Lucy is an advocate for wellness and personal empowerment, and brings this focus to her yoga practice and teaching. She received her 200h yoga teaching certification in 2021 through Scarborough Yoga in vinyasa flow and yin yoga styles, studying with Robin Ivy Payton and Andrea Gleason. Lucy has a background in biomedical sciences, and received her doctorate in cell and molecular biology of health and disease.
Lucy has over twenty years of experience studying the physical and spiritual way of the Japanese traditional martial arts, and combines this understanding with practice as a yogi since 2014. She finds joy and challenge in her roles as an academic educator and mentor, facilitator of self-protection programs for women and girls, and as a yoga instructor. Lucy describes the benefits of her yoga practice as a “sustainable, rigorous, and balancing path towards self-awareness”. She is a lifelong learner, and seeks to discover and guide the integration of physical, mental, and emotional strengths within herself and her students. She welcomes diversity of experiences and perspectives as a way to build a stronger community.
