Bridgett Piacenti
About 10 years ago Bridgett signed-up she and her best friend for a Hatha Yoga class in her Chicago neighborhood so they could get together once a week, and take a break from their hectic work life. She also yearned to fill a void that had once been filled by her 20 year trained dance background. Attending the class once a week led to twice a week, which then led to three times a week.....and quite immediately Bridgett knew she was "hooked". Soon after she read an article on Ashtanga yoga and was given the name, Suddha Weixler, founder of the Chicago Yoga Center. She then began studying Ashtanga under his guidance, completed his Teacher Training Course, and began teaching led Ashtanga.
About 4 years ago Bridgett and her husband, Neil, moved to Evanston. The move "out of the city" brought her to Sharyn Galindo and North Shore Yoga. Shortly after the move north, she became pregnant and gave birth to her son, Rocco. She practiced Intermediate and Primary Series daily up until her delivery under the loving guidance of Bill Shapleigh and Sharyn (who had been down this journey twice before her). Since it worked so well the first time...she decided to do it all again and gave birth just 7 weeks ago to a baby girl, Prima! She too was a yoga baby!
Bridgett has studied with Lino Miele, Manju Jois, Dena Kingsberg, Richard Freeman, Tim Miller and Paul Dallaghan. She honors anyone who makes the time to step on his/her mat to practice. Her spirit is colored with a sense of discipline and patience. She is forever a student and you can often hear her encouragingly saying to students (and herself) "it will come".
Bridgett currently teaches Mysore, Ashtanga Primary Series and Vinyasa Flow at North Shore Yoga, along with private lessons and led Ashtanga at Yogaview-Division! |  |
