Hannah was first exposed to yoga in
2001 at a University of Georgia power yoga class, where she ‘went somewhere she
had never been before.’ Curiosity took Hannah on a decade-long journey, where
she explored various forms of yoga and meditation. In the first 7 years or so,
Hannah found herself only partially dedicated to a consistent asana and
spiritual practice, and returned to yoga when needing guidance and balance. In
2007, in the height of studying for doctoral comprehensive exams, she walked
into the CNY Yoga Center, and attended a Dharma Mittra Yoga class with Lorie
Bebber. In that class – a combination of rigorous asana practice with
pranayama, meditation and practical discussions of living an honest,
spiritually-inspired life – Hannah learned what yoga was about – opening up to
– and seeing Yourself. In the last two years, she has discovered the joy of a
consistent practice of the 8-limbed yoga path. In June 2009, Hannah completed
Dharma Mittra’s Life of a Yogi Teacher Training in New York City. She hopes to
serve as an instrument of Sri Dharma Mittra’s simple, transformative teachings.
Hannah's flow classes are known for
being relaxed yet challenging, based on Dharma Mittra's unique yoga tradition
that cultivates a lot of energy through subtle, uplifting practices. Students
describe feeling very much at ease in Hannah’s classes, as she’s nurturing,
kind, thorough, and hands-on. She is very mindful about breaking down poses and
explaining transitions to allow students to constantly improve upon their own
practice. Hannah also works to make the most challenging poses accessible to
everyone on some level. She leads by great example, and leads outreach programs
to bring yoga to resettling refugees through YogaActivist.org.
