Cassie Gruenstein

Cassie has been studying, practicing, and performing in the movement arts and yoga for two decades.

A dancer with deep expertise in form and flow, she performed in the Burning Man Fire Conclave from 2002 - 2005, and is practiced in a variety of forms, including modern, latin, hip hop, and bhangra. Connection is one of Cassie’s core values, and she embodies it through building community and teaching yoga. She completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training in June 2022. She teaches hatha, vinyasa, yin, and restorative in the context of both mindfulness and somatic practices. She works to honor yoga’s roots, incorporating supportive aspects of zen and insight meditation practices, and lived experience as a power and privilege trainer and nonprofit consultant into her teaching. She has a passion for participating in and creating spaces for yoga asana practice that are grounded in equity, accessibility, safety, and joy.
