Molly Bryn, Neighbor

Molly's lifelong passion for expressive movement has propelled her forward each day with an abundance of curiosity. After years of dance, gymnastics and competitive running, it was only a matter of time before Molly discovered the lasting benefits of Yoga and HoopDance.

YOGA

Molly found Yoga while studying at Simmons College in Boston and has explored a variety of styles for over 7 years. In 2012, Molly took a momentous journey to the jungles of Costa Rica where she practiced yoga twice a day surrounded by a beautifully intensive group of Yogis. Molly returned home committed to her practice and enrolled in the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with Megan Lutz. Molly graduated from Peaceful Way Wellness in Woodbury, CT in August 2014 and is a RYT-200 with the Yoga Alliance, certified in classical Hatha and Vinyasa Flow yoga.

Molly approaches her classes with a focus on accessibility to ensure that every attendee can participate and experience the same connective bliss that attracted Molly to her own practice. She strives to awaken her students “stellar selves” by encouraging new possibility in balance, flexibility, strength and focus.

HOOP

Molly never imagined that in her mid-twenties she would find her greatest joy inside the circle of a childhood toy.

Over time, Molly has reaped both the physical and emotional benefits of Hula-Hooping. It was through HoopFit and HoopDance that Molly gained confidence in her body, reconnected with her love for dance and experienced personal empowerment.

In 2012, Molly began training with Alex Dilling of Beat City Hoops in Hoopnotica CardioFit. She then attended classes with Matt Cullen at the Hartford Arts Center to explore more advanced tricks, both on and off body. Most recently, Molly practices with Steph Walsh at Just Flow Fun, where she is able to deepen her hoop skills through detailed choreography.

Molly is a Hoopnotica Certified Hula Hoop Instructor after completing an intensive program with Master Trainer, Kat Suwalski of WildKatHoops.
