Your teacher, Bridget Iaccino:

Hi, I’m Bridget! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Family Therapist, and Teen & Middle School Support Group Facilitator! When I’m not working with families and adolescents in the clinical realm, I teach Restorative and Yin Yoga here at Pistachio Yoga. I am so excited to combine my passion for supporting adolescents and teens with yoga in our new youth yoga program! I hope to bring my enthusiasm, love for connection and community building along with my skills for interpersonal relationships to these spaces, helping teens not only connect with themselves and their bodies, but with one another!
