Noelle Hammerbacher Hero Pic

Hi! I’m Noelle. I live in the Philadelphia area with my husband and dog, Ollie. I also have two cool kids who are in college and living their best lives. Since 2009, I have been teaching various forms of yoga as well as meditation at several different studios in the Philadelphia area. I specialize in Gentle Flow and All Levels Yoga with an emphasis on care and compassion toward one’s self without judgment. I have also offered mindfulness workshops and healing retreats in the local area. Hosting a retreat in Costa Rica has been a dream of mine, and I am so looking forward to sharing my practice with you so we can let go of what is not serving us best and live a life filled with joy!
