Who is Izzy VanHall

Izzy VanHall is an internationally recognized artist, educator, licensed massage therapist, and movement leader with nearly two decades of experience teaching yoga, anatomy, strength, and bodywork.

After years of teaching, training teachers, and most recently leading bodywork programming at one of New York City’s premier wellness destinations, Izzy is entering a new chapter focused on the work she has spent her career building: THYME Collective and From Loving to Leading, her 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training and Mentorship.

With over 80,000 hours of in-studio teaching experience, Izzy is a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT), licensed massage therapist (LMT), AcroYoga instructor, and Steel Mace Coach. Her relationship with movement began early, as pre Olympic gymnast, followed by rowing, cross-training, track and field, yoga, strength training, and an ongoing study of the human body.

Her teaching sits at the intersection of anatomy, movement, nervous system awareness, philosophy, and human connection. Known for creative, intelligent sequencing and an ability to make complex anatomy accessible, Izzy teaches students not simply how to perform a pose, but how to understand the body in front of them—and how to make thoughtful decisions as teachers and practitioners.

That philosophy is at the heart of From Loving to Leading, Izzy’s 300-hour advanced yoga teacher training created to bridge the often-overlooked space between loving yoga and confidently leading it. Through anatomy, sequencing, philosophy, voice, mentorship, and real-world teaching experience, the program develops teachers who can think critically, adapt intelligently, and lead a room with a message that is genuinely their own.

Her broader platform, THYME Collective — Train, Health, Yoga, Massage + Evolve — brings together the disciplines that have shaped her career. THYME approaches strength, movement, recovery, and self-care through the understanding that there is no single practice the body needs all the time. Instead, Izzy teaches people to develop the awareness and tools to recognize what they need, meet themselves there, and evolve.

Having facilitated teacher trainings and programs around the world, Izzy has built her work around education rather than performance. She believes great teaching isn't about having the most advanced practice in the room. It is about understanding bodies, seeing people clearly, communicating with purpose, and creating an environment where others feel capable of discovering what is possible for themselves.

Across THYME, From Loving to Leading, and her work as an artist and educator, Izzy continues to explore the same question that has guided her career: What becomes possible when we understand our bodies deeply enough to trust ourselves within them?
