Rieko Tani Griffin, MSW, LCSW, 200 RYT, CPYT (she/her)
Yoga Teacher, CPYT - certified prenatal yoga teacher, Clinical Social Worker
I have been a student of Yoga for some time. I completed 200 hour Registered Yoga Teacher Training which included trauma sensitive element (2018) and prenatal yoga training with Stacy Broussard (2020) through Urban Breath Yoga Studio. I continue to enjoy various workshops realizing study of Yoga is a journey. Some of those workshops and teaching have influenced me to change the way I serve as a social worker in a medical setting. I am learning to listen more and respond with kindness. I am also learning the value of being a witness. I enjoy sharing benefit of Yoga practice such as relaxation, mindfulness, and physical well-being. I practice with you to create space to be present. I practice with you to cultivate gratitude and compassion especially for our own being.
