Yvonne was introduced to Yoga shortly after moving to NYC in 2011. Being a frequent traveler due to her profession as a Singer/Vocal Coach, she was looking for a practice that brought some regularity and felt grounding at the same time. Through the years, as she recognized the transformative and sacred components of yoga, her practice became an integrated and important part of her daily life.
Yvonne holds a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training certification from Joschi Yoga (NYC) and a 300-hour Teacher Training certification from The Shala (NYC). She is also a certified Yoga Nidra teacher through Sacred Sound Yoga (NYC).
Her classes are a creative mix of Ashtanga-inspired vinyasa, breath awareness, yoga philosophy, and meditation. Yvonne is thankful to all her teachers that helped her grow, especially Maria Rubinate, Sherry Russell, and Barbara Verrochi. The Shala community is her home away from home.
