About PJ:

Hi, I’m PJ! I am a RYT-200 teacher with a 300-hour teacher training scheduled in 2026. Also on the horizon for 2026, are continuing education certifications in prenatal, somatic healing, thai stretch, and trauma-informed yoga modalities, as well as yoga for cancer patients.

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 true 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 co-founder and co-president, and where 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, and farmer—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 Sat Nam Wellness Center which adjoins the CYC. There, I offer Reiki, Fa Kung energy healing, and private yoga sessions. I aim to bring a gentle, steady presence to those I work with, offering moments of quiet grounding paired with intuitive care.

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.

Offerings:

Yawns and Yamas

Class begins with a reading from The Yamas and Niyamas, focusing on one Yama each month and a new excerpt each week. Each Yama will be paired with a featured pose to explore its real-life application through movement and mindset.

Sequencing will remain similar throughout the month to emphasize the chosen theme and deepen understanding. A new Yama or Niyama will be introduced monthly, following the progression of The Yamas and Niyamas by Deborah Adele.
