Hi there! I’m Raven Welch!

I started practicing yoga in 2002 with my mother and brother at a small community class in my hometown. I initially started this journey to spend more time with my family, but found myself drawn back to the asana practice throughout my primary and university years.

In 2018 I started regularly attending yoga at Verde Organic Body to implement more exercise into my daily life, but that wasn’t what kept me coming back to the classes. My struggle with depression and anxiety was eased with each pranayama practice and session of meditation. I found strength within myself with every muscle and joint I explored and challenged. That is what started me on the trajectory that led me to become a yoga teacher.

I received my 200 hour RYT from Yoga Alliance after completing my training with Viveka Yoga School. My mission is to make yoga accessible to more bodies and minds. I am currently working to expand my knowledge in trauma-informed yoga therapy with Yoga Medicine.
