Pier McPherson, 500-RYT Yoga Profile
Yoga found Pier (RYT-500) in 2014. One of her favorite quotes is, “the universe has a way of making one pay attention to what they truly need,” and for Pier, it was yoga. Pier’s style of teaching is Vinyasa Flow with an emphasis on alignment. Her immense passion for growth is evident in her continuous quest to study, learn, and grow spiritually. In 2016, Pier obtained her 200-Hour Teachers Training and, by the next year, a 300-Hour Advanced Teachers Training at JaiPure Yoga Studio in Montclair, NJ under the guidance of her teachers Marcie Wallace and Loryn Riggiola. In April 2018, Pier’s path led her towards wanting a deeper understanding of meditation, and so she pursued her Meditation Teachers Training certification with Sri Reverend Jaganath Carrera of the Yoga Life Society.
Pier’s background is in Personal Training. She is well-versed in anatomy and exercise physiology of the body. In 2007, she obtained her 500-Hour Personal Training Diploma and soon thereafter solidified her studies with a personal training certification from the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Pier’s uplifting spirit and her fitness background compliment her Vinyasa style of yoga training and teaching. With a keen eye for alignment Pier offers her students the opportunity to build strength while guiding them in techniques of mindful breathing. She brings confidence and grace to her classes as she creates a space for an overall mindful practice.
