Margit Bermudez

Margit was first drawn to yoga as it brought her relief from chronic pain and migraines. Later, as part of an apprenticeship program with Jeanne Dillion, she discovered deeper physical and emotional transformation through the embodiment practices of Meditative Movement and iRest® Yoga Nidra. These experiences led her to deepen and continue her studies. Margit teaches at Yoga for Wellness, Yoga Tree of Boise, the Treasure Valley Downtown YMCA, and a senior living center. Her passion for teaching is rooted in her desire to share the practices that have so profoundly affected her. Additionally, Margit’s academic studies of anatomy and musculoskeletal mechanics during her Master’s program at Stanford, along with her years working as an engineer, give her a unique and valuable perspective on mechanics of movement and sequencing in yoga. She is a graduate of the Shanti 200- and 300-hour teacher training programs as well as the Shanti Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training. She has extensively studied Viniyoga, Meditative Movement, and iRest® with Jeanne Dillion since 2017. Margit is a Level 2 iRest teacher currently undergoing the iRest Certification program. Margit’s favorite yoga quote is from Bernie Clark, “We do not use the body to get into a pose; we use the pose to get into the body.”
