Meet The Team

I’m so happy you found me, yogi! My name is Aimee DeRoehn. I’m a longtime Vinyasa flow Teacher, Master Reiki Healer/Teacher, and Intuitive Life/Trauma coach.

Even after 20 yrs of teaching yoga, I still come alive teaching a down dog. I cheer students on like no other. I want you to feel good about yourself- On and off the mat.

Ironically, my own way to yoga didn’t come naturally or easily. I was the last kid picked in gym class, super uncoordinated, awkward, and socially intimidated by group fitness. I thought exercise and fitness might be for everyone BUT me. As a teen, I found a connection to Tae-Kwon-Do, & later, I found “home” in weight training, running, and boxing. Indeed, I struggled with the lat-pulldown bar, but in time squatted 400lbs, aced a speed bag, and ran miles twice daily. Until the day I couldn’t. Life changing events took me down. I felt lost & to overwhelmed to know how to navigate. Far worse, I couldn’t exercise. All that strength and empowerment didn’t seem to match grief, exhaustion, & deep vulnerability. I couldn’t shrug off, bounce back, or bench press my way out of such pain.

Desperate to move and calm my anxious mind, I crawled to a yoga mat. I knew absolutely nothing about it, but I felt slightly better. I kept practicing. I made my mat my discipline, a foundation even as my world kept coming apart. I began to put myself back together inside.

I made yoga a daily practice & eventually, my way back. I didn’t just change physically. I found the strength and courage to go within and examine how yoga could assist PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, and panic. I grieved a lot. I also began coaching myself through each day, wrote myself a guide, read & researched all I could on yoga, long before training and teaching with the best of THE best. My children were my WHY in all of that time, & kept me anchored to a yoga journey of self-healing that gave me access not only to strength, flexibility, but a new narrative. It brought me real healing, broader perspective, self-compassion, deeper insights, and wisdom in what began from only pain.

Through yoga, I came to know genuine joy, hope, and a real belly laugh with my kids at the dinner table. My path helped me to know it started with me but was meant for many. I learned my callings & original story only filled me with unique depth as a teacher.

It makes teaching YOU next level sacred, & more humbling!! Blessed to train with Baron Baptiste & the BPYI team, Seane Corn, and Phoenix Rising. Only doubly blessed to find refuge in the heart, & teachings of Claire Este McDonald, Brandon Compagnone, and Seane Corn & encouraged to uncover my own voice and style.

When I am not teaching, I just like to be with my family the absolute most & with my first new grandchildren. I hope my yoga, meditations and Reiki are where you too can find a refuge for your human spirit & fill your own cup. Come simply to just breathe easier, move your body, be inspired, and kinder to yourself. Then, return to your world just a little better than I found you & bring your “good self” back to others
