About Izzie

Yoga Instructor, Newburgh Yoga Shala

Student to Teacher Journey

Izzie is certified in 75-hour Jivamukti Spiritual Warrior Training, studying with HaChi Yu and Claudia Debs in 2025 at Ananda Ashram. She discovered yoga at a young age, as an attempt to avoid high school gym class, and stayed for the dharma. She has been a practitioner of Jivamukti method for over 10 years, originally discovering the method under the teachings of Jeffery Scios in New Jersey. Through multiple moves across America, she has been humbled as a student of diverse practices. Ultimately she is guided by her love for the study of yoga philosophy which is central to her practice. As a teacher, she is passionate about access to yoga and healing for all. 

Teaching style and influence:
Izzie is influenced by mantra study, nervous system regulation through coordinated movement, and the wisdom of Jivamukti Yoga. True to lineage, she offers hands-on assistance and infuses the 5 tenets of the Jivamukti Method: Ahimsa, Bhakti, Dhyana, Nada, Shastra. As groundbreaking as it is, she believes in the possibility of living liberated, and the ethical practices of yoga as a guidebook to life. 

Additional interests:

Izzie is also an occupational therapist, with a deep understanding of human anatomy and body mechanics to promote daily functioning. She works with mental health, chronic pain, nervous system disorders, neurological conditions, and adaptive equipment. Her doctoral level study in the field is now inseparable from her world perspective. Outside of this, she cares for her beloved family, travels the great outdoors, curls up with a good book, and keeps coming home to the Self.
