Shila Tirabassi

Shila Tirabassi moved to New York twelve years ago to attend The Juilliard School for modern dance. Shila has studied many different approaches to movement including Alexander Technique, Klein Technique, Pilates, Feldenkrais, and anatomy with world renowned Irene Dowd. It wasn’t until after she graduated that she discovered Yoga. Shila felt an immediate connection and found great joy in practicing a physical form of conditioning which profoundly integrated something much deeper. Years of curiosity ultimately led her to OM Yoga Center’s teacher training program under the direction of Cyndi Lee. She has since been endlessly humbled by the incredible teachers and students at OM who inspire her daily. Shila has danced professionally with Ballet Hispanico, Merce Cunningham Repertory Group, Lar Lubovitch, Mark Morris, Buglisi/Foreman and currently, The Stephen Petronio Company.
