Peg Oliveira

I believe that every moment on the mat is an opportunity for connection to self, to spirit, and to community.

Peg Oliveira is a Certified Baptiste Power Vinyasa Teacher. Peg grew up with sports shaping her young life, and never lost the itch for the flow of synchronized movement. Peg was originally certified as a yoga teacher at Yoga Center Amherst in Massachusetts, and certified as a Thai Yoga Therapy Practitioner by Saul David Raye. She is also a Yoga Alliance 500 Hour Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher.

Peg holds a BA degree in Psychology and in English from Fairfield University and a PhD in Social and Developmental Psychology from Brandeis University. She currently does research and legislative policy analysis on child care for a non-profit child advocacy organization in Connecticut. She is actively engaged in her local community.

While grateful for the community that teaching yoga has brought to her life, Peg is equally appreciative for the personal gifts yoga has offered her.

I am infinitely indebted to yoga for both the encouragement and the permission it gives me to fall apart fully and the safe space it creates to come back together in a new way.
