Dawn's Biography

I’m here to support people in returning to the sacred truth of who they are and in creating relationships that feel deeply nourishing, honest, and alive. As an intimacy and relationship coach, I’ve spent the past two years holding workshops and guiding individuals and couples into greater presence, self-love, and connection. My work is rooted in the gentle yet transformative practices of Presencing, loving yourself, and developing your essence. I love creating heart-centered spaces where people can soften, awaken, and remember their wholeness — so they can relate from a place of truth, tenderness, and inner radiance.

Restorative Yoga with Alex Westen

Alex discovered yoga at the age of 17, during a deeply challenging time following the loss of my mother to cancer.  Through yoga, I found a profound sense of Physical, mental, and spiritual balance.  The practice became a vital tool in injury prevention and recovery, especially as my career and hobbies took me to physically demanding roles- landscaping, horticulture, tree trimming, construction, serving as a Cavalry Scout in the Army.  Beyond work, yoga has complemented my passions for caving, rock climbing, mountain biking, kayaking, and marathon distance canoeing.  

My journey as a teacher began in 2018 after attending a YogaFit seminar, where I earned my first certification.  I started by offering free classes in a local park and flower shop, gradually expanding my expertise with YogaFit Level 2 and a 200 hour yoga teacher training.  By 2021, I was teaching at Augusta Health Fitness Center, and since then, I've brought yoga sessions to breweries, local farm stores, and community festivals.  Currently, my focus has broadened to include tantric studies, meditation, and Kundalini instruction with A Thousand Suns Academy.  I serve as a meditation facilitator for the Tibetan Yoga Ligmincha Foundation and am in pursuit of additional advanced certifications in a 200 hour Kundalini certification.  

I am honored to teach student of all ages, from children to seniors, and my mission is to offer a holistic, accessible approach to yoga for everyone.  After all, if you breathe with intention, you are practicing yoga in some form.
