Hayli has been practicing yoga since 1998 and teaching since 2003. She teaches her flow classes in the Vinyasa style, a stimulating and invigorating practice that focuses on moving the body with the breath while allowing students to work at their own ability level. She has studied, and is trained in, traditional Ashtanga and Hatha yoga by Yoga Vidya Gurukul in Nasik, India.  This is where she derives most of her gentle yoga technique from and teaches these classes with the emphasis on maintaining comfortable, relaxing, and steady postures. She also credits Richard Freeman for his guidance in her Ashtanga training as well as Georg Feuerstein with whom she is completing a 3 year study of the history and philosophy of Yoga.  Hayli is a licensed and certified Massage Therapist with her practice on the same floor as the Living Yoga Center.  She also has her MBA through the University of Massachusetts – Amherst and works with her father at Financial Synergy, Inc doing tax accounting and financial planning. Most importantly she has three amazing children and a fabulous husband that are the center of her life.
