“The moment Abby stepped into the yoga studio, I could sense that she was different from other yoga teachers. When she spoke, there was a sense of underlying power and wisdom that cued me to listen closely and carefully. When she touched, it was with extreme compassion, as well as an anatomical and energetic awareness I had not been exposed to before. Her unique ability to make students feel truly seen and the palpable energy of presence that she exuded had a lasting effect on me. I trust Abby’s intuition completely to guide me towards what will best serve me holistically.
By leading by example, doing her own healing work, and believing in her ability to hold deep transformative space, she has empowered me, and so many others to step into our power.”

““If we are lucky, we know someone on this planet with true empathy. To be in the presence of one like this, who has spent time looking in, doing the work, is to feel the honesty of being seen. If we are uncommonly fortunate, we know an empath who is also a healer. Every once in a while, one of these empathic healers emerges with an unstoppable need to share this power and insight with others. Abby is this person. She leads by example. She encourages and supports her students and friends to engage in this work.”
— Kyle, Washington DC
“The space created by Abby’s classes has become integral to my weekly routine and my physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. I don’t know what I’d do without it.
Abby is also an incredibly adept bodyworker providing therapeutic touch, massage and other modalities not just for relaxation but also for serious physical, mental and emotional wellness. She listens to her clients’ needs, uses a variety of techniques, provides information on what she is finding in the body and tips for continued wellness work off of the massage table. She’s one of the only bodyworkers I trust to fix me up right and make me feel better.”

“Abby is incredibly knowledgeable and insightful and is a remarkably gifted teacher. She treats everyone as a special and unique individual and makes everyone around her feel good. She has a deep understanding of movement and the human body and her classes and her hands are magical.”

“When I first started taking Abby’s classes, I had to be the student in the front, I had to be the student getting into the deepest pose, and above all, I had to be the best. Then Abby set powerful intentions and wove breathing into her sequences. I began to realize that cultivating ease and struggle free movements allowed for a deeper and more meaningful connection with myself. I can directly apply those tools that Abby has carefully, lovingly, and creatively imbedded into her teachings in a way that not only works but has a lasting impact on my life. ”
— Alyson, Washington DC
“Abby’s teaching transformed the way I thought about yoga. Her passion and vast knowledge of the practice show in every class she teaches. Abby was a huge factor in helping me decide to pursue teaching yoga and I attended her teacher training in 2018. Abby’s expertise in anatomy and sequencing as well as the nuances of the business and ethics of teaching yoga, show her true knack as a teacher’s teacher. Abby creates a fun, non-judgmental atmosphere in all her classes and is truly passionate about what she does. ”
— Kelsey, Washington DC
““Abby has an incredible understanding of the muscles and inner movements of the body which make private sessions incredibly informative and was a wonderful way to deepen my own practice. She tailored the lesson to poses I wanted to work on and gave me really helpful ways to access muscles I didn’t even know I had! With the help of her guidance in our private session I was able to work towards balancing poses that had felt out of reach for me and I left feeling much more aware of how my body moves and how I can control it.””
— Renana, Washington DC
“Abby is a bodyworker who listens with her ears, heart, and hands. She uses her knowledge and instincts to create open spaces between muscles, bones, and ligaments. Her intuition and gentle manner energetically transported me to a peaceful and happy place. I anxiously await my next encounter with her!”
