Courtney has been practicing and teaching yoga and mindfulness for 20+ years. She discovered mindfulness through her teacher Diana when living in Encinitas, CA and it has shaped her life and teaching ever since.
Her yoga training includes Hatha, Ashtanga Vinyasa, Baptiste Yoga, and Yin, with over 700 hours of study in India and Colorado, including her 500 hour YTT certification in Rishikesh, the birthplace of yoga. She brings her years of mindfulness study to every class and holds her MBSR teaching certification from UCSD’s Center for Mindfulness. She is also a certified breathwork instructor through Nordic Flow, specializing in breath training and contrast therapy.
Her classes blend flowing Vinyasa and restorative Yin with mindful awareness. As a teacher at Thrive for two years, and now the owner and caretaker, Courtney is honored to hold space for this community and to help students meet life’s challenges with greater ease.
