Ryan is 500-hour certified yoga instructor with a passion for creating inclusive, welcoming spaces where individuals of all backgrounds can experience the transformative power of yoga. Her yoga journey began as a fitness routine in Atlanta, GA, where she completed her 200-hour training in 2013. She later deepened her practice and skills in the birthplace of yoga, Rishikesh, India, where she earned her 300-hour certification in 2018.
In 2018, Ryan founded The Yoga Studio Atlanta to make yoga more accessible to her community—particularly for those who may not have felt represented or comfortable in traditional yoga spaces. She began with private classes through 2019 and due to the COVID 19 pandemic Ryan’s plans to fully open the studio in 2020 came to an abrupt halt. But as a result of the mental & physical health crisis that arose from the pandemic Ryan felt it was necessary to get the studio open in 2021, so she opened the doors to the public in February 2021 and has been building community ever since then.
Specializing in Vinyasa, Power, Restorative, Beginner, and All-levels yoga flows, as well as guided meditation and pranayama (breathing exercises), and in 2022 she began exploring sound healing as a way to offer a deeper relaxation and inner peace for students that attend her classes. Ryan’s teaching style emphasizes diversity and adaptability, ensuring that students of all ages, body types, ethnicities, and skill levels feel empowered and supported on their mats.
Ryan has experience teaching yoga in a wide variety of settings including retreats, corporate wellness programs, schools and universities, private 1:1 sessions, yoga with children, virtual classes, yoga with inmates/convicted felons/diversion programs, and all sizes of group events in a variety of settings. Her mission is to help students cultivate strength, clarity, and balance—both on and off the mat—while fostering a sense of connection and community.
Whether you’re stepping onto the mat for the first time or are a seasoned practitioner, Ryan is here to guide you with compassion, creativity, and authenticity.
Let’s move, breathe, and grow together!
