Hi, I’m Evelyn
Here is a bit about me…
Over the past five years, I’ve taught more than 2,000 hours of yoga, hosted over 100 wellness events, lived on three continents, and wandered through 40+ countries—collecting stories, sunsets, and the occasional questionable street snack along the way. And I poured those passion to those yoga & wellness events for the ones I care and love.
I’m endlessly grateful for the energy that keeps me growing, and for the privilege of creating safe, inspiring spaces where guests can explore, restore, and surprise themselves. In this journey, I’ve witnessed transformations that could fill novels—personal breakthroughs, deep healing, and joy that lingers long after the retreat ends.
This is the energy I bring to every experience I curate—an alchemy of both my passions, tailored to your unique journey.
I’m a 1,000-hour trained, registered yoga teacher, with a love for smart sequencing that improves body function, breathwork calms the nervous system, and blends Rocket & Hatha Vinyasa to recharge and strengthen with Restorative Yin to nourish and soften.
