Fawn Williams is a yoga therapist, movement educator and lifelong yoga practitioner, C-IAYT, YACEP, E-RYT 500, BFA.
Her offerings are all designed to help people gain greater self empathy, connection, and function.
She works within a feminist, inclusive, collaborative, weight neutral lens investigating the pedagogy of care, attention, meditation, and noetic sciences. She is the owner and director of Elk Rock Yoga in Portland, Oregon, a small independent yoga school and studio.
Fawn is a Health At Every Size practitioner, a member of the Columbia Eating Disorder Network of providers, Certified Yoga Therapist, and Continuing Education Provider for Registered Yoga Teachers. She learned yoga as a child through Surat Shabd Yoga, meditation on inner sound. The poses came later, but her teaching remains centered on the subtle limbs of yoga.
“Fawn has an intelligence, thoughtfulness, humility, and kindness that she brings to each class. She creates a safe and fun space where you can learn about yourself through exploration and practice without judgement or expectations. Her instruction not only informs the physical practice, but integrates the mind and body both on and off the mat. Her classes are for the curious and serious alike, or anyone who wants to work on positive change!”
— Jennifer S. Lin, MD, MCR
“Fawn is a true yogi and healer. Despite my 20 years of yoga practice, I moved muscles that I had never found before! This was truly a healing and enlightening yoga experience in a beautiful setting. I highly recommend Fawn’s yoga retreats!”
— Beth Freeman, PhD, MBA
“Fawn, Thanks for your wonderful teaching. I am just a beginner in my body, and in a process of recovery from major surgery and six months of chemo. Soon maybe I’ll be able to graduate to gentle yoga. Thanks for your great work.”
