Celeste began practicing yoga in 1999 and started teaching yoga after having earned her 200-hour Holistic Yoga Teaching Certificate from Pure Prana Yoga Studio in 2011. She became a certified Viniyoga™ teacher in 2015 after completing the American Viniyoga Institute’s 500-hour Viniyoga™ Foundations Program for Teaching and Yoga Therapy. She is currently training to be a Yoga Therapist in the Viniyoga Clinical Applications Program for Yoga Therapy. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Nutrition with a Concentration in Food Science and a Master of Science degree in Food Science.

Celeste considers B.K.S. Iyengar, Gary Kraftsow, and Maria Hamburger to be her most influential yoga teachers. Her teaching style integrates structural alignment in service to each practitioner’s condition with breath-centered movement and mental focus, delivered with clear instruction and an encouraging approach. She offers her students the tools and techniques of yoga so they may actualize their full potential through their individual yoga practices.

Celeste teaches group classes, private lessons, and workshops.
