SIMONE ECKHARDT

Simone has been practicing yoga since 2014 as a former gymnast and cheerleader. After being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis as a freshman at UNM, she began regularly practicing hot yoga and received her 200-hour RYT from Blissful Spirits in 2017. She is also certified in yin and practiced advanced asana with Kelly Green.

“I teach to give back to others what I have gotten from yoga: strength, flexibility, and balance.” 

Simone’s specialty is strength and vinyasa, but her favorite way to teach is by asking those who come to class what they want to work on and then developing a class focused on specific poses, areas of the body, or intentions.

Outside of the studio, Simone is a jack of many trades as a musician, dog groomer, vet tech, swim lesson instructor, nanny, dog/house sitter, and small business owner. Her passions include helping animal rescues, hiking with her four dogs, crafting, and spending time with her parents in Santa Fe.

ALSO, she is signed with Family Tree Entertainment in Los Angeles to begin working under labels such as Aftermath and Republic (these are major record labels!!) as a singer, songwriter, rapper, and actor.
