DEVEN SISLER
I remember my first gymnastics class vividly: at five years old I wasn't flexible; I was terrified of going upside-down; and I certainly wasn't "good at it"! So I gave up. Luckily, many years later, I ended up at Dell'Arte School for Physical Theater in Northern California, where acrobatics was a part of the weekly curriculum. I finally discovered that upside-down, among other things, can definitely be learned if you practice how to learn.
I have been abundantly blessed to encounter some people who have propelled me forward on this amazing journey: Kevin & Erin O'Keefe with CircusYoga; the mind-blowing NYC AcroYoga kula; and my unconditionally supportive, while also very cool family!
I believe I could have easily been a tree or a dolphin, or a grain of sand in this life; AcroYoga heightens my human experience on so many levels, bringing me into harmony with myself and this beautiful world we have the wonderful opportunity to experience.
I am laughter, dance, movement, song rolled into a ball of playfullness and am honored to share this fusion tradition of yoga yumminess!
