Casey is an RYT 200 Registered with Yoga Alliance. She is also an Ayurvedic Lifestyle Consultant, Reiki Master, Sound Healer, Quantum Touch Healer & Creatrix. She had an occasional yoga practice prior to 2016. In 2016 yoga dropped in for her as a serious practice of devotion and also as an addition to her healing modalities. She completed her 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training in December 2017 with Dharma House School of Yoga and is currently on her way to her 500 hour Yoga Teacher Training with Dharma House IIYS. She is grateful to have training from her Yoga Teacher Trainers Christy Harris, Maylo Epperson, & Heather Rama. And she is also grateful to have done study and workshops under Rama Jyoti Vernon & Ray Long. She teaches a yoga practice with mixed levels of flow, yin, restorative, barre, and chair. She believes that yoga should be all inclusive and that yoga is a practice for healing body, mind, & spirit.
In Casey’s spare time she enjoys travelling, being outdoors – camping, hiking, and kayaking (even spending it with her dogs, Rayna & Luna) gardening, hand making malas & fiber wall hangings, massages, offering healing, reading, and maybe one day she will get back into her natural soap & body product making.
