Rebecca Slovin Urban, "Bex", has been teaching yoga and Pilates for 11 years. She is a certified through the Yoga Alliance and PMA. Her approach focuses on developing an awareness of the breath as an essential connection between the mind, body and movement. Her playful style emphasizes finding center, and balancing the body from the inside out. She leads with enthusiasm, warmth, and a gentle sense of humor. Bex lives in Marin with her family and teaches in the Bay Area. (see schedule)
She began studying Yoga in 1994 and is always open to learning. Bex was introduced to REIKI in 2001 and felt the healing light. After years of practice of the modality, she then completed all levels of the Reiki training and mastership.
Bex has trained with many senior teachers. She has also enjoyed practicing with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, John Friend, Baron Baptiste, and Sarah Powers. Her teaching style is strongly influenced by Erich Schiffmann and the alignment principles of Anusara yoga. |
| Bex became aware of many spiritual teachers and guides at a young age. Her father introduced her to Meditation at 4. She visited the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, MA, at 6. This was her first experience meditating, she went so deep, she fell asleep on her cushion.
