Join us for an All-Levels Yoga class on Thursdays from 5:30-6:30 pm MT.
Classes are held in-person at the ASHA (Albuquerque School of Healing Arts) / High Desert Yoga building.
All levels are welcome to this class. The class focuses on different aspects of Yoga, such as:
- strengthening, well-aligned Iyengar-style poses;
- breathwork - Prānāyāma;
- gentle Yin stretches which lengthen our connective tissue and quiet the nervous system;
- and some slow, mindful Vinyasa-style flows.
Yoga props are utilized as needed so that any pose can be adjusted to fit your body's personal needs.

Why Yoga & About Me
Yoga can be for everyone
and anyone's body CAN do Yoga!
So many times, we may feel intimidated by the thought of trying something new. But what often happens when we do try something new? Many times, we are very pleasantly surprised.
So, if you’re new to Yoga, don’t be afraid to try it. You, your body, mind & spirit may love it. Take the time to practice something beneficial for your body & its systems, no matter what activities you enjoy doing, nor your age or background.
For myself, I started my Hatha Yoga journey in NYC in 1998. My background is as a professional ballerina, starting my training at the age of 7 at the Vienna State Opera Ballet School in Austria, and receiving my Bachelor of Arts in dance & choreography in London, UK. I have studied and practiced many different styles of Yoga and meditation for over 20+ years, including Iyengar, Vinyasa, Yin Yoga, Ashtanga, and Buddhist meditation.
I am grateful to have received my Iyengar-style Yoga Teacher Training in 2019 from the great school, High Desert Yoga, and its master teachers, Zoreh Afsarzadeh and Kim Schwartz, and my Yin Yoga Teacher Training in 2021 from the wonderfully inspiring expert teacher Melissa Spamer. I am honored to have completed the wide-ranging, fascinating month-long Teacher's Intensive with Ashtanga Yoga Legends Richard Freeman & Mary Taylor in the summer of 2023. I have taught Yoga since 2019 at High Desert Yoga, Wellspring Yoga, Nora Hansa Yoga, for private clients and as a volunteer instructor for the VA's Mind-Body program for military veterans.
I also love being outdoors, running, biking, hiking, and swimming having grown up hiking and skiing in the beautiful Alps of Austria. And grateful for having finished my first Half Ironman 70.3 miles triathlon in 2021 and my first Full Ironman 140.6 miles triathlon in 2022.
All folks from all different walks of life are most warmly welcome to class.
Testimonials
AS A VETERAN AND ATHLETE, I LOVE TAKING NORA'S YOGA CLASS. IT HELPS ME WITH MY STRENGTH, FLEXIBILITY, AND MENTAL TRAINING. THANK YOU, NORA!
Loved Nora's class last night! Perfect mix of strong, active, strength building poses balanced with those longer held asanas designed to help lubricate the connective tissues. Nora's instructions are easy to follow and she gives modifications so that one can tailor the practice for what is needed on an individual level. The hour flew by and I was in such a wonderful mood afterwards!
My husband and I have been taking Nora’s virtual class for weeks and love it. Her descriptions and explanations are helpful for beginners and experienced alike. The poses are just enough of a challenge to help us develop but still enjoy the practice. She’s welcoming and has a wonderfully calming voice.
I was looking for a "strong gentle" yoga that would work my core while helping me feel like I wasn't overwhelmed. Nora's class is perfect for this. Plus, her positive narrative and occasional brief readings while holding a pose help encourage and guide me, which gets me really nicely centered!
I took the yin and yang class with Nora. She is really dynamite. She is positive and always has a smile on her face. Her passion for yoga shows through naturally. Try out her class, you will not be disappointed. Namaste
