Abi Mavericke (she/her)
Abi Mavericke (she/her) is a compassionate psychotherapist, certified yoga instructor, meditation teacher, and above all, a human being. Her journey with yoga began at Kripalu, where she first encountered the practice of Hatha yoga. For those unfamiliar with it, "hatha" is derived from the Sanskrit words "ha" (sun) and "tha" (moon), symbolizing the delicate balance between exerting energy and embracing rest. In her teachings, Abi emphasizes the harmony between physical challenge and relaxation, helping students develop a loving relationship with their bodies.
Abi's approach to teaching is deeply rooted in the art of nervous system regulation and holistic self-care—nurturing the mind, body, and soul. She fosters a practice that blends discipline with surrender, guiding students to push beyond their limits while maintaining a sense of ease and balance. Her goal is to create a space where students feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore their personal limits—whether they’re sweating it out, smiling, or taking refuge in a restful child’s pose. No matter where you are in your practice, Abi is just thrilled that you showed up.
Abi holds a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training certification from Kripalu (2014) and has since completed an additional 500-hour YTT with Kripalu and Jivamukti. She also holds specialized certifications in restorative yoga and meditation. By day, and sometimes by night, she is a psychotherapist specializing in eating disorders and addiction, blending her expertise in mental health with her passion for yoga and wellness. Outside of her professional life, Abi is an avid mountain biker, runner, camper, hiker, laugher, and board game enthusiast. She believes in the power of community and works to cultivate it within every class.
