| Cara Bessko Hometown: Mt. Pleasant, PA Sun Sign: Gemini Favorite Word: EPIC I wish for.... everyone to see the Grand Canyon, from the rim and ESPECIALLY from the bottom, at least once. I am thankful for..... health, family which includes my friends as they are all family too, sleeping in, all my long excursions outdoors What gives you peace? Being in any body of water especially rivers, massage, hugging, having all the people I love around me. Why Yoga? If I stop, it becomes VERY apparent very quickly that I in fact NEED it. It's stabilizing and nourishing to my mental, spiritual and physical health. I would wither in all three areas if I stopped. I am a lifer! 3 words to describe you: Lover, listener, FUN What / who inspires you? oh SO many things!! Anybody who is living their truthful path no matter WHAT, being adventurous inspires me, and books! What you can’t live without? Alone time Favorite yoga pose and why ? Just simply prayer pose. Used as namaste, as centering or in Sun salutations. It feels good. Favorite foods? Eggs, toast and bacon! Best advice you’ve ever received (from who?): Just keep opening doors until you find one that you want to walk through. My aunt Elizabeth Words to describe your teaching style? hmmmmm...I'll let my students answer that one :) I do know that I am honest in my teachings... What do you love to do for FUN? go out with my girlfriends and dance, and take as many trips a year as I can to explore more more more. When/where/with who was your first yoga class? It was with a young Iyengar teacher here in Pittsburgh in 2003, she had a great energy about her, she really knew her body inside and out it seemed and I remember wanting to feel and learn more. Local escape: My backyard, deep in any of the parks or alone time in the 64c cafe in Squirrel Hill.

Cara Bessko R.Y.T. is a certified Hatha Yoga teacher, trained to teach children and adults. She started her training in Pittsburgh, PA with Yoga H'OM owner and instructor Donna Dyer. She furthers her Yoga education continuously with other teachers and most of all, learning from her students. Yoga brought an intensely positive shift into her life from the first class she noticed it helping with depression and insomnia. Cara enjoys seeing her students walk out of class feeling and looking better than when they walked in and especially loves teaching private lessons as it gives the gift of the one on one exchange. Remembering that Yoga makes us all better human beings first and foremost, Cara encourages students to take their practice off the mat and into real life in any way big or small. Her class is always meant to be attainable for any student in any level of their practice. Fun is essential with a focus on stress management, learning how to breathe deep, and LETTING IT GO!
