“How you move on your mat is how you move in your life.”

Georgette uses this phrase often to remind her students that the yoga poses are only a very small part of their yoga journey. By encouraging students to think less and feel more, she hopes we can all can learn to look inside, live where we fear to live, and emerge stronger. Her teaching style is fun, encouraging self-acceptance and mindful alignment with the goals of creating internal strength and space for growth.

With Undergraduate degrees in Economics and Psychology, as well as a Masters Degree in Computer Science, Georgette also understands the enormous pressures of corporate life and how vital it is to stay balanced and focused. Her teaching style is fun, encouraging self-acceptance and mindful alignment with the goals of creating internal strength and space for growth.

A lifelong student, Georgette continues her yoga journey studying with teachers of different styles. Certifications include 200+ hour Vinyasa, Rasa Restorative, Yin Yoga, and Yoga for Trauma and Addiction. She has also most recently studied with Eckhart Tolle and Elena Brower, incorporating their wisdom into her yoga classes, corporate wellness workshops, and domestic and international retreats.

“Menla is so breathtakingly gorgeous, situated on an indigenous sacred land where its magnetic field is very strong… I have so many beautiful photos of the campus from my hikes at dawn on the property, mostly photos capturing the sunrise and the light rays shimmering iridescently on various aspects of nature. I took almost a thousand photos in my short stay there! Truly breathtaking! Even capturing the miracle of having a doe and her fawns surrounding me just several feet away from me!”

“Your facilities and location are outstanding for retreats, and the staff are incredibly courteous and helpful. Being in the mountains, wandering along the streams and paths and disconnecting from the business of our daily lives was wonderful. Thank you for creating such a welcoming and warm environment.”
