New Teacher Feature-Gavin Hudgeons

Hi, I’m Gavin. I’m a long-time Austin resident, professional geologist and data scientist, and a certified yoga instructor with over 20 years of dedicated practice. I graduated as Valedictorian of the 2015 Bikram Yoga Teacher Training in Thailand and completed an additional 500 hours of teacher training with Tony Sanchez in the advanced 84 postures of our lineage. I am registered with both the OHYA and YA. Over the years, I’ve taught thousands of classes at studios both locally and around the world, and participated on staff in workshops and teacher trainings. Yoga has been my constant through life’s many changes, and I see it as a profound daily practice that supports growth, resilience, health, strength and presence over time.

Outside the studio, I’m an athlete and father of two. I’ve completed more than 20 marathons and ultramarathons and love to kayak, ski, bike and play tennis. My teaching is grounded in consistency, alignment, and purpose-driven living. My goal as a yoga teacher is to create a space accessible to all, regardless of age, variables or ability, while simultaneously challenging practitioners to build strength, resilience, and clarity so that the yoga supports not just your body, but your life.
