Gretchen has felt drawn to movement from an early age. She started dance lessons at just four years old, and yoga first entered her life through her dance training. Her passion deepened after moving to San Francisco in 2007, where she discovered Laughing Lotus Yoga Center and quickly felt at home. In 2012, she completed her 200-hour teacher training at Laughing Lotus before relocating to Amsterdam later that year.
Her classes are known for being both challenging and playful, weaving movement and breath together with the fluidity of dance. Gretchen invites students to explore their own unique expression within the practice, creating a space that feels creative, empowering, and alive.
