About Thais Menendez

"My mom took me to my first yoga class at age 18, and I've never looked back. I completed my 200-hour training in 2014 with my original teacher in Miami and went on to teach wherever my journey took me--Spain, Washington DC, and now, Los Angeles. For me, yoga has always represented a respite from anxiety or other troubles, whether physical or spiritual, and I became a teacher to share that healing potential of yoga with others. I am also an actress and an educator, and I spend my time off the mat surfing, making Cuban coffee, rollerblading, traveling, cooking for friends, and spreading awareness about issues close to my heart."

Pronouns: she/her

What's an ODD fact about you?

"I was named after a French opera by Jules Massenet, inspired by my grandma's time as a singer in Cuba." 

What's your class style like?

"Take an all-levels flow and add some big smiles, dry humor, and an international playlist & you've got my class! I blend traditional yoga teaching with modern vibes and always offer a theme or thought to guide you through your practice."
