Celeste first began practicing yoga in 1992 and has been a certified Kripalu Yoga instructor since 1997. She was certified to teach prenatal yoga and trained with ALACE to be a birth doula in 2002. Celeste is passionate about pregnancy and birth and loves to work with women and couples, using yoga to help them embrace the transformational experience of pregnancy, childbirth and parenthood. In 2006, Celeste discovered Itsy Bitsy Yoga and has been loving teaching yoga to children from birth to age four ever since. She incorporates IBY into her Mom and Baby yoga classes. In her spare time she enjoys dancing, chanting, spending time in nature and with friends and snuggling with her beloved cat.

What is Celeste's Class Like?
Celeste's classes are shaped by her training in Kripalu Yoga, Birthing from Within childbirth preparation, and her work as a birth doula. Her classes are a creative blend of yoga and rhythmic movement to build strength, stretch tight muscles and create openess/space in the body. She emphasizes maintaining spinal alignment and developing core strength. She also focuses on using breath and sound to energize and release stress. Celeste particularly enjoys supporting women in bonding with their babies during class and creating community through group sharing and partnered yoga. Participants report feeling deep relaxed and renewed at the end of Celeste's classes.
