Adina Wall
I am inspired by love, movement, and freedom. I began my yoga journey in 2012 as a former student of dance and completed my RYT 200 hour in 2016 at Tribal Yoga in Virginia with aspirations to grow! Using tools of vinyasa (linking breath to body), yoga has shown me how to slow down and appreciate the gift of being in the moment even if life turns me upside down. It has both taught me about and guided me through darkness showing me that I already have the power to light up my whole world. I want to share this experience with you, as we dance through the rhythms of life. By offering a class that is both accessible and subject to challenge you, I do my best to create an atmosphere where others from all walks of life are invited to freely express their mind, body, and spirit with positive reflection rather than judgement. Much love and hope to cross your path!
