About PJ:

Hi, I’m PJ! I am a RYT-200 teacher with a 300-hour teacher training scheduled in 2026 and several specialty continuing eds on the horizon.

For more than two decades, I’ve turned to yoga as my source of steadiness, softness, and quiet guidance. What began as a personal practice slowly grew into a calling—shaped by years of learning, unlearning, and returning to myself with humility.

Over time, my love for practice grew into a vision: to create a welcoming place where people could breathe deeply, feel supported, and be genuinely seen. From that vision comes the CYC, where I serve as a founder and co-president. Here, our aim is to cultivate a space rooted in connection, compassion, and the simple belief that healing becomes easier when we share it.

Beyond the studio, I am a multi-business entrepreneur, mother, partner and homesteader—roles that keep me grounded in the rhythms of the earth and offer daily lessons in patience, gratitude, and grace.

During business hours, I split my time between UT Cancer Center and the adjoining wellness center to the CYC. There, I offer Reiki, Fa Kung energy healing, and private yoga sessions.

My hope is that through Community Yoga Center, others discover what I’ve found along this life-giving path: a place to soften, to reconnect, and to come home to themselves.
