About Gita Delashmitt, E-RYT
200:
Gita began her yogic exploration in 2006. Faced with the reality of life after school and suffering from severe back pain she found yoga. What first started as 'affordable' health care soon became a life changing experience. She saw a powerful transformation in her body through the practice of physical yoga, so she decided to try meditation to focus her mind. One spiritual quest later and now she has immersed herself in the life of an urban yogini. As a 'full-time' yogini she dedicates her life to helping others in their explorations.
She currently teaches yoga full-time on the north side. As a proud member of CSGSY, Gita teaches meditation, manages programs and events, and plays in the kirtan band!! She has obtained her 200 hour certification as well as Levels 2, 3, Prenatal yoga, and attended many workshops to continue her education. Other formats she has taught are Gentle yoga, Introduction to yoga, Golden Yoga (Yoga for the elderly), Yoga Elements, Multi-Level and Vinyasa. She has also offered workshops on Restorative Yoga, Chanting, Meditation and has assisted in several of Chi-Town Shakti's teacher training programs.
In Gita's classes there is an emphasis on exploration, alignment, inner discovery, and community. With a belief that asking questions without judgement can be informative and freeing, she uses the breath to delve deeper into exploration. Her classes are kept fresh by "changing it up" with tools like partner's work, props, physical adjustments, rhythm and chanting. Gita has always enjoyed being in service to her community and is excited to meet new neighbors. She hopes to empower her students with the thirst for personal growth through self inquiry.

3 Things That Make Her Happy:
1) Singing and Dancing
2) Being in nature (former Alaskan)
3) Creating...
Favorite Poses:
1) Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Facing Dog)
2) Bhakasana (Crow Pose)
3) Prasarita Padottanasana (Wide Angle Standing Forward Bend)
"Gita has a real gift for explaining the poses and describing any adjustments that are needed to get the maximum benefit out of the pose. I have always had trouble following verbal cues for physical poses, but Gita's guidance is always crystal clear. She is also really mindful of what poses are well suited to a prenatal practice, and every class includes poses that address the immediate needs of a pregnant woman as well as prepare the body (and mind!) for labor and delivery." -Jill L.
