"Learning and growing one yoga pose at a time" 

Corey Esannason is a kid at heart.

Her combined passion for moving and learning led her to her current career as a movement and yoga educator. Esa Yoga, was created from her belief that we all can continually explore, learn and grow one yoga pose at a time. This principle, informs and guides her core teachings and programming at Esa Yoga, focusing on helping students and communities better connect to themselves and their surroundings.

Corey's yoga journey began as a dance major at Skidmore College. Amazed by yoga's unique and constant opportunity for mental and physical discovery, her practice led her to Om Yoga Center in 2004 where she received her teaching certification under the direction of Cyndi Lee, Joe Miller and Christie Clark. She has since has received additional pre-natal and children's certifications from Janice Clarfield, Karma Kids Yoga and Yoga Ed.  Extensive experience teaching a range of students from young children to adults has helped her progress in personal and professional practice. 

Before starting Esa Yoga, Corey was the Children's Yoga Specialist with The Butterflies Program, a supportive mental health program, serving children birth to five, their families and communities in New York City.  Upon her move to Westchester, she created Esa Yoga, where she is currently sharing the joy and benefits of yoga throughout Westchester county serving over 400 students and clients a month. Whether it's an adult class with specific attention on alignment and breath or a children's class full of animated poses, Corey uses her playful nature to create a safe and encouraging environment to nurture and promote physical, intellectual, social and emotional growth.  Through her teachings and programs, students develop balance, coordination, strength and flexibility while simultaneously developing creativity and self-awareness. 

Corey is grateful to all of her teachers, students, friends and family who teach and inspire her everyday.                                                                                                

Esa Yoga is dedicated to her Mom, who gave her the experiences to learn, grow and explore and the support to continually empower.
