Hello! I’m Grace (she/her), AYC’s Yoga Trainings Ambassador.
My journey with movement began at the age of three through dance, and by fifteen, I discovered my passion for holding space for others to move creatively while assisting children’s dance classes. I became a 200-hour RYT at 18 and have been teaching yoga in a variety of settings since. I am deeply committed to fostering a compassionate and inclusive environment where every participant feels empowered to cultivate self-respect and a deeper connection with their body.
In 2019, I incorporated Yoga With Grace, LLC, marrying my passions for yoga and business. Over the past six years, I’ve gained hands-on experience in yoga business operations, recruiting and managing external partners, multimedia marketing strategy, sales, and navigating contracts and business law. I am particularly passionate about trauma-informed business practices and integrating mindfulness into professional spaces to create more ethical, sustainable, and community-centered businesses.
My yoga teacher training includes a 200-hour LifePower Yoga Teacher Training (2018), Dr. Jennifer Kreatsoulas’ Yoga for Eating Disorders Teacher Training and Mentoring Group (2023), several trauma informed yoga trainings (2022, 2023) and Oxygen Advantage’s Advanced Training with Tiger Bye (2024). Currently, I’m enrolled in another 200-hour and 300-hour yoga teacher training programs at Asheville Yoga Center, where I continue deepening my knowledge and practice.
Off the mat, you can find me practicing aerial arts, spending time in nature, climbing, dancing, and eating sourdough bread.
