Hi! I'm Dawn

I am a yoga teacher with a deep desire to share this beautiful, healing practice with others.

My Yoga Journey

After discovering and loving yoga in my early 20’s, I took a 30 year break from my practice. Why? Well, because of the usual suspects: I was busy going to school, raising my daughter, and starting and maintaining my career. 

I rediscovered yoga at the age of 52 and in this discovery, I found a powerful practice that I didn’t know my life was missing.  In a nutshell, my yoga practice made me feel good! 

Dedicating myself to my (almost) daily practice has allowed me to feel more like me again. I am able to move better (fetching dog toys from under the couch isn’t so hard anymore!), think better (more clarity, less scattered), and generally feel better in my own skin walking  through life. 

I feel good in my body, in my mind, and in my soul.

As I committed to my daily practice, I began to realize that this was something I wanted to share with others. This was the point at which I felt drawn to become a yoga teacher.  I earned my teacher training certificate at the Soma Yoga Institute in Arcata, California. I really loved and appreciated the therapeutic lens through which they structured their training.

My personal mission in teaching yoga is to provide space for all people to explore the bountiful gifts that yoga can offer to each and every one of us.

I believe that practicing yoga allows us to thrive and flourish, to be strong and resilient, and to lead our lives with more compassion, mindfulness, and authenticity.

I strive to share yoga with others by making yoga inclusive and accessible in an alignment-focused, gentle, and nourishing way.

Why do I teach mostly live online classes?

Well, I know how easy it is to say I’ll watch a fabulous, pre-recorded class… I also know how hard it is to make myself actually do it – even if I’ve paid for it! And with a busy schedule, it can be hard to make it into the studio.   

One of the keys to my own yoga practice success was taking regularly scheduled, live online classes.  Registering for the class and knowing the teacher was expecting me to show up helped me commit and show up for myself!

I hope this works for you, too!

My style of teaching is authentic to who I am. You will find my classes to be supportive, on the gentle side (still with a good workout, though!), and riddled with human-ness: I am not perfect, I sometimes (often) confuse my right and left, you may see or hear one of my cats or the dog, I laugh at myself (but never at you), and I can’t do all the yoga poses in the world.

When you take one of my classes you will know that you are in a community of other like-minded yogis who are doing their best to show up and keep it real!
