Antonia Kao ~ Biography

I have been practicing yoga since the early 1990s, and teaching since 2003*. I first fell in love with Kundalini yoga, then discovered Ashtanga Vinyasa in 2003 during a teacher training at Avalon Yoga. Since then, I have focused on Ashtanga Vinyasa with many veteran teachers, including my current teachers John Berlinsky and Lea Watkins, and, at the Sri K Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute in Mysore, India, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and his grandson Sharath Rangaswamy. I have additionally been nourished by eclectic mind-body-spirit practices such as yoga nidra, Skan Reichian Therapy, and hoop dance. It is with gratitude to my teachers** that I share the clarity and beauty of the Ashtanga Vinyasa tradition with others. When not on the yoga mat, I can usually be found spending time my life partner and our beautiful daughter, or making art.
