Yael Castro

Yael began her journey as a fitness instructor at just 16, with a passion for movement that started in childhood. She participated in nearly every sport you can imagine but found her passion in dance. After a debilitating back injury, Yael turned to yoga as part of her healing process. Now, her classes emphasize proper alignment and injury prevention. She understands the importance of balancing slow, mindful movement with a more active practice, ensuring that each class offers a rewarding challenge for both beginners and advanced practitioners alike. When she’s not teaching, Yael enjoys spending time outdoors, especially with her dog, Ziggy! In addition to being a fitness instructor, she’s also an herbalist and birth doula, creating nurturing and supportive environments. Yael believes movement is medicine—and that showing up just as you are is more than enough. She can’t wait to see you in class to move and groove!
