Austin
Austin is a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy, movement specialist, and yoga instructor who brings a holistic approach to healthcare and wellness. He bridges Western medicine—anatomy, biomechanics, injury prevention, and science—with Eastern practices such as energetics, somatics, mindfulness, and interoception, creating a deeply embodied mind–body connection.
With a background rooted in sports and exercise, Austin was drawn into the field of injury recovery, prevention, and wellness optimization. Through his own journey of healing, he now encourages an embodied approach to life, weaving together mindfulness, yoga, somatics, and movement to reconnect individuals with their innate vitality. His mission centers on anchoring into the body through meditation, breath, and dynamic movement as tools for self-regulation and empowered energy direction.
Austin’s yoga style integrates meditation, breathwork, mobility training, functional fascial movement, neuromuscular stability, body awareness, vinyasa and animal flow, alongside intuitive guidance. Deeply influenced by yogic philosophy, ancient knowledge, and ancestral wisdom, Austin uses breath, kinesiology, and balance to enhance connection—to self and to others—leaving students grounded, regulated, and at ease.
