About Dawn
Meet Dawn
Hi, my approach to teaching yoga is to be myself, stay in the present, and have fun. I received my 200 YTT at Southwest Institute of the Healing Arts in Tempe AZ, April 2023. I traveled to Barcelona Spain, February 2023 , for my Hot yoga certification , and I stayed home for my certification in Chair Yoga , April 2023. I have been practicing yoga for many years, starting in school, different studios, at home, in the park, on the beach, and now in my studio. Yoga has brought me Peace, Joy, Friendships, and a healthier way of life mentally and physically. I love teaching yoga, sharing what I know and also learning from you. My favorite asana is Kapotasana (Pigeon) and Adho Mika Savanasana (Down-dog). I may teach yoga but I am always a student.

About Kristin
Meet Kristin
Hello, I have been on a healing journey of recovery for multiple years. I especially fell in love with yoga in 2020 as a primary modality of healing due to its ability to help one become more inhabited in their body. As a survivor of trauma, as most humans are, yoga has helped me immensely in connecting to my physical body as well as my Eternal Spirit. I received my 200hr Yoga Teacher Certificate at Sutra Studios in Phoenix, AZ in 2023, Trauma Informed Yoga Outreach Facilitator Certificate through Connection Coalition in Boca Raton, FL in 2023 and Recovery Yoga Certification at Spiritually Fit Co-op in Scottsdale, AZ in 2023.
I love guiding others through practice and I believe everyone’s journey with yoga is deeply personal and highly impactful. In addition to teaching primarily Vinyasa Flow at Joy Bird Yoga, I facilitate recovery yoga at Crossroads Inc. in Mesa and at multiple women’s shelters and transitional homes across the valley. I also facilitate conscious connected group breathwork sessions and trained in sound healing modalities including tuning forks and singing bowls. When not practicing yoga I enjoy learning, spiritual pursuits, traveling, hiking, and spending time with my husband and family.
Sutra 1.14: “Practice becomes firmly grounded when well attended to for a long time, without break, and in all earnestness.
