"Teach ONLY what you practice and ONLY from your experience"
It's Yoga's Teaching Philosophy
Gilbert M. Ledezma, RYT200
Gilbert Ledezma, owner and teacher of It’s Yoga Panama, is an Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga teacher certified by It’s Yoga and registered in Yoga Alliance for 200-hours (RYT200). He obtained a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico in 2008. He has always had a philosophic/scientific approach towards his surroundings and submerged his adolescent years in philosophy and science books.
After being approached to try yoga by someone of trust for almost two years, he finally felt he should give it a try after seeing David Kyle (co-founder of It’s Yoga Puerto Rico) saluting the sun 108 times. Observing David “floating” through the Sun Salutations with gravity-defying movements, he asked himself: “How can that be possible?”, followed by the challenge, “I have to experience the sensation of floating myself”.
His journey started in early 2007 when he joined It’s Yoga Puerto Rico studio for his first yoga class. His teachers and mentors, David Kyle and Elizabeth Salaberry, inspired him every day in every practice since then. A little over a year of continuous practice, his teachers and mother encouraged Gilbert to take the Level 1 Teacher’s Training Course with It’s Yoga right after obtaining his B.S. Following the training, discipline for practice and finding and listening to his inner guru have become his inspiration.
“Practice becomes firmly grounded when well attended to for a long time, without break and in all earnestness"
(Patanjali Yoga Sutra 1:14)
Gilbert’s classes follow the It’s Yoga System created by Larry Schultz and philosophy “to share the love of the practice”.
