Rima Sophia Haggerty

Rima was introduced to yoga and meditation as a child by her mom and grew up attending church at Self-Realization Fellowship, founded by Paramahansa Yogananda. She attended her first in-studio yoga class in 1992 at Bikram Yoga College of India. After moving from Portland to Los Angeles in 2000, she continued to practice yoga and, in 2003, completed a yoga teacher training, followed by several other trainings over the years. Having studied a variety of yoga styles, her classes draw from each of them and are grounded in the fundamental belief that we are meant to move our bodies and quiet our minds. In addition to teaching yoga, Rima is a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant, Certified Functional Nutrition Coach, life-long learner, and present-day student studying neuroscience and functional neurology with Z-Health Performance Solutions, along with advanced yoga training at the Alba Yoga Academy. In her free time she enjoys cooking, traveling, surfing, and snuggling her tiny chihuahua. Rima currently resides in Portland, Oregon.
