Hillary Lopes

Hillary is a yoga and mindfulness teacher, proud mother of triplet boys, certified holistic health coach, and birth doula who weaves healing from the inside out in service of personal and collective liberation. She uses movement to reduce stress, address trauma, and cultivate a lasting practice of claiming one's worth.

A life built on movement, from gymnastics to classical ballet, led her to yoga as a remedy for a dance-related knee injury. She completed ISHTA's 200-hour training and Prema Yoga Brooklyn's inaugural vinyasa training, and has taught young people ages 4-18 in NYC schools through Little Flower Yoga and Urban Yoga Foundation.

A Mama Glow-trained doula, she serves the birthing community throughout the Hudson Valley. Through Off the Mat, Into the World's social justice trainings, she joined her passions for activism and well-being, and also founded Blackswell Birth Foundation, which connects BIPOC birthing people with free doula services.
