Yoga is a tremendous force of healing and challenge for Aria, and one that has helped her overcome supposedly "permanent" physical injuries and chronic pain. A former award-winning body builder, she believes that our bodies possess an intuitive intelligence and an energy that makes all things possible.

Aria's practice is most inspired by the Vinyasa Flow style developed by Shiva Rea, the Alignment principles of Anusara, and the Core Strength principles of Forrest Yoga. Aria's approach to yoga emphasizes fluid movement, rhythmic pulsations, and an awareness of the natural cycles of the body and the universe. This perspective calls her to draw on many other disciplines, including Power Yoga, Chi Gong and Sivananda.

Aria currently resides and teaches and meditation in Los Angeles. She is grateful for the influence of many teachers, including Shiva Rea, Bryan Kest, Anthony Benenati, Ana Forrest, Matthew Cohen, Brad Keimach, Hala Khouri and Saul David Raye. She is certified by Yoga Alliance and has completed over six hundred hours of training.

Aria is also a frequent contributor to LA Yoga magazine.
