Aura Garver
 Aura Garver was raised in the mountains of Northern New Mexico where she made an early connection with nature and the outdoors. She has been an athlete all her life, trained in many sports and was a Champion Collegiate High Jumper for the University of New Mexico. She is competitive in Volleyball and also enjoys hiking, biking, snowshoeing and a recent passion for Triathlons.
Aura was certified as a Personal Trainer by the American Council on Exercise (ACE) in 1999. Helping others become fit and expand their own physical horizons was a natural progression from her own exercise background. Aura also has been a certified (Yogafit, Level 3) yoga teacher since 2001. From the outset, Aura has strived to teach yoga in a way that feels accessible and comfortable for a wide range of people. Her classes are “user-friendly” and use a welcoming format that is easy to follow and connect with. Her classes are infused with humor, reassurance and creativity. Her extensive knowledge of anatomy and physiology helps ensure safe classes where alignment is well understood and conveyed. This does not however, inhibit the “flow” of her classes. Aura is primarily a Vinyasa “flow” style teacher and uses choreography and music to create a feeling of seamless class that ensures the practice feels smooth and well planned. Aura also has studied in Ashtanga and Iyengar practice styles. Aura has led fitness and yoga retreats for women in Jamaica, Mexico and Hawaii. She is an excellent group facilitator as well as designer of corporate fitness programs for larger businesses.
In both her yoga and personal training Aura works to accommodate each individual’s needs and lifestyle. She believes fitness should be fun and functional. We need to feel strong and comfortable in our bodies so that we feel capable and competent in general. Feeling good in our skin transmits into all other aspects of our lives. When we feel good, we are happy. It is this essence that Aura teaches.
