Josie’s (she/her) curiosity of nature and philosophy guided her to the harmonious system of yoga in 2008. She deepened her practice with San Diego based Happy-U Yoga Center’s teacher training in 2015 and has been passionate about sharing the wisdom of yoga since. Her teachings center around the breath and self-love to guide students through a safe and balanced practice, with the ultimate goal of aligning oneself with their very aliveness and wholeness. She believes people are the experts of their bodies and aims to hold space for students to explore their yoga practice with curiosity and compassion. She teaches trauma-informed yoga in a variety of settings including schools, community centers, and yoga studios. She teaches at the E-RYT 200 level and is YACEP certified.

In her free time, Josie loves to read, spend time in nature with her dogs, attend live music shows and dance!
