Hi! My name is Hayley Wilhelmi. I received my RYT 200 HR in July of 2023 from Soleil Lune Yoga Center after practicing yoga on my own for about 2 years. After practicing alone, I eventually found myself in a hot yoga studio where I was blessed with such a great community and a safe space to grow and learn. For the first time in a long time, the opportunity to start to appreciate myself and the things I could do presented itself. From that moment on, I wanted to be able to share what I was given with others, and so I bit the bullet and started my teacher training. Yoga has always been a priceless source of comfort to me over the years, no matter how difficult life can get. In both the worst and best parts of my life, I have found myself on my mat, grateful for this beautiful outlet that gave me back myself again, a transformative practice both physically and mentally, and I like to encompass that concept of "real yoga" into my classes. When I'm not teaching or practicing yoga, I'm cooking up various random cuisines in the kitchen with my person, snuggling my cats, or writing lesson plans for my day job where I teach middle school English! See you on your mat!
