Lily Owens

Lily first became interested in yoga when she was a teenager in a small town in Oklahoma. She remembers watching her favorite show Felicity when the characters went to a yoga class in New York City. Lily was intrigued and had her mom buy her a yoga dvd to try it out at home. Yoga was not an instant love for Lily, she found it physically hard and difficult to be still with her own thoughts. Luckily, she sensed there was something more to it and although it took many stop-and-start-again times Lily eventually found a deep love and gratitude for yoga. Lily is glad she had this experience so she can tell other people that’s it’s ok if you don’t enjoy it immediately. She believes the wisdom and benefits of yoga reveal themselves over time when you show up on your mat with consistency and dedication. Lily became certified in 2021 and loves learning and growing as a teacher. Lily’s favorite and most important job is being mom, but outside of teaching yoga and guiding her children, Lily counts volunteering with Tulsa non-profit Poetic Justice as another favorite sacred endeavor. A lover of books, poetry, and learning new things, you can always expect Lily to be sharing some recent reading or knowledge in her classes. Lily believes we all have what we need within us (we sometimes just need to be reminded) and yoga can do just that.
