Ava Moreno entered the yoga and fitness community through her first love: dance. She began her dance training as a toddler, training in all forms of dance. After having struggled with a severe eating disorder when she began her professional dance career at age 16, Ava found Colleen Quinn, an incredible mentor and inspiration to her through the form of a personal trainer and physical therapist.
Ava has also struggled with several injuries in dance due to her hypermobility, including a medial patellofemoral ligament knee reconstruction at age 20, leading her to look into deeper ways of understanding and helping her body. Although Ava had first been introduced to yoga at age 11 through dance, it was not until she entered recovery from her eating disorder that she began practicing regularly, discovering the peace, focus, and stability--both physically and mentally--it brought her. Throughout her recovery, Ava studied nutrition and began to explore the yoga, fitness, and wellness world.
"I believe in creativity, joy, and the power of intelligent and innovative sequencing all with the goal to get us where we need to go. I hope to inspire my students to step outside of their comfort zones, to encourage them to try new things, and to gain trust in themselves. I aim to help my students learn how to listen to their own bodies and to trust their intuition to guide them where they need to go. All the while, we create connection and community."
