about adriana

Adriana is a mother, certified yoga teacher, bellydance artist and now a childbirth educator in the original HypnoBirthing Mongan Method. Her passion for teaching began in 1998 at the Arabesque Academy, where she taught regular bellydance classes from introductory to advanced levels as well as private lessons & workshops. Once she became certified as a yoga instructor, Adriana began teaching regular yoga classes at The Yoga Studio, where she received her certification. Since moving to Portland, Oregon in 2006, she has taught regular classes around town in both yoga & bellydance.

Adriana's own pregnancy & birth experience of her beautiful little boy, Karuna, was very transforming & empowering. Since then, she has become passionate about conscious birth and empowering birthing women and new mothers through this most amazing life-changing event. Mothering is her spiritual path.  Adriana completed a 4 month prenatal yoga apprenticeship with Vittoria Palazzi, part owner of Ombase Yoga Studio in SW Portland and Director of Birth Wisdom and is now teaching prenatal/postnatal yoga classes , and prenatal bellydance workshops at the studio. She has also completed Level 1 of Sacred Birth Works Mentorship with Stephanie Dawn. She is very excited to have just recently taken the HypnoBirthing Practitioner's training.

'It is my hope that every birthing family experience the most joyful & peaceful birth."

-Adriana Sarasvati
