I came to yoga the way many do — drawn in by the physical practice. But once I arrived on the mat, I understood it was so much more than movement. Yoga became a practice of returning to myself — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I discovered that subtle changes create big shifts.
I completed my first yoga training in 2019 and have never looked back. Since then, I've deepened my practice through studies in meditation, tantra, and sound, and I am currently completing my 300-hour training. I teach Yin, Vinyasa, Gentle, and Restorative yoga — each style an invitation to meet yourself exactly where you are.
Through my own journey of navigating chronic stress, inflammation, fatigue, and hormonal shifts, I found that when we align with the body's natural rhythms, everything changes. This path led me deep into Ayurveda, where I trained as an Ayurvedic counselor, and into the study of circadian rhythms — understanding how and when we use our energy profoundly shapes our sleep, digestion, and overall vitality.
I weave together yoga, Ayurveda, circadian alignment, sound healing, and nervous system regulation into a teaching style that is grounded and embodied.
Each breath is an invitation to return. I'm here to walk that path with you.

Get to know Ivette…
What is a challenge in your own yoga practice?
Finding and trusting my voice — literally. Projecting with confidence took time. More chanting, more practice, and a willingness to keep showing up have helped it evolve into something that finally feels like my own.
What is something you’ve learned about yourself from teaching yoga?
I've realized how deeply I am a student. I love to learn, to grow, and to be in community with others who are on that same path of curiosity and expansion. Teaching didn't make me an expert — it made me a better seeker.
What about teaching lights you up the most?
Witnessing the shift. That moment when you can feel the energy in the room change — when students arrive one way and leave another. That transformation, however subtle, is everything.
