Nina Alena Beatty

Nina was fortunate to have grown up in here on the North Shore of O’ahu, around parents and a community who practiced yoga.  It was easy to say yes when invited to her first formal Hatha class in 2001.  It couldn’t have come at a more perfect time in her life. She had just returned home from college and had the time to reach beyond organized sports and her studies.  She dedicated her free time to Yoga and surfing, which she feels compliment each other perfectly.  Within her first couple years of practicing Yoga, it became a facet of her daily life. 

In June of 2007, Nina made the huge move to Virginia Beach from Hawai’i.  It was here where she separated herself from her normal routine and opened herself completely to Yoga.  The teacher training opened her heart to what yoga brings beyond the physical practice of asana.  She returned home to the North Shore in fall of 2008 to take the Yoga Philosophy retreat (www.yogaphilosophy.net), which taught her even more about the science of Yoga.  She has taken the course twice since then absorbing more knowledge each time. 
  
Teaching has brought a new light into her life and she is delighted to share it with her students.  Her teachings are inspired by many different styles, highlighting Jivamukti and Integral teachings.  She is registered with the Yoga Alliance as a 200-hour registered yoga teacher in Basic Hatha Yoga.  She is honored to be a part of the North Shore Yoga Co-op teaching staff.
