Nubia lives in Fairfax, California, with Jai and their son, Ezra..
Nubia is founder of the Bhakti Nova School of Yoga and Dance and leads classes, workshops, and teacher-trainings internationally, independently, or in collaboration with her husband, kirtan artist Jai Uttal.
About the Author Yogini, dancer, and author Nubia Teixeira was born in Brazil and has been practicing and teaching traditional Yoga and classical Indian Odissi dance for over twenty-six years.
Honoring the gifts of all three systems, Nubia Teixeira shares a didactic, beautiful, and truly original voyage into the heart of devotional Yoga practice.
Nubia\'s yoga-mudra system combines expressions that are deeply rooted in the heart of traditional yoga, classical Indian Odissi dance, and inspirational bhakti Yoga storytelling.
Drawing, in particular, on expressions and hand gestures found in Indian dance, these newly developed poses will help transform a person\'s hatha Yoga practice into an embodied devotional and artistic yogic experience.
Through beautiful photographs of each Yoga pose, Nubia guides the reader in a meaningful union of hand gestures with asanas.
In so doing, she has created a unique and contemporary Yoga system that encompasses all three healing arts.
In this book, she fuses her passion for Yoga and dance with her love for bhakti (devotion).
