Lily was born and raised in Springs, New York, a quaint, sunny corner of the Hamptons. Her journey with yoga began when she was only 15 years old when she was hired at Mandala Center for Healing Arts, a local studio in Amagansett. One of the major perks of her job allowed her unlimited access to yoga classes and workshops with some amazing teachers. Lily later attended the University of Vermont, where she studied Integrative Healthcare and learned about alternative healing modalities. It was through her education that she became interested in an individual's power to heal themselves through practices such as yoga, meditation, and nutrition. In 2018, she completed her first Yoga Teacher Training at the University of Vermont. After graduation, Lily returned to her roots in 2021 and continued her yoga education at Mandala with the same wonderful teachers who first introduced her to the practice.
Lily’s teaching style weaves together breathwork, asana, and philosophy in a fluid, rhythmic sequence, helping students cultivate stillness within their minds. Now based in Portland, Maine, she teaches weekly yoga classes and philosophy workshops. Whenever she can, Lily travels to Montauk and Puerto Rico to lead retreats and workshops alongside her best friend, Zoe Pearl.
Zoe grew up in Montauk, and first practiced Sivananda yoga in 2016 on a trip to Isla Mujeres, Mexico. In early 2023, she returned to Mexico to complete her 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training at Maha Shanti School of Yoga in Isla Mujeres. Under the direction of Lal Maharajh, she trained in traditional Sivananda yoga, with an emphasis on adjustments for the classic asanas. Her teaching style is playful and musical, and includes breathwork and voice activation.
Zoe recently completed a 3-month work study at the Sivananda Ashram Yoga Ranch, deepening her spiritual practice and expanding her teaching experience. During her time there she led the kitchen team, developing a "cookbook" of delicious ayurvedic recipes that she prepares at our retreats. She also plays the harmonium and leads regular kirtan (devotional singing) circles and workshops.
Details of this retreat
Yoga Dama was born out of an authentic passion for the practice of yoga, which has had a meaningful impact on each of our lives. Our goal is to share knowledge and practice of yoga to help others experience the same benefits. We aim to create a warm and welcoming space where people feel comfortable and at home, even if they’re on vacation. With two years of retreats under our belt, we are thrilled to continue our own education and share our passion with others.
