Paris began a very casual yoga practice roughly 20 years ago while playing soccer, field hockey, lacrosse and swimming, in college. Having participated in high-level competition throughout childhood and young adulthood, Paris was quickly drawn to the non-competitive yet powerful and vigorous nature of the practice. Interested in examining all aspects of yoga (including those beyond asana), Paris became a certified and registered yoga teacher (RYT200) through Hot Asana University with Virginia Gallagher and Angela Tara Hsu in January 2016, finding an avenue to assist others in finding contentment, physical wellness, and mind-body awareness. She is passionate about guiding others in their practice, as they tap into strength they often never knew existed, and is truly honored to be a part of that transformation. Her personal yoga practice focuses on alignment, creative vinyasas and inversions. Her classes are suited for all yoga practice levels- from beginners to advanced practitioners. Paris’ other interests include her clinical research career from which she has taken a brief hiatus, her wonderful children and loving husband.
