Certified Yoga Teacher Blair Vaughn

Instructor: Blair Vaughn

Blair Vaughn’s style of yoga instruction flows with a creative energy that draws upon her playful spirit, contagious passion and dedicated focus. She has spent the last nine years training with notable teachers, like Seane Corn, to develop a practice that balances the fundamentals of yoga with personal growth through its benefits. Vaughn was introduced to yoga in 1997 as part of her recovery process from a snowboarding accident in Lake Tahoe. Immediately after taking her first Hatha yoga class, she knew that this would become her path in life.

After attending her first Yoga Journal Conference in 2004, Vaughn decided to study under Baron Baptiste and received her teacher training certification from him. The next year, she was accepted to study with David Life and Sharon Gannon, the founders of Jivamukti Yoga, which literally means “freedom of the soul.” After completing this training, she decided to move to Denver in 2005 to become part of a larger yoga community and then completed the Yoga Works teacher training in 2007. While living in Lake Tahoe, Vaughn traveled frequently to San Francisco to study with Seane Corn. The two developed an immediate connection and Corn has been a major inspiration and mentor ever since. In February 2009, Vaughn joined Corn and several others on the Seva Challenge, a volunteer program where participants travel to Cambodia and partner with the Cambodia Children’s Fund to work with local children living in poverty. Vaughn currently lives in Denver with her husband and teaches yoga at several locations such as Samadhi Center for Yoga, Pura Vida Fitness, Om Time and Ascent Health Center, as well as working with the University of Denver’s Swim & Dive Team, offering private one-on-one sessions and on-site corporate yoga.
