PENNY ITZKOVITS
	A mother of three children, Penny has been a special education teacher for Dade county schools at the high school level. She began practicing Yoga in 1997. “I fell in love with what Yoga did for the flexibility of my BODY (after gaining 60 pounds with my pregnancy), for the serenity of my MIND (after working with handicapped children) and for the balance of my SPIRIT (connecting the outer and inner self to deal with my life in general)” says Penny. She was trained in a Hot Yoga Style (similar to Bikram Yoga) and was certified in 2001. She also taught Art at the Tauber Academy and kids yoga. She is passionate about hot yoga because she is certain it brings a true connection of Mind, Body and Spirit. It is a cleansing yoga, a strengthening yoga, a meditation in movement.
