A gifted teacher and mentor, Vidal Bitton inspires his students with his wisdom, energy, passion, and humor.  Vidal’s 35-plus years of martial arts training, combined with extensive study of yoga and meditation, enable him to create a warm yet focused environment where students of every level feel accepted, encouraged, supported and challenged.
 

Vidal holds fifth degree black belts in Tae Kwon Do, Hapkido and Tai Chi.  His interest in yoga and meditation date back to 1994, when he used yoga and Tai Chi to heal an injury.  Vidal has also studied Kriya yoga (yogic breathing) with John MacAfee.  

A man of many passions, Vidal is also an accomplished chef who won the “Best Chef on the Eastside” award in 1996.  He enjoys incorporating many types of music into his classes, and his love of music inspired Vidal to produce his own CD:  Yochido. The music, like his teaching, flows from his heart. 

Vidal balances the spiritual and physical benefits of yoga to help his students grow,
both in practice and in life.
