Aviva Black
Aviva is an Anusara-Inspired yoga teacher who took her first yoga class in 1998 in NYC – just one week before moving to San Francisco.  While her practice began in the Ashtanga style, another transformational seed was planted when after several years she attended her first Anusara class.  Since then, her connection to her practice and yoga community has steadily deepened.  And so, with two energetic children and an encouraging husband at home, Aviva shifted from many years in elementary and secondary education, to one of teaching yoga.

Aviva has had the great fortune to study Anusara Yoga weekly with Abby Tucker since 2005 and is currently Abby’s apprentice.  She has completed over 300 hours of training with Sianna Sherman and Noah Maze.  Aviva’s challenging, but accessible sequences are taught in the Anusara style and are focused on students building awareness and sensitivity, as well as strength and spaciousness… all with a healthy dose of playfulness.
