Namaste, I’m Renée — a mother of three, proud grandmother of two, former classroom teacher, and current faculty member with a local teacher preparation program. My journey into yoga has been lifelong, but it took on new purpose and depth through my work in education.

​

Several years ago, I partnered with two local school districts on a grant project aimed at bringing mindfulness into the classroom. That experience opened my eyes to the powerful connection between mindful practices and student well-being, and it inspired me to pursue my 200-hour yoga teacher training. What began as personal growth quickly became part of my professional practice. I now incorporate yoga and mindfulness into my college classes to support future educators in cultivating balance, presence, and resilience.

​

Since then, I’ve expanded my training to include Ayurveda practices, Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Chair Yoga, Yoga for Kids, and one-on-one personal yoga sessions. I’m especially passionate about creating accessible, nurturing spaces for individuals of all ages and backgrounds — whether in the classroom, on the mat, or out in nature.

Tula Bloom Yoga is a reflection of my belief that we all have the ability to breathe, balance, and bloom — exactly where we are.
