Meet Courtney

RYT 200

Although Courtney was introduced to yoga at an early age, she truly fell in love with it when she was 18, after years of straining her body and mind with intense weightlifting. Her physical practice soon became a gateway to exploring the other seven limbs of yoga, which have profoundly transformed her physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Since earning her 200-hour certification in 2021 from Yoga Vida in Brooklyn, NY, Courtney has volunteered teaching yoga at women's shelters and mental health agencies, and have taught both children and adults at studios and libraries. The powerful effects she's witnessed in herself and her students inspired her current PhD research on school-based mindfulness interventions to support youth well-being. Each time we practice yoga, we are offered an opportunity for self-discovery and growth. She feels honored to share the gift of yoga with people of all ages and looks forward to seeing you on the mat.
