Dawn McNulty

Dawn McNulty is a 200-hour RYT with Yoga Alliance and started practicing yoga in 2012. Dawn initially found her way to a yoga mat to address functional hip and back issues that were unresolved following two reconstructive hip surgeries.  Her regular practice helps her maintain strength, stability, and flexibility.  In 2017, Dawn and her husband Tom, lost their middle child, Madeleine, to a seizure.  Following this tremendous loss, Dawn found that yoga gifted her one hour of the day to “lay down her grief” AND it gave her the strength to pick it back up again and to find renewed joy in life.  Her passion is to help others find peace in their minds, peace in their words, and peace in their hearts through yoga. Her goal is to welcome everyone to the mat so they may find balance, stability and flexibility in both body and mind.  Keenly focused on helping people maintain functional movement throughout their lives Dawn aims to meet every student exactly where they are in their yoga journey.

Dawn teaches vinyasa yoga with an emphasis on connecting breath to movement with intention, encouraging the cultivation of a balance in mind and body. All experience levels are welcome as Dawn cues a variety of options within poses.  Her classes will help you develop strength, mobility, and flexibility both inside and out, moving you ever closer to greater balance and well-being. Dawn has been teaching yoga since completing her 200 hr YTT in 2022 At Soul Flo Yoga in Plainfield, IL after transitioning from a career as an academic advisor, career coach and leadership development instructor. She has been influenced by teachers at Soul Flo and from studios in Champaign-Urbana; the North Chicago Suburbs; Nashville, TN; and Malmo, Sweden.

Raised in Sterling, IL, Dawn holds degrees from NIU in Sociology (BA) and Miami University in Student Affairs and Higher Education (MS Ed). She and her husband, Tom are the parents of 2 surviving adult children. They moved to Plainfield in 2022 with 3 their Hungarian Vizslas following 25 years of professional relocations between the US and Europe.
