Ori Flomin

Ori Flomin began his journey as a dancer, building an international career as a performer and touring artist. As he navigated the physical demands of dance, he sought holistic approaches to sustain his body and mind, leading him to the transformative practices of yoga and shiatsu. This discovery deepened his understanding of the body-mind-spirit connection, shaping a path he has followed for over 25 years.

Ori completed his shiatsu training at the Ohashi Institute in New York City in 2001 and earned his yoga teaching certification from Bhava Yoga in 2003. Since then, he has taught dance, yoga, and shiatsu worldwide at renowned dance schools, professional companies, and international festivals. In the United States, he has been a guest teacher at institutions such as Princeton University, Rutgers, SUNY Purchase, The New School, Barnard College, Sarah Lawrence, and Hofstra. Currently, he is an adjunct professor at NYU Tisch, where he also earned his MFA in Dance in 2018.

Honoring the wisdom and guidance of his teachers, Ori continues to evolve his teaching through ongoing study and personal growth. In response to the rising stress and anxiety following the COVID-19 pandemic, his work has increasingly focused on self-care and the mind-body connection, helping individuals find emotional and physical balance. His movement and shiatsu workshops have been widely embraced internationally, with successful presentations in Austria, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, and France, both in person and online.

At Kripalu, Ori shares his unique fusion of movement, healing, and somatic awareness, inviting participants to reconnect with their bodies, release tension, and cultivate inner harmony.
