Cory Murphy

Class Vibe: I bring a relaxed, approachable vibe to my classes, focusing on meeting yourself where you are. My intention is to share accessible tools that help you feel more connected, balanced, and supported in the full spectrum of the human experience.

Training & Experience: 200hr cert - 2012 Garden State Yoga ... 300hr cert -2017 Yoga Montclair .... Trauma Informed Cert - 2023 Three and a Half Acres Yoga (which is a non profit) 

What’s the heart of your teaching? At the heart of my teaching is helping students better understand themselves and feel at home in who they are.

Why did you start teaching? When I went into my first training, I had no intention of teaching, I just wanted to learn more (learning is my favorite thing!) But in order to graduate, you had to teach - and I actually enjoyed it! So I just kept it going. 

Extra Spark: I tend to have dad jokes and fun facts. I also weave in storytelling where I can, an example is the story of Virabhadra, and what the poses mean (warrior 1, 2, & 3) 

Off the mat: I am a bibliophile; live music feeds my soul,  and I love the outdoors.
