Lilly’s Background + Trainings

Movement has always been a massive part of my life, and growing up as a dancer, I felt most at home in the studio. My journey into yoga began as a teenager in Vero Beach, FL, under the guidance of Shelley Adelle. After completing my 200-hour yoga teacher training with Shelley, I moved to NYC and found a new yoga home with Dana Slamp at Prema Yoga Institute (PYI), where I later earned my IAYT-Yoga Therapist Certification. Throughout my years in NYC, I danced for and toured with Shen Wei Dance Arts, one of the premier international dance companies. During the pandemic, I deepened my studies of mindfulness and Zen Buddhism with Rev. angel Kyodo williams and as of January 2024, I opened my own yoga studio in London called The Space. I am deeply grateful for all my teachers and my teachers’ teachers, who mostly stem from the lineage of Krishnamacharya.
