Desiree Satchitananda

She holds a master’s degree in social work and spent much of her early career working with individuals who make up our most vulnerable populations. She began practicing yoga nine years ago while also finding joy in dancing and running. After being hit by a car several years ago, she went through many hardships, including having to learn how to walk again. During this time she fully committed herself to continue to practice yoga to fully heal her body. From there, the art of meditation entered her life and helped to heal her mind and spirit. Her love of others and understanding that everyone is in need of self-care in some form set her on a path to become a yoga and meditation instructor. She graduated from OM Ananda Yoga, where she earned both her 200 & 500-level yoga teacher certification’s as well as her meditation teacher certification’s for both levels 1 and 2. Filled with the calm and joy that yoga and meditation have brought her, she is grateful to have the opportunity to share that with others regardless of the winding road of life they are on. In her spare time, Gypsy enjoys going from place to place seeing new things, rock hounding, a personal yoga and meditation practice, and spending time outdoors with her soulmate and her service dog.
