Hannah Muse (she/her) is a midwife of possibility, and a beloved teacher of mindfulness, mysticism and yoga. With deep devotion to social change and the spiritual path, Hannah is known for her profound ability to weave the opposites, integrating the mythical and practical, spiritual and physical, the intellectual and mystical. In her retreats, yoga teacher trainings, morning meditations, and Yoga Church classes (all available online now), she has a rare gift of grounding ancient wisdom into the relevant realities of modern life, making practices accessible and applicable to the students who find her.
Hannah has received in-depth training in various areas of yoga, meditation and healing. Some of her most influential teachers include Baba Hari Dass (yoga & yogic philosophy), Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield (mindfulness meditation & Buddha dharma), Tom Myers and Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen (anatomy), Dan Siegel and Rick Hanson (neuroscience of mindfulness), Peter Levine (trauma healing), Judith Lasater (restorative yoga), Dr. Vasant Lad and the distinguished faculty of Mt. Madonna’s health counselor program (Ayurveda), Michelle Johnson (yoga and social justice), Joanna Macy (Buddhism, general systems theory, deep ecology).
For the past decade Hannah has guided dozens of retreats and teacher trainings in India (alongside Christopher Hareesh Wallis, scholar of classical Nondual Saiva Tantra, and with Sri Ram Ashram, the orphanage founded by her root teacher Babaji), Bali, London, Guatemala, Mexico, Portugal, and across the U.S.
Hannah’s teachings have been called paradigm-shifting, an agent of fierce compassion, radically tender, and life-giving. Hannah lives and loves between the redwoods and the sea in Santa Cruz, California, where you can find her in the ocean with her greatest teacher/11 year old daughter Ruby Bea, organizing for equity, justice and collective care, dancing wildly, or meditating quietly.
“Anyone who has taken a class with Hannah Muse knows what an amazing teacher she is, as they have felt her cultivated-heart transmit love. As a yoga teacher and life coach myself, I have taken hundreds of yoga classes with teachers from all over the world, but Hannah leads by far the most powerful and potent yoga class I have ever experienced. Weaving in mantra, mudra, mythology, and pranayam, our singing Santa Cruz sangha is always eager to be led through her teachings. Hannah’s classes are the most heavily attended classes at multiple Santa Cruz studios as she is truly able guide her students into experiential understandings of the energetic and spiritual body. Due to her awesome alignment cues, I am often surprised at my body as it eases into deeper versions of poses that I practice every day!”
