She was introduced to Siddha yoga when she was 15 and began to practice meditation and yoga at that age. She has always been on a search for something, for something meaningful in her life. This search got her traveling all over the world to many interesting places, meeting interesting people and learning about many interesting philosophies… Always challenging but never boring. She has come to discover that this is what life is about….' a never ending journey'. In her reality the meaning of life is being discovered through service to others. Meditation has helped her discover her path. Since 2007 She has been practicing Primordial Sound Meditation, because of the detailed instructions she received and the guidance in understanding the deeper purpose of this practice she has been able to embrace it fully. This transformational experience has allowed her to see life in a very different way. Her desire is to share this passion she has for life through her daily practices.

Courtney has taught at studios, fitness clubs, businesses, schools, parks and homes, and these eclectic locations and her experiences with a broad range of students have helped her develop her own style of Yoga, Siddhi Urban Yoga.

Courtney’s classes blend classical training with Anusara and Jivamukti influences. Through proper spinal alignment, movement through breath, simple hands-on adjustments and playful heart opening, Courtney has created a dynamic and unique style of Yoga that is accessible, spiritual and fun for students of all levels. From first timers through advanced Yogis, Courtney will inspire you to laugh, play and follow your breath into bliss!
