Adyn Pipoly

Hi, I’m Adyn! I discovered yoga nearly two decades ago during a transitional time in high school. After transferring from a small private school to a large public high school in San Antonio, Texas, I was in search of a workout that mirrored the conditioning movements I enjoyed as a cheerleader.
Enter Bikram Yoga.

The intensity of Bikram was exactly what my seventeen-year-old self was seeking. Fast forward nearly twenty years, and my practice has entirely evolved: today, my yoga is rooted in the quality of breath with movement a secondary focus.  

In 2014, my dad was diagnosed with stage four cancer, and passed away just two months later. His loss was sudden and to this day, deeply felt. My dad seemed the picture of wellness, swimming laps daily while maintaining an almost irritatingly healthy diet—yet the stress of owning his own law practice had taken its toll. His sudden passing taught me the profound impact of chronic stress upon our health: a lesson that continues to shape my own life and teachings.

This pivotal experience ignited my yoga teaching journey. I was on a mission to understand how the small choices we make daily—from food choice to movement practice to thought pattern—create our own mosaic of personal health. I became fascinated with the post-yoga “high” (that calm, yet present state people often feel after practicing yoga), which led me to my first YTT with CorePower Yoga in 2015. One year later, I discovered the teachings of Eoin Finn and Blissology Yoga, which now inform much of my teaching principles.

While I am always excited to talk about my trainings and certifications, what I want to convey is the essence of my teaching style: slow (yet strong), integrative, and deeply personalized. I believe yoga is not a “one-size-fits-all” type of practice. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space for people to feel and heal inside of.

No expectation.
No judgement.

No attachment.

 Regardless of the style of class I’m leading, I like to begin with a gentle reminder that sixty-minute savasana’s are always welcome. Sometimes the act of showing up on your mat in community is the practice, and that is more than enough.

 When I’m not teaching or practicing yoga, you’ll likely find me (with my ten-year-old Corgi, Walter) immersed in my legal studies. Building upon my masters in restorative justice, I am currently a 2L student at Vermont Law and Graduate School, focusing on business and food and agricultural law. Beyond yoga, my passion lies in food accessibility. I dream of a world in which yoga and gardening are included in primary and secondary school curriculums, building sustainable communities from inner cities to rural counties.
