200hr Yoga Alliance Certified Instructor Newburgh, NY

Hi! 'm Haydee, a certified yoga teacher with roots in the vibrant Upper West Side of NYC and proud of my first-generation Dominican heritage. My yoga journey began over 7 years ago, during which I’ve immersed myself in the practices of breathwork, meditation, and mindfulness. Since becoming certified in 2021, I've developed a deep passion for using yoga to break generational cycles and challenge long-held beliefs.

My passion for nurturing and teaching began early on. Throughout high school, I babysat, watched over my siblings, and volunteered at schools, which gave me invaluable experience in caring for children. From 2010 to 2018, I worked as a teacher's assistant, where I gained further experience, particularly in working with children with developmental delays. I believe that helping children learn tools to regulate their nervous systems is essential, and it's a mission I find deeply rewarding.

At home, I’m blessed to have a wonderful daughter and niece who live with me, and they continue to inspire my journey. Through yoga, I aim to share these tools with others, inspiring them to find their paths to healing, self-discovery, and growth.
