LEADERSHIP

Katie Davidson (SHE/HER)

Executive Director

Katie joins YFAM lit up about making yoga inclusive, accessible, and truly for the benefit of all beings without exception. She is thrilled that her yoga journey has come full circle and that she is able to serve communities in Santa Cruz, where she learned about the roots of yoga.

After completing her foundational 200-hour yoga teacher training with Hannah Muse and Kenny Graham, Katie’s yoga journey brought her around the world — to Costa Rica, Guatemala, Bali, and India for her advanced 300-hour certification.

Her continued pursuit of jñāna (knowledge) and svādhyāya (self-study) eventually led her to graduate school at Loyola Marymount University, where she earned her M.A. in Yoga Studies with an emphasis on Yoga, Mindfulness & Social Change.

Her most impactful experiences of yoga have been in sevā, or selfless service. Through the program and working with the Yoga Studies department after graduating, she has been able to empower students in diverse populations (including undergraduates, high school students, and formerly incarcerated individuals) by teaching yoga as therapeutic tools for stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Additionally, Katie served the university’s wider Westchester community by bringing yoga and mindfulness into K-8 schools in the LA Unified School District through a generous grant-funded program in partnership with the YMCA. For two years, she served as a youth yoga instructor, as well as the program’s lead coordinator.

Katie continues to burn for youth — not only advocating for children but recognizing the childlike joy, divinity, and wholeness in everyone. She burns for all beings to have opportunities to remember and reconnect to their true nature while being nurtured by the healing practices of yoga.

Bobi Hines (she/her)

Program Director

Bobi Hines is one of YFAM’s most passionate supporters, and she burns for interconnectivity and the possibility of every human realizing their inherent worth. Through the practice of yoga, she was able to find deep healing in her personal life and has found purpose through sharing the gift of yoga with people experiencing substance abuse and people struggling with mental health challenges. She draws from broad life experiences, including her own recovery journey and her experience serving in the military. She began teaching as a volunteer for YFAM in 2019. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Collaborative Health and Human Services with honors in the Spring of 2021, having served as the first YFAM intern. Bobi supported the Facilitating Yoga with Incarcerated Individuals training, leading a module about how to best help students struggling with substance abuse challenges in incarceration. She is incredibly devoted to the work of healing trauma through somatic practices. She believes that we can bring about lasting change through our work with others. She finds joy in mentoring and training the other YFAM teachers who support the mission. You can find Bobi in her happy place at the local surf breaks or trooping around with her beloved dog Buster.

HANNAH MUSE (SHE/HER)

Board President

Hannah Muse is energized and excited to serve as the new Board President of the Yoga for All Movement. Hannah has served YFAM in a number of ways since its inception: as a founding board member, teacher, biggest fan, and founder of the yoga program at Siena House, serving women experiencing houselessness during pregnancy and postpartum. Hannah is deeply devoted to the mission of YFAM. As someone who’s been close to mental health crises, suicide, and addiction, she has experienced the healing powers of yoga and mindfulness firsthand. As an activist, mother, and internationally-recognized teacher of mindfulness & yoga, she believes the practice is a vehicle not only for personal transformation but for social impact and systemic change. When she’s not teaching retreats and teacher training, or with her family being enchanted by nature, you can find her in our local community collaborating with people like you to make yoga more accessible for all.
