Yira uses a friendly approach and positive attitude, students initiate or broaden their knowledge, no matter the age, gender, or physical condition; opening up to the possibility of change at all levels. She brings to her classes a joyful and non-judgmental attitude, helping students to feel confident and discover the beauty and self-acceptance that yoga, meditation, and Ayurveda have to offer.

With the International yoga instructor certification from the Sivananda Yoga Ashram in France and the Himalayan Institute in the US, with additional training from great masters, the yogi lifestyle has become an essential part of her life.

Yira has always been passionate about physical activities: taekwondo hall of famer, advanced scuba diver, intermidiate golfer, and more. Alongside her family, she lived and taught in several African countries. In 2013, back to her homeland -the Dominican Republic- she established Ananda Yoga Punta Cana. Since then, she has been sharing her experience and passion with locals and foreigners through online and in-person classes, courses, and trainings.
