About Instructor:
Casey’s intention in life and on the mat is LOVE. Love, compassion and connection for your whole self and others. Creating a supportive atmosphere, her classes encourage the student to connect with and express their own uniqueness – through awareness of body, breath, flow and stillness. She is inspired by yoga’s ability to challenge and nurture through graceful, powerful, dance-like movements and the playful search to find the balance between effort and ease. Spending most of her adult life as a traveling student, Casey has spent her last 6 years in India at Ashrams, studying and teaching yoga on the banks of the Ganges and beaches of Goa, completing a Psychology degree in Israel, visiting healers in Brazil and dancing her way through the music festivals of Europe. Recently settling down in the Bay Area, she is happy to be able to share her practice with this new community! Namaste and Welcome!
