I like to joke that I started my yoga path in a teaching role. During graduate school, a friend asked me to guide him through a yoga practice following direction from a book. I’m not sure how well I taught, but I was intrigued enough to borrow the book and begin my own practice. I soon recognized that yoga is not just about the physical body. Yoga supported me through bouts of depression and anxiety, helping me feel grounded and balanced. When I became pregnant with my first child, I started taking prenatal yoga classes and practiced nearly every day. I knew someday I wanted to give to others all the wonderful gifts I received from my own teachers. I knew my 200-hour yoga teaching certificate was just the tip of the iceberg. I’ve taken hundreds of additional hours of advanced training and integrated my learning into thousands of classes, several workshops and trainings, and a number of retreats. My teaching style is best described as a breath-centric slow flow focused on individual sensation. Integrating some longer-held postures to build strength, stability and stillness of mind allows for alignment cues and time for students to notice energetic shifts. I like to incorporate yoga philosophy, mantra and/or mudras into each class that I teach. Most often, I teach all-levels classes — i.e., teachers, beginners and just about every level in between. My intent is that every student—regardless of age, fitness level or experience—finds something in the practice that speaks to their current needs. “I am still a teacher, still a writer, always a student and forever an adventurer.” (Photo by Robin Clark) https://www.hillaryeasom.com/book-a-class daily 0.75 2025-04-14 https://www.hillaryeasom.com/events daily 0.75 2026-04-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f136945472d09271c8d68e5/1595204280196-LX3LL52V53A16O6IFPT3/Crow+from+Side.jpg Workshops + Retreats - Yoga Workshops Workshops allow students to delve deeper into a specific topic — whether it’s dissecting a physical posture, examining a particular theme or spending time exploring another modality in conjunction with a yoga practice. Hillary periodically schedules workshops like those below and is happy to develop new programs based on students’ interests. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f136945472d09271c8d68e5/1595183945547-56WGR181FJYRHK4IXXGW/Galapagos%252B2017.jpg Workshops + Retreats https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f136945472d09271c8d68e5/1595183907718-HXFD3CI01AIGW80H8KQL/DSC_0722-1024x683.jpg Workshops + Retreats https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f136945472d09271c8d68e5/1595183873951-ZDZGHIQACU1DK8FJVZS0/8572F820-A01C-4108-807F-189097EDC3D8-1024x711.jpg Workshops + Retreats https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f136945472d09271c8d68e5/1595131645694-I9ZI7YTS9NPEQZTNDV9U/JWH_6712.jpg Workshops + Retreats - Baja, Mexico March 2020 (7 days/6 nights) In partnership with Blue Turtle Sustainable, we supported turtle research while soaking in the most gorgeous sunrises, practicing yoga twice daily, walking the beach, hiking in the desert, exploring tide pools, swimming with whale sharks, and visiting a local artisanal fish camp to learn about sustainability practices. The week focused on integrating the philosophy of Blue Mind into our yoga practice on and off the mat. I won’t mention how much we enjoyed the food. Don’t worry: We’re going to do this one again!

In addition to practicing yoga in stunning locations, we cooked with a tagine, sipped mint tea, learned about argan oil products, took a surfing lesson, and stared in awe at the gorgeous architecture and all the beautiful colors throughout this country.
