Vaughn Powell

Vaughn began her yoga journey shortly after moving to Minneapolis in 2016.

What started as a weekly Vinyasa class at a local gym turned into an interest in the body’s movements and the liberation of the mind through body-based practices.

As her interest continued, she explored different avenues of movement, one, in particular, being Ashtanga yoga. The focus and discipline required in Ashtanga appealed to her anxious mind. The stillness within each posture and the breath required to arrive at every movement found itself integrating within her daily life. Four years later, the practice has become an anchor for grounding. 

In 2021, Vaughn began an apprenticeship with her teacher and mentor, Ellie Wannemacher, to deepen her relationship with Ashtanga yoga and begin teaching Mysore-style and led primary series classes. Vaughn has devoted herself to the Ashtanga method and intends to further immerse herself in the lineage. 

Vaughn teaches the Wednesday Mysore and the Led Primary Series class on alternate Fridays.
