Felicia Marie Tomasko RN, E-RYT 500, inspires people to follow the path to personal freedom and vibrant health through the practices of Yoga and Ayurveda as incorporated into an everyday modern routine. She teaches a humorous and heartfelt exploration of shakti (sacred energy) and rasayana (rejuvenation) through asana, pranayama, concentration, and relaxation. Her belief is that these seemingly esoteric traditions can be profoundly relevant to daily life and contain vital lessons on how we can learn to live with intent in the modern world.

She combines more than 20 years of study in Yoga and Ayurveda with her training and licensure as a registered nurse. Felicia serves as the editor-in-chief of “LA Yoga Ayurveda and Health” magazine (where she has been on staff since the magazine’s inception). In the Ayurveda community, Felicia is the president of the California Association of Ayurvedic Medicine and is on the board of directors of the National Ayurvedic Medical Association. She is also on the advisory board of the Holistic Option and serves on the Leadership Council of the Green Yoga Association.

In addition to being a featured voice on Intent.com, she writes regularly on health and well-being for books, newspapers, magazines, and websites. Aside from Yoga and Ayurveda, Felicia has worked in cognitive neuropsychology and plant biochemistry research and has degrees in nursing and environmental biology.
