About Yogasemite

Yoga Instructor + Ecotour Guide

Hi, I’m Cassidy. I am a passionate yoga instructor, life coach, and absolute lover of human connection. I thrive on holding safe and sacred space for people to remember their true nature- that they are infinite + magical spirits having a human experience.

I love working with beings that are on the brink of shifting into something incredible, they are ready to open their hearts to change, shedding their limiting beliefs + stepping into their power. It fills my heart to be able to share the gifts of yoga in a variety of capacities through ecotours, retreats & yoga teacher trainings.

My home base is nestled in the mountains near Yosemite National Park, California, USA- living surrounded by nature has deeply impacted my life + inspired me to connect people to the magnificence of Mother Earth as often as I can. I created this small business, Yogasemite, with the hope that it sparks people to awaken their spirit through nature immersion and intentional yoga programs in Yosemite.

Hi, I’m Darcy, a longtime Mariposa local, adventure enthusiast and social butterfly. Growing up in the Sierra sparked my love of wanting to be outside as much as possible. My love for the outdoors and it’s incredible ability to heal your mind and body inspired me to dive into my own personal healing journey. Once I began my healing journey, I found yoga which changed my entire trajectory in life. The next chapter of my life, as a yoga instructor, began after completing my 200 hour YTT through Mariposa’s own-Yogasemite.

As a high energy person by nature, I see yoga as a way to channel that exuberant energy into a practice that cultivates focus and healing. My dream exists where I can share my abundant love for Yosemite and yoga with as many people as possible. Blending adventure and yoga together during our ecotours + retreats satisfies my soul.

Yoga Instructor + Ecotour Guide

Hi, I’m Erin! I have always had a strong connection to moving my body. I was looking for my next sweaty workout when I found yoga. Growing up an athlete and gymnast, I felt a strong connection to the asana or physical postures. After anxiety began to take over me in my late twenties, I had to learn how to sit still. Experiencing life through ADHD, my body and my mind had a hard time slowing down. Incorporating meditation and pranayama daily changed the trajectory and quality of my life.

I believe there is a difference between instructing yoga and being a supportive yogic teacher. I wants to expand the prevalent western impression of yoga as a physical practice. One reserved for “bendy” or “strong” people. For that couldn’t be further from the truth rooted in over 2,000 years of history that began in India. Yoga is for every person, every body and ability. It is my hope to lovingly share the benefits of yoga as a whole while I grow alongside my students. I am honored to practice with you.

Yoga Instructor + Retreat Leader

Hi, I’m Marley- human being, yoga teacher, and lover of life. I work with women struggling with lack of fulfillment and direction by providing the safe space and tools for inward reflection so that they can start walking a path more in line with their true values and desires. I believe the definition of a successful life is not dependent on how much money we’re making, but on how much we enjoy the ways we spend our time and energy, and how heart-centered and connected we are in everything we do.

When I graduated college two years ago, expected to get a PhD because of my top 10% grades, I never could’ve told you where I’d be today. I am living a life I only could’ve dreamt of- creating my own schedule and spending my time doing all the things I love most- yoga, travel, hiking, time with loved ones, time in nature, time connecting deeper to all that is… I’m 24-years-old; and it is safe to say that I am absolutely in love with my life- my present one, as well as the one I’m continuously creating and cultivating for my future self. I’m chasing my bliss and living my Truth; and I want to help you do the same.

Yoga Instructor + Self-Love Guide

Hi, I’m Ashley. I’m a yoga teacher, self-love guide and nature enthusiast living in the mountain town of Mariposa, California. I find joy in the interconnection between humans, the natural world, and the Great Mystery that weaves through all.

I teach grounded and accessible yoga practices that reflect the beauty and wisdom of the natural world. My offerings provide a soft refuge from the striving, action-oriented, external world. I create containers of welcome, spaciousness and slowing down ~ and often include a healthy spark of playfulness.

In addition to the yogic tradition, I also draw inspiration from Zen Buddhism, influenced by my time living and studying at the Tassajara Mountain Zen Center in Big Sur, California. My hope is to support you to truly come home to yourself, so you can engage with life — gracefully and confidently — from your center.
