Pippa is a Certified Yoga Teacher since 2005, when she received her teacher training from Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health at the  age of 19 while exploring some time off from Bates College. She transferred to the School of Human Kinetics at UBC and then received her B.Sc. in Wellness & Alternative Medicine at JSC in Johnson, VT. During the summer of 2016, 6 months after the birth of her first child, she opened Stepping Stone Yoga Studio in Jeffersonville. However, the pandemic of 2020 forced Stepping Stone to close. Pippa and her husband used that time to build a studio-without-walls (a 30-foot octagonal deck and 36’ pavilion canopy as an outdoor Yoga and event space at the same spot in Jeffersonville), called "Sacred in the Round", where Pippa continued to teach seasonally from the close of Stepping Stone until the Summer of 2024. Pippa is also a labor/birth Doula and Lunar Wheel coach for girls and women. She loves to hoop dance, be in nature, and guide drum journeys. Currently, she is working towards a teacher certification in Empowerment Self-defense training for women.”

Pippa is a Certified Yoga Teacher since 2005, when she received her teacher training from Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health at the  age of 19 while exploring some time off from Bates College. She transferred to the School of Human Kinetics at UBC and then received her B.Sc. in Wellness & Alternative Medicine at JSC in Johnson, VT. During the summer of 2016, 6 months after the birth of her first child, she opened Stepping Stone Yoga Studio in Jeffersonville.

Pippa is also a labor/birth Doula and Lunar Wheel coach for girls and women. She loves to hoop dance, be in nature, and guide drum journeys. Currently, she is working towards a teacher certification in Empowerment Self-defense training for women.”

Pippa is a Certified Yoga Teacher since 2005, when she received her teacher training from Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health at the  age of 19 while exploring some time off from Bates College. She transferred to the School of Human Kinetics at UBC and then received her B.Sc. in Wellness & Alternative Medicine at JSC in Johnson, VT. During the summer of 2016, 6 months after the birth of her first child, she opened Stepping Stone Yoga Studio in Jeffersonville. However, the pandemic of 2020 forced Stepping Stone to close. Pippa and her husband used that time to build a studio-without-walls (a 30-foot octagonal deck and 36’ pavilion canopy as an outdoor Yoga and event space at the same spot in Jeffersonville), called "Sacred in the Round", where Pippa continued to teach seasonally from the close of Stepping Stone until the Summer of 2024. Pippa is also a labor/birth Doula and Lunar Wheel coach for girls and women. She loves to hoop dance, be in nature, and guide drum journeys. Currently, she is working towards a teacher certification in Empowerment Self-defense training for women.”

Pippa is a Certified Yoga Teacher since 2005, when she received her teacher training from Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health at the  age of 19 while exploring some time off from Bates College. She transferred to the School of Human Kinetics at UBC and then received her B.Sc. in Wellness & Alternative Medicine at JSC in Johnson, VT. During the summer of 2016, 6 months after the birth of her first child, she opened Stepping Stone Yoga Studio in Jeffersonville. However, the pandemic of 2020 forced Stepping Stone to close. Pippa and her husband used that time to build a studio-without-walls (a 30-foot octagonal deck and 36’ pavilion canopy as an outdoor Yoga and event space at the same spot in Jeffersonville), called "Sacred in the Round", where Pippa continued to teach seasonally from the close of Stepping Stone until the Summer of 2024. Pippa is also a labor/birth Doula and Lunar Wheel coach for girls and women. She loves to hoop dance, be in nature, and guide drum journeys. Currently, she is working towards a teacher certification in Empowerment Self-defense training for women.”
