Iza started practicing yoga in 2019 after wrapping up her time as a colorguard performer and coach. Yoga just felt right, like coming home, so she kept showing up on her mat. After a year, she decided to dive into a 200-hour teacher training with We Yoga Co. and found out how much she loved sharing yoga with others. Now, she teaches full-time and is all about growing, learning, and connecting with people as we all figure out this beautiful, messy life together.
Kapwa is a core value of Filipino culture and is at the root of how Iza shows up as a teacher, a lover, a friend, and a person. She is there to guide, to offer her experiences, and to create spaces that embrace the essence of Kapwa, and within that essence is Yoga.
The concept of seeing ourselves in others and others in ourselves guides us to treat others how we want to be treated but to also treat ourselves how we would treat others. As practitioners we hope that we continue to embody Kapwa in a way that fully represents the learnings of yoga on the mat, of the texts, and of the concepts - full heartedly.
