Hali Schwartz

Hali has been deeply immersed in the world of Yoga since childhood when her mother met her guru from the Himalayas while he was teaching in Canada. For Hali, this began what would be a life long journey into the heart of the Yoga practice. She first visited India in 1988 and has been studying at the International Meditation Institute there, every year since. This was where she was introduced to the Hatha and Restorative practices of Yoga, studied Sanskrit, the various Indian scriptures such as the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita as well as Yoga history, religion and philosophy. She also learned the science and immersed herself in the practice of Meditation, Prananyam and Chanting. Hali passionately teaches all aspects of this ancient and rich tradition in ways that are relevant and accessible… and often humorous. A teachers teacher, Hali is a senior faculty member of the Yogaspace 200 and 300 hour Teacher Training Programs. She also teaches public and private classes and leads International Yoga Retreats in varied and exotic destinations in Europe, Asia and India.
