Gillian Desonier-Lewis

Gillian Desonier-Lewis is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance, which acknowledges the completion of a yoga teacher training with a Registered Yoga School (RYS). 

Gillian began her yoga journey in 2017 when she moved to Wooster, Ohio for college. After growing up around yoga and meditation for as long as she can remember (with a mom who has been practicing for 30 years!), she started attending classes in her college town and quickly developed her own passion for the practice. She graduated from the College of Wooster in 2021 with a degree in Environmental Studies, and soon after, moved to Ithaca, NY. There, she has transitioned into teaching yoga and fitness classes as a full-time job, teaching at more than 5 locations in the area!

Gillian views the mat as a space where you can quiet your mind and free your body, and in doing so, find alternatives to the fast-paced, productivity-centric lifestyle. In her classes you can expect a creative flow with ample modifications to help you dial it up, slow it down, and find what feels good. When she is not in the studio, you can find her in the garden, spending time outside, or curling up with a good book!
