Nisreen Azar, Yoga Instructor

I grew up in Edmonds, WA and have been a yoga practitioner for most of my adult life. I reconfirmed the benefits of yoga while pregnant with my daughter and while practicing postnatal yoga after her birth in 2018. The experience of pregnancy, labor and motherhood dynamically shifted everything in life including my personal yoga practice. This inspired me to deepen my practice and complete my 85-hour prenatal yoga teacher training with Colette Crawford (Sri Janani Yoga) and then my 200-hour yoga teacher training with Richard Schachtel (The Center for Yoga of Seattle). I continue to practice with both teachers.

I hold a BA in Studio Art from Scripps College and a MLA in Landscape Architecture from Cal Poly Pomona. My formal training in Studio Art and Landscape Architecture led me to work in the fields of ecological landscape design and restoration. Both disciplines of yoga and ecological design deepen my connection with Mother Earth, who nurtures and supports all life. Motherhood is one of my greatest joys. I am dedicated to support and empower women on their unique journey into birth and motherhood.
