Mo has always found inspiration in stepping out of the flow of life to participate in spiritual and yoga retreats. She started leading retreats in 2025 and most recently was a presenter at an international retreat in Costa Rica. She is preparing to lead Gentle Yoga with weights and participated in a 14-week advanced Yoga Philosophy course at YCC.

What have you learned or how have you grown since becoming a YCC instructor?  

Mo found her path of teaching yoga midway through life after she got lost in a caregiver role. Pivoting away from an IT career, the layers of yoga unfurled as a resource, a respite, a renewal, a remembering, a focus that joyfully called her back to her body as home base. Mo is motivated to share yoga with caregivers of all kinds to honor and prioritize ourselves, to beckon us back to being playful and present. 

What to expect in class: Mo loves finding the throughline amongst ancient energy practices. The body’s energies are a coordinated constellation that moves in patterns that correspond with the body’s structure. Healthy energy habits can be reinforced and harmful ones repatterned: and this support and repatterning are much of what Mo focuses on in her classes and workshops to increase coherence in our energy and, with it, coherence to our mental, emotional, relational lives.

Mo has been teaching with the Yoga Center of Columbia for seven years, and practicing for nine years. She values the YCC community as a place of belonging and acceptance; a place to keep learning and expanding; a place to deepen understanding of herself and have company on the path.
