Welcome to Lemuria Yoga where reality depends on your perspective to let yourself surrender to the moment. Just like the Lemurian crystal, we are reminded that we are all individuals with beautiful facets unique to ourselves. A sanctuary where you can come as you are no matter your level of yoga experience and expect to leave as the most powerful version of yourself. Glowing from the inside out is a part of Lumeria’s qualities that will be cultivated into your yoga experience and practice. The classes will engage your sense of self while strengthening your body and mind. My personal belief is that yoga is more than a pose, it’s the union of mind and body together with breath. I’ve discovered over the years that there are pillars in life that create a well balanced soul such as plant, physical, and soul nourishment. These pillars will blend together in a manner that will allow you to show up and shine your bright self. You will leave feeling alive and awakened.
Nourish. Connect. Shine.

Dawn Hamilton
Lemuria Founder and Yoga Teacher
I am a woman who has walked her journey breadcrumb by breadcrumb (gluten-free, of course). A carpal tunnel diagnosis and the pain that followed is what initially brought me to yoga. Avoiding surgery was my goal, and I did it by changing my lifestyle (after being misdiagnosed and also finding out I was Celiac). I focused on holistic health, including my yoga practice and plant-based nutrition. Now thriving twenty years later, I’m a certified raw food chef, health coach, and yoga instructor.
​
Over these years, I’ve rediscovered the beauty of women; their beauty, strength, and intelligence. I believe everyone can encompass their inner beauty, health, and wellness if they choose.
My gypsy, free-spirited soul has led me to where I am today. In my off time, you can find me with my family, hiking, glamping, gardening, or walking my dogs. Pretty much anything outdoors when the weather allows. I have great respect for nature, plants, crystals, beauty, and deep meaningful conversations with others. I hold gratitude for anyone or anything that makes me feel alive, and I am looking forward to having you on this journey with me.
