Aris brings a nurturing yet playful approach to her classes. She has a trauma informed perspective with a focus on alignment and intention to support clients in cultivating deep awareness and internal balance. She is a 500hr E-RYT Trauma Informed Yoga Educator, 95hr Prenatal, and 60hr Kids Yoga Teacher. She has facilitated multiple 200hr trainings and retreats, previously owned a yoga studio, and traveled as a journalist for Yoga Journal. Aris is also a co-founder of Burning Layers, whose mission is to support frontline professionals with evidence based stress management tools and trauma informed yoga.

Aris came to yoga in 2012 during and after the traumatic experience of her mother’s illness and passing. She was then dysregulated, sick, and desperate to find a way to find balance and heal. Yoga was the one thing that truly supported her in transforming her pain to healing and now has become her purpose. Yoga is her way of life and the practice Aris continues to embrace whether she is cultivating personal clarity or navigating daily life stressors.
