Victor Cotto is a New York City based vinyasa Yoga teacher and Occupational Therapy practitioner. For over 15-years he has served students (from pre-k to high-school aged), adults and geriatric clients who have or are at risk for developing an illness, injury, disease, disorder, condition, impairment, disability, activity limitation, or participation restrictions at schools, hospitals and private settings as a clinician.
His life as a therapist - with an extensive background in anatomy, physiology and kinesiology - while working with a diversity of clients of all ages and from all walks of life has molded him into the yoga instructor he is today.
Victor's first ever yoga class was at The Yoga Room (Astoria, NYC) in 2010. He has since been a work-study there and a eventual graduate of their 200-Hour Vinyasa Teacher Training Program (Hanuman's Tale).
Guided by Marko Galjasevic, Victoria Greene, Juliana Mitchell, Eddie Teboul, Tzahi Moskovitz and Nil Akin, Victor feels blessed and immensely proud to say that he was touched by each one of those wonderful teachers in so many ways on and off the mat.
Just like his own life, Victor loves to see his students have fun through their moving meditation, honor the importance of breath during asana practice and break through real or perceived limitations one may have.
As one of his teachers - Julianna - would say, "I thank my teachers, and their teacher, and their teacher's teachers…."

It's not about how the pose looks like on the outside, but realizing how it makes you feel on the inside.
