Anne-Rene Petrarca
(she/her)
I am a dance artist, Alexander Technique teacher, somatic explorer and the artistic director of Sculpted Motion. My yoga studies began back in the 1990's in New York City. Later I received my Vinyasa yoga teaching certification from the White Lotus Foundation. My teachers have influenced and inspired me and I'm grateful for their guidance and wisdom: Ty Landrum, Sara Baird, Erin Dudley, Keith Borden, Cindi Lee's Om Yoga Center, Laughing Lotus Yoga and the anatomical teachings of Irene Dowd, Leslie Kaminoff and Sara Neece. Other influences are Krishnamurti, Ram Das, Kundalini yoga, Gaga, dance and Gyrotonic. I have always expressed myself through movement. My inspirations are deeply rooted in nature, music, poetry, mythology, art, the pulsation of life, Spanda and the night sky. There is a fullness, flow, vibration to life that I know exist and I find comfort in knowing that I am a work in progress carving my way toward it. How magnificent to be part of something rather than nothing. Soulful Flow is a robust vinyasa yoga class that will wake you up and offer balance to the body, mind and spirit. The movement meditations are physically challenging and heart inspired. Hand mudras, chanting, inspired readings and music are incorporated into the class. Let yoga bring you closer to life !
