find your inner sunshine
through trauma-sensitive yoga
serving Summit County Colorado and Front Range
hello!
my name is Summer
Based in Colorado I am a former high school teacher and service industry professional turned yoga teacher. Many moons ago I embarked on an adventure to Costa Rica. Where I stayed for three months and graduated with my 200 RYT certification. I have been teaching yoga ever since!
Yoga has become my own form of therapy and has been a healing journey. It has brought me home to my body, sparked my creativity, and warmed my heart. On top of that, it has allowed me to recognize my anxious and fearful tendencies, see and let go of past traumas and ultimately taught me how to view myself through a lens of compassion.
Because of my own experiences and how yoga has helped me, I utilize trauma-sensitive yoga in my classes, it is an approach to yoga that prioritizes creating a safe and empowering environment for individuals who have experienced trauma, emphasizing choice, mindfulness, and sensory awareness. It aims to help participants reconnect with their bodies, reduce trauma-related symptoms, and promote healing through modified and consent-based yoga practices.
​
Being someone who has always been in a profession that serves people I have learned that I love connecting, forming community and being a helping hand to those in need. I have always said that my superpower is my empathy for others and you will find that deeply rooted in my yoga classes.
​
My purpose: I want to make a difference in the world by spreading love and helping people find and recognize their inner sunshine.
