Nihāl Sevillano

Nihāl began practicing yoga in 1996 when he started studying philosophy, meditating and doing Hatha yoga. He earned a degree in Industrial Engineering from CalPoly Pomona in So Cal. After working in that field, he decided to become a full time Hatha yoga teacher in 2000. He has studied many modalities of yoga including Iyengar, Ashtanga, Ananda and Anusara yoga. In 2003 he decided to study Anusara Yoga exclusively and has trained with the founder of this style and many senior teachers such as Denise Benitez, Elizabeth Rainey, Ross Rayburn, Noah Maze, Naime Jezzemy, Sue Elkin and Desiree Rumbaugh among others. Nihāl weaves the spiritual and philosophical teachings of non-dualistic tantra into the movements of the body in every class. Each class is unique and a new opportunity to connect to a much deeper and effervescent experience of self. Nihāl has also studied extensively Non-Dualistic Tantra which is another one of his passions. He has studied with Christopher Wallace, Paul Muller Ortega, Douglas Brooks, Carlos Pomeda and Sally Kempton. Nihāl’s intention for his practice of yoga and teaching is a constant refining and deepening of the connection to the Heart.
