A born seeker, Aimée found yoga and meditation while still in high school. Through study and living in the ashram of Gurumayi Chidvilasananda, she met her two most significant mentors: John Friend and Douglas Brooks. That precise pairing of exacting asana and influential philosophy defines Aimée’s style of yoga teaching and it is what she tries to bring to every class she teaches. Using inspiring teachings encountered from life & yoga lore or philosophy as themes, Aimée works hard to weave movement and words, guiding students through the practice and at the same time guiding people within themselves. She deeply wants students to know that there is nothing confronting any of us that we can’t shift in significant ways by skillfully using our thoughts, our bodies, and our Hearts to effect change. In addition to her love of teaching yoga and meditation, Aimée’s other favorite vocation is being a mom to her 5 year old son Maxwell. She also loves sushi, cooking, the ocean, reading, philosophy, and the company of her incredibly supportive family and friends.
