Esmeralda Zamarron began her yoga journey serendipitously in 2010 after seeing someone walk out of the Buhl building with a yoga mat, and there she discovered Be Nice Yoga Studio. She thought yoga would be a good compliment to her running workouts. Yoga became a break from her busy work schedule and hectic mind. With the support of her first yoga teacher, Esmeralda began to explore other styles of yoga including Short-form Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin, and deepened her practice with Mysore. She received her RYT-200 in 2015 from Be Nice Yoga Studio with Monica Breen. She has taken workshops with Yin Yoga Master Paulie Zink and Ashtanga Yoga Guru R. Sharath Jois. Her priority for her students is to help them connect to themselves through the practice of yoga in a nurturing and supportive environment.
