ATI
MORSHEDI
She/Her
Vinyasa
What is something that would surprise me about you?
I was a semi professional dancer for 13 years.
What can I expect from your class?
A full immersive experience that hopefully makes you feel larger than life from the music, to the poses, the longer flow, and the ideology we experience together. My classes tend to focus more on transitions, flow, and progression in weeks-long journeys.
What is the most essential part of practice for you?
The most essential part of practice is that it is a practice; that every class even from the same teacher is something new for us to approach with a different mind set, a differing breath, and a different intention.
Ati is Persian and grew up in Paris with her family.
She discovered yoga in 2009 in Paris, on her healing journey after an injury. At first, she’d join class once or twice a week, but within a few months, she was practicing every single day. During one class, and, more precisely, during a twist, she saw a poster for a yoga retreat in India. She saw that as an opportunity to deepen her practice and understand where Yoga comes from.
After the retreat, she wandered in South East Asia for a few months, spending some time in a Buddhist Temple practicing Meditation, and taking yoga classes wherever she could. Back to Paris, started a Yoga teacher training with Gerard Arnaud. She began teaching Vinyasa classes in several studios in Paris in 2012.
When she moved to San Francisco with her husband 8 years ago, Ati continued to develop her practice in several studios in the City.
During the pandemic, she perfected her teacher skills with Noah Maze with a special focus on anatomy.
Her classes offer a well rounded vinyasa practice that keep the connection between prana (breath) and asana (posture) very present to stay in a constant meditation in movement. She wants everyone to find a deeper understanding and love of their body. Her classes are dynamic, offering alignment cues and playful transitions like a dance, and an invitation to try more challenging asanas with a smile.
Ati is mother to a beautiful daughter, she’s also an illustrator and a contemporary dancer.
What is something that would surprise me about you?
I love karaoke and Christmas movies.
What can I expect from your class?
To try new asanas, have fun transitions and choreographed sequences, be challenged, keep a deep connection to the breath.
What is the most essential part of practice for you?
Understanding how the body moves threw the breath, finding the meditative state in the movement.
