Hi! I’m Izzy. I have been practicing yoga for most of my adult life and teaching yoga for 6 years. For me, there is nothing better than using mindful movement to get out of your head and into your body. In my class, you’ll do just this! I’m so excited to be in this adventure with everyone. Like most of you on this trip, I am a business owner myself! I create custom engagement rings and fine jewelry. @izzy_atelier_ !
Yoga and custom jewelry design are my passion and I’m excited to connect with everyone about what they’re excited about in their lives and businesses. So although I am not necessarily in the skincare world, I think that there will be so much to connect on when it comes to business leadership, yoga, mindful movement and diamonds - haha! I’m excited to get to know everyone.
