Dawn Torres, RYT 500

 

 
Dawn Torres is the owner of Laughing Buddha Yoga Studio. Yoga has been a part of Dawn's life for close to 10 years.  Dawn completed her 200 hour teacher training and certification with Yoga Works in Seattle. Yoga Works combines principals from Ashtanga and Iyengar yoga in a Vinyasa style class. Dawn has traveled to Rishikesh, India twice in her quest to broaden her knowledge of the yogic path. Rishikesh is tucked at the base of the Himalayas and is considered to be the birthplace of yoga.   Dawn enjoys watching students grow in their yoga practice, surprising themselves as they become more aware of their inner and outer strength. Dawn has benefited from the healing benefits of yoga as well. She has lived with Asthma since childhood and credits the breath (pranayama) used in yoga to the amazing quality of life she enjoys today. It excites her to know that yoga can help so many others with various health issues, and achieving a more balanced and healthy state of being.
