Renée Wellman is in the business of purpose. For close to two decades, Renée has been connecting people to gratitude and impact through their philanthropy at some of the world’s leading institutions. As a yoga teacher, she is known for creating space away from the busyness of life to recenter on core values and self.
Based in Fairfield County, Connecticut, Renée is a teacher of teachers, serving as a lead trainer for her home studio’s renowned teacher training and a mentor for teachers honing their craft.
Renée’s own teaching covers a range of modalities: her open level classes are grounded in functional anatomy and combine super healthy alignment with dynamic sequencing to explore the “why” and the “how” behind our movements. Her signature Deep Chill class blends yin and restorative poses that ease the body into relaxation, deepened by the healing vibrations of crystal bowl sound bath.
Beyond the physical, each class opens with a centering meditation designed to bridge the space between the body and the mind, often drawing inspiration from her work off the mat.
Renée’s teaching philosophy borrows from poet Anne Lamott: yoga will meet you where you are, but it won’t leave you where it found you.
