Jackie Dawson - A Totem Butterfly

Hi there! I'm Jackie Dawson and I'm an RYT 200 certified yogi, currently working towards completing my 500-hour certification. I stumbled upon yoga as I was searching for a way to break out of the cycle of burnout and suffering I was experiencing as a stay-at-home mom and wife. Having wrestled with codependency, anxiety, and depression for most of my adulthood, my coping mechanisms had ceased to be effective. However, yoga completely transformed my life! The powerful combination of intentional breath and movement helped me to become fully embodied, while also allowing me the space to slow down and choose joy and love over fear and obligation.

In addition to being a certified yoga teacher, I am also a Reiki Master and a certified Crystal Healer through Hibiscus Moon. I received my RYT-200 certification from Shine Yoga in Winchester, VA, under the tutelage of Caroline Felix and Amy Gwinner in 2019-2020. Through my classes, I offer a slower, dynamic flow that helps my students to build strength, balance their nervous systems and focus their minds, all while deepening their personal practice. My main goal is to create a loving and supportive environment where others can ignite their own mind-body-spirit healing, both on and off the mat.
