Sita Rosalie Davis yoga, art and community
certified yoga therapist
Bio
Sita is a Certified Yoga Therapist with 1000 hours of training through Niroga Institute in Berkeley. Sita humbly and lovingly shares the trauma-informed, heart-opening transformational practices of asana, pranayama, mudra, chanting and meditation that have been transmitted to her over the years from her beloved teachers.
Sita’s artwork is the expression of deep commitment to community, education, social justice, spiritual growth and inextricable connection to the earth. These values sprouted out of a Bay Area childhood, where she grew between the hills and redwoods of Marin County and the cultural and racial diversity of Oakland, and from her extensive travel in Latin America as a young adult.
Born in India and raised in the Bay Area, Sita is an educator, artist, mother, yogini, salsera, and co-creator of intentional communities and alternative spaces. She has been practicing yoga regularly for the past twelve years and intermittently since childhood. Her earliest teachers were her parents, who spent the months before and after her birth studying with TKV Desikachar in Southern India.
She co-founded a bilingual pre-school cooperative and has over ten years of experience teaching Spanish and Yoga to children in the East Bay. There she lives with her daughter, Ollin, and an extended family of artists, musicians, medicine women and lovers of life. Sita studied painting, printmaking, and literature at the Universidad Veracruzana in Xalapa, Mexico. Her bachelor’s degree is in Studio Art and Spanish from Willamette University. Sita also holds a California multiple subjects teaching credential from Mills College.
