Ananda Munoz B.A., PT, CMT, CPT, RYT- 200
Practicing yoga since early childhood, first, with 2 years at a guru kula and then continued practice as part of everyday home life has provided the gift of a very strong foundation in yoga. Ananda Muñoz developed an early interest in the body, movement mechanics, and the healing process. She has studied various forms of dance from Modern to African to Ballroom with an ever increasing interest in why injuries occur and the best way to avoid them. She practiced Physical Therapy and Massage Therapy in NY and NJ working with professional athletes in fields ranging from figure skating to football, professional dancers, musicians and singers. She has worked with major corporations (i.e. Unilever, Prudential & Liz Claiborne) as a consultant for ergonomic design of the workspace and the benefits of providing fitness facilities with access to regular massage to employees. She maintains a private practice of clients with diverse needs. Her goal is to help people focus on where they are ‘now’ with their bodies so that they may feel and perform better tomorrow.
