YOGA INSTRUCTOR, Mom to Connor + Millie

Caitlyn is a 200 hour registered yoga teacher with over 5 years of teaching experience. She first welcomed the practice of yoga into her life over 10 years ago. Initially for Caitlyn, yoga was strictly a form of physical exercise that she enjoyed doing. With time and energy her practice began to evolve. She began noticing a positive effect from her yoga in not only her physical body, but also in her mind and in her attitude towards life. This mindful practice has helped Caitlyn lessen her general anxiety as well as cope with postpartum anxiety.

In 2016 she traveled to Bali, Indonesia where she spent a month working towards her 200 hour teacher training certificate, specifically focusing on Ashtanga yoga.

Once she returned from Bali, she immediately began to immerse herself into a more yoga oriented lifestyle, quickly discovering that she had a passion for teaching yoga.

Off the mat, Caitlyn is married to her high school sweetheart, Nate and is a Mom to their son Connor and daughter Millie. You can often catch her and her family at the beach, taking walks and traveling as much as possible!

Caitlyn’s goal is to share the love, light and community of yoga to her students and fellow yogis.
