Previously, Lita lived and practiced in Seattle, completing a teacher training with Kathleen Hunt at Samadhi yoga, and living on the east coast at the Omega Institute intermittently for 2 years. At Omega, she also received a teaching certification, studied with many international teachers and was able develop her practice in a retreat like environment. Lita completed a three-year long course of intensive study under the direction of Zhander Remete and Emma Balnaves in 2009, and has taught Shadow Yoga at the Yoga Shala in Portland since 2006. Continued study with senior teachers, personal research and practice continue to inform her teaching.

Lita's classes are infused with a respect for the traditions of Hatha Yoga, as well as a respect for the process of each student and a sense of humor. She is grateful for the good fortune of having had very wise and experienced teachers and to have the ability to spend days engaged in teaching and practice.
