About the facilitator:
Reba stumbled upon yoga around 2002. She was living in Boston after returning from the Peace Corps in Mali, an experience that taught her about the real power of community. Seeking ways to process her time abroad, and looking for community, she was fortunate to discover both at the Baptiste Power Yoga Institute.
There, Reba practiced and trained for five years, becoming a hands-on alignment assistant in 2007 and completing her 200-hour teacher training in 2009. She also mentored students in hands-on assistant trainings at the school in 2008 and 2009.
She grew up in Maine, but has been obsessed with the California lifestyle from a young age--cue palm trees, Highway 1, beaches. Reba moved to Oakland, California in 2010 to deepen her practice and diversify her yoga studies (and to escape the east coast winters). She mainly teaches alignment-focused vinyasa flow yoga, meditation, and pranayama practices, and yoga for runners. She also enjoys collaborating with the Love Your Brain Foundation, supporting those with traumatic brain injury (TBI) by sharing yoga and meditation practices. Reba is continually participating in advanced trainings and mentorships with many teachers in the Bay Area, and expanding her offerings as her practice evolves.
