Ben Lombardo

Teaches at ISHTA Yoga

Ben Lombardo found his passion for teaching yoga after many years of exploring the body through fencing and ballroom dance. Synthesizing a lifelong interest in psychology and self awareness with his love of movement, yoga instantly became a tool to unify his life and find peace of mind. The integration of body, breath, and mind is fundamental to Ben's classes. His teaching style encourages a strong practice that yields to the natural intelligence of the body as a means to expand awareness of the subtle body. His goal as a teacher is to challenge students within their limits and help them find more grace and ease in their practice. Above all, he hopes to inspire his students to never stop exploring-- using the physical body as a gateway to the subtler dimensions of the self and a heightened understanding of the interconnectedness of all life, within and without.
