The study of Yoga for Yvette spans some 20 years and has lead Yvette all over the world. Originally from Hawaii, she has studied Raja Yoga meditation in Boston and New York for a total of 8 years and on her spiritual path, has traveled to Rajasthan, India on five occasions to deepen her meditation studies.

Her path to yoga progressed with Pilates when she discovered she had scoliosis and she wanted to actively counter the effects a curved spine can have on balance and strength.

Upon moving back to NYC, she found teachers of yoga to be most insightful in creating a single practice combining movement and spiritual philosophy, both of which she had practiced separately. When she moved with her family to Durham, she developed a consistent practice at Blue Point which led her to complete the Om Yoga Teacher Training Program.

When I applied for the teacher training program through Om Yoga, I had no idea that it would be the exactly the kind of yoga I was looking for, a vinyasa style with focus on alignment, precision and mindfulness meditation. If we can invite precision and mindfulness into our practice, it can become an pathway to grow our understanding of the spiritual self, while nourishing our physical bodies. I'm interested in exploring and sharing the clarity, health and vital energy of yoga with others.
