About Abby

Abby’s spiritual journey kicked off at age 15, when her mother brought her to her first yoga class. Since her teens, she has been inspired deeply by the teachings of yoga, and captivated by the inner-workings of the physical, energetic, and emotional bodies. As a long-time yoga practitioner, healer, and energyworker, Abby has a uniquely holistic view of functional anatomy, energetics, and movement that she weaves into her teachings and private sessions. Abby is fascinated by how each individual receives healing, and through her work she gives individuals the tools to lead their most empowered and fulfilled lives.

Abby began teaching yoga in 2008 after completing her first 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Trainings through Forrest Yoga. After that, Abby dove deep and continued with another 200-Hour Training through YogaWorks with Natasha Rizopoulos, and other advanced yoga trainings in Forrest, Rocket, Yin Yoga, and Tias Little’s SATYA teachings. A Teacher's Teacher, Abby has written, created, and taught her own 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training, and is a Guest Instructor for other 200-Hour and 300-Hour Yoga Trainings in topics like energetics & empathing, ethics, languaging & cuing, and holding space. After owning and running her own yoga studio and private bodywork practice in DC for years, Abby migrated to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she now practices and teaches.

Abby attended Massage School in 2010, and is a Licensed and Nationally Certified bodyworker. She has continued to grow her fascination of the body through multiple bodywork trainings across many modalities, including myofascial release, Shiatsu, and Yoga Bodywork. She’s currently particularly inspired by Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy with her teacher Scott Zamurut.

In addition to her work as a healer, Abby also works one-on-one with empaths, healers, and teachers to offer spiritual guidance and mentorship. Outside of her work with yogis, healers, and empaths, Abby is a mom to twin boys, enjoys reading fantasy novels and swimming in hot springs, and snuggling with her cat Sammy.

  • "Abby is the real deal. Her spirit, intent, and touch are the kind that cannot be copied or imitated. Abby's ability to support and challenge is a unique gift. It is this super-human ability to simultaneously hold space for the group, and zero in on the experience of one, that makes the magical experience of learning from her. "

  • “The moment Abby stepped into the yoga studio, I could sense that she was different from other yoga teachers. When she spoke, there was a sense of underlying power and wisdom that cued me to listen closely and carefully. When she touched, it was with extreme compassion, as well as an anatomical and energetic awareness I had not been exposed to before. Her unique ability to make students feel truly seen and the palpable energy of presence that she exuded had a lasting effect on me. I trust Abby’s intuition completely to guide me towards what will best serve me holistically. By leading by example, doing her own healing work, and believing in her ability to hold deep transformative space, she has empowered me, and so many others to step into our power.”

  • “The space created by Abby’s classes has become integral to my weekly routine and my physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. I don’t know what I’d do without it. Abby is also an incredibly adept bodyworker providing therapeutic touch, massage and other modalities not just for relaxation but also for serious physical, mental and emotional wellness. She listens to her clients’ needs, uses a variety of techniques, provides information on what she is finding in the body and tips for continued wellness work off of the massage table. She’s one of the only bodyworkers I trust to fix me up right and make me feel better.”

  • “I have practiced yoga for a few decades now, and I have never met such a well-informed and giving instructor. Not only is Abby generous with her time and energy, she is also incredibly knowledgeable. Thank you!”
