Mitra Tredway, a certified yoga instructor and certified fitness specialist, was born in Tehran, Iran. As a teenager she practiced the Ovaicy system of Sufism. During this time she also became skilled in the interpretation of traditional Persian music and dance. She began studying Yoga at the age of 17 and has been studying and teaching Yoga for 30 years. During these 30 years she has studied with many master teachers and combines (with gratitude) many forms to create her own personal practice and style in the class. The classes are energetic and offer a healing and spiritual experience. They are about the Spirit in the Asanas and are a well-paved journey. She skillfully guides the group, revealing powerful tools for improving health and opening to the spiritual dimensions within. While teaching with precision and a great sense of humor she nourishes the soul. Mitra is currently teaching Yoga in Santa Cruz, CA, and offering workshops in Albuquerque, NM, Troncones, Mexico, Graz, Austria and Auroville, India.
