Hannah is a yoga student and teacher in Santa Cruz, CA. She teaches creative Vinyasa flow yoga classes, with a focus on bhakti, breath, and alignment. Often incorporating the harmonium and mantra during savasana, she invites students to chant at the end of class. She recently started leading Intro to Chanting Workshops and Kirtans.

Growing up playing soccer and ultimate frisbee, she started practicing yoga in 2011. Although her introduction to yoga was for the physical benefits – to prevent injury and improve range of motion –  she found that the connection to mind, body, breath, and spirit kept her coming back to the mat. After completing her first 200-HR Yoga Teacher Training in 2016, she traveled to India to study at the Himalayan Yoga Academy in 2017.

Hannah’s classes provide a place for students of all levels to explore strength, flexibility, and discernment. Yes, part of yoga is the physical aspect – but yoga is also about coming onto your mat, stepping away from the rest of your day, breathing in and out, and practicing presence. One of the ways we can practice yoga is by paying attention to our intentions, and observing what is happening in the mind, body, and spirit – on AND off the mat.

Hannah’s schedule at Pleasure Point is below:

Mixed Flow, Tuesdays from 11:00-12:15pm
