About Pilar
E-RYT500, YACEP
Pilar has maintained a consistent yoga practice since around 2007 and completed RYT-200 hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2011 in Tulum, México under the guidance of Sharon Tessandori. Practicing and studying with teachers of various styles of yoga has inspired Pilar's teaching. This is what led her initially to be certified in Hatha/Vinyasa, seeing it as a way to best draw from all of her influences. In 2013, she went on to complete Modo Yoga’s RYT-500 hour program in Montréal and was certified to teach Modo Flow in 2015.
She also holds BA’s in Spanish and Art History, focusing on Mesoamerican and Chicano studies. When not teaching or practicing yoga, Pilar can be found reading, studying, painting and drawing, or appreciating art in its various forms. She's a docent at the Lois & Richard Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art and a Student Physical Therapist Assistant at University of Cincinnati Clermont College.
