"Abri" Frees

After spending most of my life in the Colorado Springs area, my family and I moved to Castle Rock in July of 2022.After experiencing some unexpected and traumatic events, I sought out help with my mental wellness and was encouraged to find a physical activity that would help with my anxiety and depression. This advice led me to both yoga and meditation.I went on to continue finding my “people” both in massage school at Berkana Institute of Massage Therapy and in the prenatal/postnatal class at Buka Yoga, but sadly my family and I had yet another devastating life event occur. Serendipitously, one of my now dear friends had previously invited me to a cacao ceremony in her home, where I then had a life-changing experience during a guided meditation. These two events led me to sign up for and attend Buka’s Grit & Grace YTT-200 program, in the 2nd cohort, Spring of 2025. I teach with intention and grounding energy and have a heart to hold space for all my students, inviting them to find peaceful balance both on and off their mats.When not teaching yoga, I can be found journeying with clients on their path to healing and wellness via massage therapy, bodywork and grief work through my business AE Frees Wellness, spending time with my husband, Tyler, "fur babies", Kia & Echo, and/or human friends or educating myself more on this thing called life and how to mindfully move through it.Lovingly,Abri
