Milenia Soto

I am from Caracas, Venezuela, and have been in the U.S. for nineteen years. I first came when I was ten years old, left after four

years, and returned when I was twenty five.  I have family living the United States and Canada.

I have traveled to Costa Rica, Mexico, Colombia, Guyana, Uruguay and most of the Caribbean countries.  I travel about twice a year because this gives me an opportunity to be more in tuned with myself and to love and appreciate life. In addition, this allows me to grow as a yoga teacher and see how I can make a difference in this world.

I have been a Spanish educator for twenty years, and I feel blessed because this professional experience has given me much more fulfillment than I could’ve ever imagined.

I’m a certified Vinyasa Yoga Instructor through The Rolf Gates teaching training, certified Yoga Instructor through The

Ashville Yoga Center, and certified Children’s Yoga Teacher through The Karma kids. I lead two group classes at the

YMCA: (1) yoga for kids for the after school program and (2) power yoga for adults. In addition, I work with private clients

building personalized yoga programs. I have been a yoga practitioner for over seven years. 

My teaching focuses on breathing along with slow but gentle movement and alignments for better posture and poses. My

classes are for beginner to advanced students’ and are highly individualized based on the students needs.  My yoga practice is a

combination of Hatha, Vinyasa and Pranayama. These principals will allow yoga students to achieve a balance between body and

mind as well as enhance their spirituality.

I firmly believe that the variety of my experience not only as a yoga instructor but perhaps more importantly, as an educator qualifies me for this position.  Moreover, I sincerely believe I can inspire people from different backgrounds and help them to absorb the beauty that is around them and within them that is accessible to them through yoga.
