Cassie has been teaching yoga since 2016. She received her 200 hour teaching certificate through CorePower Yoga. After teaching power vinyasa for several years, she wanted to dive deeper into the system of yoga and completed her 500 hour advanced teaching certificate with Wild Abundant Life in 2020. 

 

Many certifications and teaching experiences later, Cassie enrolled in Breathing Deeply Yoga Therapy School. She received her yoga therapist certification in 2025.

 

Cassie’s dharma (her life mission) is to help other living creatures remove obstacles and reduce suffering so they may experience deep connection to self, leading to inner peace and liberation. She believes ALL humans can benefit physically, mentally and spiritually from the practice of yoga and mindfully works to make this practice accessible to all who seek it.

 

She has taught yoga to children, teens, seniors, and the incarcerated. She has worked with individuals suffering from anxiety and grief. She had led corporate classes, youth sports teams and international and domestic yoga retreats. 

 

When not teaching, Cassie enjoys all things outdoors: hiking, biking, paddle boarding and gardening. She is a regular volunteer for Prison Yoga Chicago, the pet therapy program at Hinsdale Humane Society and Youth Outlook, a nonprofit organization supporting LGBTQ+ youth.

 

Cassie lives in Elmhurst, Illinois, with her husband, two cats and golden retriever. Her three grown children have recently left the nest and she is adjusting to this new phase of life.
