My name is Hannah Pellouchoud, this and this is HPel Yoga.  

 

In June of 2013 I completed my 200-hour certification course through Blue Sun Yoga with Wendy Dahl and Wendy Sadler. It not only gave me a comprehensive introduction to history and philosophy of yoga and provided me with ample knowledge of alignment and sequencing, but drastically changed my experience of yoga on the mat and in moment-to-moment life.

Immediately after receiving my certification, I began teaching classes in my backyard as well as private individual and group lessons.  After moving to New Orleans to attend Tulane University, I started teaching at the Reily Fitness Center over the course of the school year and over my winter break taught at Samadhi a Yoga Studio back home in Glenview.  In my short time of teaching, I have had the privilege to teach a wide variety of styles to a diverse group of yogis.  I primarily teach an anusara-inspired, vigorous vinyasa flow, and have a background in regularly teaching Fitness Yoga/Yoga for athletes.  I also have experience teaching yin yoga, and chair yoga, to all age ranges including children, college students, adults and seniors.  I try to use every class as an opportunity to learn more about different bodies, abilities, and needs.

 

My journey has centered around discovering wisdom and inspiration in all corners of the yoga community by sampling an ecclectic mix of styles and philosophies, incorporating them into my yogic perspective and practice.  From attending classes in breathing and meditation, to reading books on anatomy and philosophy, to practicing at a number of studios, I am constantly filling my life with yoga.

 

I teach to share.   Yoga is the best gift I have ever received, it has shifted my gravitational center.  It is in my personality to derive the utmost meaning through the act of sharing, and this is why I decided to become a yoga teacher.  I hope that through my classes, I can help some students access in themselves what I was shown by the teachers that came before me.

 

My classes focus on alignment, flow, and breath, creating an invigorating practice as a path to unity of mind, body and spirit.
