Cassidy Engfer

Cassidy Engfer, RYT 200, is a long-term Sierra Nevada habitant; growing up in this area has created an inseparable bond between her and nature. This connection with the natural world led her to Lake Tahoe in 2012, where she began taking an introduction to Hatha Yoga course in college. Six years later, Cassidy decided to further her love of yoga and attend an intensive and immersive 200HR teacher training in Costa Rica in 2018. This immersion course changed her life and her definition of yoga- she felt the union of mind, body, and soul.
Cassidy has always thought of herself as a life-long learner, feeling fulfillment when increasing her knowledge. Starting in 2018 she began her 300 HR training and completed it in 2019. She wants to continue building a strong yogic foundation in which she will keep growing and sharing all that she is learning with her current and future students.
