About Cassie
Cassie Bollinger is a certified Hot Yoga (Bikram 26X2), Yin Yoga, and Restorative Yoga instructor. She completed her Unified Yoga 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training with Jagadisha Peter Petrovic and her Yin Yoga Training I (45 hours in 2019) and II (60 hours in 2024) with Jacquie Ruderman. Recently, she earned her Restorative Yoga Teacher Training Certification (108 hours in 2024) with Jillian Pransky. A trained ballet dancer, Cassie has practiced many types of yoga over the past 20 years, and began teaching in 2020. She finds the moving meditation of a Hot 26X2 practice powerful and invigorating.
When so much in life is changing, Cassie believes coming to the mat each day to practice the same sequence of 26 postures – and even more importantly, the moments of stillness between each posture – keeps her grounded, focused and healthy.
The “slow medicine” of a Yin Yoga class is the perfect balance to the vigorous Hot 26X2 practice. The purpose of Yin is to travel deeply within the body (the muscles, fascia, joints, energy channels) as well as the mind — to make space for the free flow of energy, to bring healthy synovial fluid and hydration to the major joints of the body, and to cultivate space, a slower tempo, and synchronization of breath with mind and body — a perfect antidote to the unrelenting pace of our lives.
Cassie is a freelance writer and former copyeditor, who has lived with her husband and four kids in Montclair since 1996, with a brief two-year relocation to the South Bay area in CA. When not practicing or teaching yoga, Cassie can often be seen walking her dogs around town.
