Summer moved to Taos, NM, from the mountains of Colorado in 2018. In Taos, Summer completed a 200-hr yoga teacher training program with the Svastha Yoga Institute. "Svastha" translates to "returning to the self" meaning an return to optimal health or wellbeing. Honoring this lineage, Summer teaches an asana designed to heal the body and the mind. Her teaching style warmly guides students into a state of focused relaxation by using the breath as a guide to move through a slow mindful practice.
Summer was introduced to yoga in her early teenage years by her mother, Nikole. Together yoga became more than a hobby they shared. This practice connected them to their deepest desires and initiated great transformation in their lives.
Together they created Bliss Bound Yoga Retreats where they share these practices at destination retreat centers around the world. Since then, Summer has deepened her education through a 200 hr meditation teacher training with the Sage Institute. She incorporates this knowledge into her classes through mindfulness exercises and seated meditation.
Summer and her fiancé Travis also create weekly online yoga videos that can be found on YouTube Bliss Bound Yoga. Together they travel exploring national parks and finding remote beaches to film heart-centered yoga classes that are freely accessible to support more people on their healing journey.
