The mat is a space for an individual to reconnect with yourself, I am honored to offer myself as a guide.
With gratitude,

People-informed yoga is trauma-informed yoga.
At its heart, this way of teaching and holding space for the whole being affirms that they are already whole without assuming you, as the yoga teacher, know what's best for their body, heart, or soul. Cole strives to do the least amount of harm while cultivating an emphasis on safety and self-empowerment.
A way of providing yoga with awareness that trauma survivors are in the room, and to create a safer space for survivors to practice. The tools cultivated in trauma-informed yoga are supportive for everyone whether they identify as a survivor or not. Trauma-informed yoga is people-informed yoga.
“Cole has been my North Star of sorts for more than ten years. After suffering physical injury and profound loss, I found myself drifting. Her yoga classes anchor me with kindness, welcoming me exactly as I am, and creating a safe place to reconnect with my heart. She seamlessly weaves together intuition and intelligence of the body, a rare and beautiful combination. I leave each class feeling grateful to have been gently reminded of my own resilience.”

My passion is to support everyday people as they safely and playfully step into their own confidence and connect deeply with themselves. My method of choice: yoga. Yoga can empower individuals physically, mentally, and emotionally. And with some curiosity and openness, it can have lasting benefits that run deep.
