Meet Abbey
Abbey believes that yoga is a homecoming to her true self.
As a dedicated athlete for most of her life, she openly expresses the healing power she discovered in the path of yoga and meditation while struggling with her own mental health and disconnection between mind and body. Abbey strives to create this safe space for others to explore deepening their connection to themselves and their bodies as these practices have become foundational in her personal recovery from an eating disorder.
Upon entering Abbey’s class one will quickly notice her calm, friendly and compassionate domineer that causes students of all levels to not just feel welcomed but celebrated. She stands firmly in the belief that yoga is for everyBODY. She has obtained a 500hr Registered Yoga Teacher level of certification recognized by Yoga Alliance upon traveling to Costa Rica in 2019 to complete her 200hr certificate and in 2021 to Mexico where she completed her 300hr training. Abbey became a certified Meditation instructor in 2020 and is trained additionally in mindfulness as well as Yin yoga and Yoga for Eating Disorder Recovery. Her most recent credentials are as an Ayurvedic Yoga Specialist in which she obtained in 2021, in Costa Rica. Abbey offers the wisdom of Ayurveda through workshops and in one to one Ayurvedic yoga sessions for healing and balance.
As an instructor Abbey celebrates the uniqueness of all individuals and even in her athletic-moving Vinyassa classes she prides herself in offering modifications that make her classes accessible and encouraging to all. Students of Abbey are welcomed into their own yoga journey that meets them where they are at as she believes there is no such thing as a “one size fits all” approach when it comes to yoga and transformation.
A desiring yogi may be guided by Abbey by attending public or private group classes or in one-to-one private practice sessions for a customizable approach based on the student’s goals. Special groups Abbey has worked with in the past include competitive and varsity sports teams and athletes, corporate wellness, eating disorder recovery groups and school-aged youth.
