Hello! I’m Grace (she/her), a yoga, meditation, and breathwork instructor, Reiki master practitioner, and marketing/sales professional based in Asheville, NC.
My journey with movement began at the age of three through dance, and by fifteen, I discovered my passion for holding space for others to move creatively while assisting children's dance classes. I became a 200-hour RYT at 18 and have been teaching yoga in a variety of settings ever since. With lived experience in eating disorder recovery, I am deeply committed to fostering a compassionate and inclusive environment where every participant feels empowered to cultivate self-respect and a deeper connection with their body.
In 2019, I incorporated Yoga With Grace, LLC, marrying my passions for yoga and business. Over the past six years, I’ve gained hands-on experience in business operations, recruiting and managing external partners, multimedia marketing strategy, sales, and navigating contracts and business law. I am particularly passionate about trauma-informed business practices and integrating mindfulness into professional spaces to create more ethical, sustainable, and community-centered businesses.
My training includes a 200-hour LifePower Yoga Teacher Training (2018), Jennifer Kreatsoulas’ Yoga for Eating Disorders Teacher Training and Mentoring Group (2023), and Oxygen Advantage’s Advanced Training with Tiger Bye (2024), a 200-hour Yoga Teacher training from Asheville Yoga Center, and a 300-hour yoga teacher training from Asheville Yoga Center, where I continue deepening my knowledge and practice.
Off the mat, you can find me practicing aerial arts, spending time in nature, climbing, dancing, petting pugs, and eating sourdough bread.
