Rocio Varela

Rocio started practicing Kundalini yoga in 2007 to recover her health and build her immune system. In 2012 she fell in love with Ashtanga yoga and became a student of David C Kyle at Ashtanga Yoga Puerto Rico, going on to become an instructor in 2013. A chef by trade, Rocio transitioned her daily life to teaching yoga full time. In April 2016 she completed a 40-hour Ashtanga intensive teacher training with David Swenson and a 200-hour Hatha/Vinyasa Teacher Training at the Yoga Loft in Bethlehem, where she also completed her Restorative Yoga certification in March 2017. She later took a 200-hour refresher at Saraswati Yoga Joint in Norwalk, CT. Rocio became a Certified Holistic Health Nutritionist in 2020 and now combines yoga, meditation, and wellness in her teaching.
