Naomi Brenkman
It's Yoga Las Vegas
Naomi was born in Utrecht Holland, where she began her Shorinjikempo martial arts training at the age of 4. By age 6 she focused on dance and later attended the Royal Academy of Ballet in Amsterdam “Scapino Dansamademie” and then graduated from the Academy of Dance in Rotterdam “Rotterdam Dansacademie” with a Teachers Degree in Classical Ballet & Folkloristic Dance with additional specialties in Contemporary, Jazz, Flamenco, Character Dance & Choreography. Naomi has enjoyed an extensive performing career throughout Europe, Canada and the United States. She was resident Choreographer, Dance Captain & Swing for the musical “Miss Saigon,” as well as Dance Captain & Swing for the First International Company of “Elton John & Tim Rice’s Aida” in Holland. She was an original member of the hit recording group “Alice DeeJay,” and was the Associate Fight Director, and Swing for The National Touring production of “Spider-Man Live!”
Naomi is a certified Ashtanga Yoga instructor since 2005. She teaches yoga at Its Yoga & Blue Sky Yoga studios, and has continued her education through various intensive workshops with David Williams, Larry Schultz & Maggie Verderame. Naomi teaches many different classes from beginner to intermediate, and teaches the following series: Full Primary, Modified Primary, Rocket I, Rocket II, Mixed Levels/with poses up to 2nd, 3rd & 4th series, and Dragon Vinyasa.
Shortly after becoming certified instructors Naomi and her husband, Ottavio, created the Dragon Vinyasa system, which combines the ancient techniques of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga with Shorinjikempo & Tai Chi Martial Arts. These classes are designed as a fun and safe way to build lean, strong & flexible muscles. The benefits of this system have proven to increase breath control, energy flow, flexibility, balance, coordination, mental clarity, and focus for many practitioners.
In fact, Naomi & Ottavio use the Dragon Vinyasa system to warm up before each performance of their cabaret act called The Crossbow Tango. In this highly skilled & extremely dangerous routine they demonstrate the ultimate in trust and focus as they shoot cigarettes out of mouth, and playing cards out hand. You don’t have to shoot an arrow near your loved ones head in order to benefit from the DV system, but if it helps their focus and concentration, imagine what it can do for you. Prior experience in yoga or martial arts is not required and these classes are open to all levels; everyone is welcome to attend.
