YOGI BIO
With a background deeply rooted in dance, Mackenzie discovered her passion for teaching early in her career but decided to expand and diversify her offerings. Recognizing the transformative power of yoga, she delved into its principles and philosophy, becoming a certified instructor under the direction of Gabrielle Sulk.
Upon the completion of her 200 HR certification, Mackenzie began her teaching journey in Annapolis, MD where she had the opportunity to teach at Prana studio for three years before moving to New York City. Upon completion of her SUP Yoga certification, she was able to take her passion for instruction and movement to the water. Her new certification was especially helpful at Elizabeth Seton High School where she headed up the dance program. It was then that she was able to work with championship winning athletic teams at the school in the capacity of team bonding, cross training and mindfulness practices.
