About The Teacher

For Haley, yoga epitomizes the delicate equilibrium between movement and stillness, cultivating a heightened sense of awareness. Consequently, her classes seamlessly blend the dynamic forces of Yin and Yang. Specializing in Vinyasa, Yin, and Restorative yoga, she also infuses sessions with transformative elements such as sound healing, essential oils, and Reiki.
