Ayla Harrison received her undergraduate degree from Hebrew University in Jerusalem in clinical nutrition, and worked as a clinical dietitian for five years in Atlanta. She has practiced yoga for 23 years, and since 1990, has taught yoga in Georgia and Israel. Ayla has studied extensively with Martin and Margaret Pierce in Atlanta. In 1998, she traveled to India to study with T.K.V. Desikachar and has continued to study with him in the United States. Ayla has also continued her study of yoga and chanting with Sonia Nelson in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Teaching in the tradition of Krishnamacharya and Desikacher, Ayla personalizes her instruction by integrating the progressive development of yoga postures, focused breathing patterns, and

meditation. Ayla has worked at the Pierce Program since 1990 where, in addition to teaching beginning, intermediate and advanced yoga classes, she teaches prenatal and post partum yoga classes, and workshops focusing on labor and delivery, yoga with sound, and vedic chanting. Ayla has taught at Emory University in the HPED Department since 1999, and in the Business School since 2003.
