Ciara Martin, The Planted Yogi
"I've always been a restless adventurer, driven by a thirst for knowledge and diverse experiences. This expansive journey has allowed me to delve into and understand the most intriguing landscape of all—the inner self as a pathway to the outer world. My teachings blend playful sequences, yogic philosophy, and neuroscience, all grounded in compassionate self-inquiry. In my yoga and meditation classes, I encourage you to tap into your inner wisdom while also reminding you to maintain a sense of humor and not take yourself too seriously." - Ciara Martin, PhD, Founder of The Planted Yogi
