Cassidy Pierce
Hello my name is Cassidy.
Three words to describe me are passionate, grounded, and motivated.
When I’m not teaching yoga I'm running in the hills, reading, talking about the books I'm reading, singing loudly in the car, or cooking yummy food!
My ideal morning is sitting quietly in a comfy chair, reading my book while drinking a cup of jo.
I dream about so much! I'm a dreamer, through and through. To live in a world with less fear and more peace. To grow old with my forever best friend and husband. To raise kids without screens. To live by a river. To own and run my own retreat center one day. I could go on...
I am grateful for the people in my life who had held me and loved me through so many different seasons. I would not, and could not, be who I am without them. I'm also eternally grateful for bread and cheese.
Yoga has taught me about... wow, so much. It feels hard to put it all into words. I'll just leave it at this: yoga has taught me how to listen more and talk less.
I love to teach vinyasa yoga! I am a firm believer that when we practice and engage in the physical act of integrating our body and breath together, it will form us to be more integrated as individuals and as communities.
Three words to describe my teaching style are intentional, strong, and flowwyyyy.
As a teacher, I'm passionate about creating intelligent sequences where people are moving their bodies in a way that feels both safe and empowering. At the same time, I love to make jokes and laugh because sometimes we take yoga so dang seriously! At the end of the day, if I can facilitate a space where people can spend an hour just moving their bodies and taking deeper breaths then I'm a happy camper.
Music you might hear in my class is mostly instrumentals. At the moment, I tend to choose music without lyrics.
My yoga experience: I began yoga in college because I was both an avid runner and was majoring in Ceramics. Needless to say, my body needed some major TLC. That's when I began my own yoga practice and I fell in love immediately. In 2018 I received my RYT 200-hour training in Tulsa, Oklahoma with I AM Yoga. And most recently, I became a certified Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher (TIYT) through Sundara Yoga. So I can seriously nerd out on the neurobiology of yoga if I'm provoked.
I am excited to be a part of the Harmony House community because it feels like home. The people, the space, the way the light comes in through the windows at sunset. Sheesh! What's not to love?
