Bernadette Soler | C-IAYT E-RYT500

Bernadette is the Student Advisor for AVI’s training programs. She was introduced to yoga (and Viniyoga specifically!) at a young age through her mother, a student of Gary’s for over 20 years. Dabbling with yoga through high school and college, she eventually joined a teacher training in her early 20’s. After a short time of teaching asana classes, she recognized the need for a deeper understanding of what yoga can offer to the multi-dimensional human experience, and the Viniyoga teachings were ready and waiting. She began her formal study of Viniyoga in 2016, and graduated in 2020 as a fully certified Yoga Therapist. Bernadette currently resides in Wilmington, NC with her husband and baby-on-the-way. She offers yoga classes and therapeutic yoga programs online and in person.
