Checka Antifonario (RYT-200) is a full-time experienced yoga instructor and children’s yoga specialist in the greater Boston/Cambridge area. She also runs Radiant Child Yoga Teacher Trainings both locally and throughout the U.S.
Checka’s yoga journey began in 2006, when she moved from Cambridge, MA to the Big Island of Hawaii to live and work at a yoga and wellness retreat. In this setting of stunning natural beauty, she began to deepen her own practice, along with her love and appreciation for the strengthening and healing nature of yoga. After two years of serious practice, Checka traveled to Costa Rica to complete her 200-hour Yoga Alliance certification with Jacqueline Heisel of Frog Lotus Yoga (based in North Adams, MA). Her travels then led her to extended stays in Denali, AK and South Lake Tahoe, CA; she taught her first classes in these beautiful places and knew, joyfully, that she had found her true calling. Checka returned to the Boston area in June 2008 and has been teaching full-time ever since. With a sincere belief that yoga can enrich the life of each and every individual, Checka is passionate about sharing this practice with others.
For adults, Checka teaches an upbeat Vinyasa Flow class with an energetic balance between strengthening and stretching. Moments of challenge and intensity are woven together with times of deep relaxation to keep yogis curious, engaged, and full of breath! Uplifting music accompanies the flow.
Checka's children's classes, camps and summer programs include poses, breathing exercises, and group activities to help young yogis build strength and confidence along with mind-body awareness and relaxation skills. Checka is so grateful to work closely with children’s yoga pioneer Shakta Kaur Khalsa, founder of the international Radiant Child Yoga Program (www.childrensyoga.com), and honored to be one of 20 facilitators worldwide of Radiant Child Yoga teacher trainings. Please see www.checkayoga.com for more info about Checka's class and training schedule.
Checka has completed additional training with Boston area teacher Alice Senko and YogaThree founders Chanel Luck, Bonnie Argo, and Roberto Lim (www.yogathree.com). She continues to be gratefully inspired by the guidance of her yoga mentors as well as the lessons she learns from her students each and every day!"
