🧘♀️ I’ve been a certified yoga instructor since 2015. That’s when I did my first yoga teacher training and soon to follow I completed my Trauma-Informed training program.
My journey is a yoga instructor involved teaching for fitness, teaching for healing and teaching for recovery.
💪🏼 Teaching for fitness was all about looking and feeling your best! I taught power yoga and core-based yoga classes to help my clients improve their strength while also being mindful of their unique bodies and any current injuries/discomforts. I taught in several yoga studios, hosted yoga retreats and had several one-on-one clients! I even got to teach at leading my electronic dance medicine set!
♾️ Yoga for healing: the next step of my teaching journey. Due to some of my own personal experiences, I started learning about the direct correlation between health and women’s wombs. I also started learning a lot about trauma-informed care and the nervous system. This work really changed me on a personal and professional level. I started to really understand how the world worked. I started working with women addressing womb health, fertility, pain and we saw significant results in overall mind body health healing.
🧠 Yoga for recovery also came out of left field, as I started to explore my own sobriety journey, I began working at a rehabilitation center, working with boys from juvenile hall in their transition back to “normal life”
I learned so much from my students over the many years of having this job. Because I was the youngest staff member, I was able to connect with these youth 12-17 in a unique way and really understand them as an ally.
I am most definitely still a yoga, instructor, however, I only practice in a private client space and definitely not as much as I used to. I also still volunteer with organizations supporting trafficking victims, those suffering from abuse, high conflict parenting and more.
If you know of an organization that’s looking for volunteer based yoga, please feel free to reach out.🙏🤍
