Meet Our Founder

Hi, I’m Aimee O’Gara, the founder of Liberty Yoga—a space for movement, exploration, and transformation. My journey with yoga began over a decade ago when an injury left me in chronic pain. What started as a path to physical healing became a lifelong practice of strength, balance, and self-discovery.

Since completing my 200-hour teacher training in 2016, I’ve taught over 2,000 classes in styles ranging from vinyasa flow to yin, yoga sculpt, and restorative yoga. In 2025, I deepened my studies with a 300-hour multi-style yoga certification in Ubud, Bali, expanding my knowledge of traditional yogic practices, breathwork, meditation, and advanced asana.

In 2024, I hosted my first luxury yoga retreat in Tulum—a dream I had been manifesting for years. This retreat laid the foundation for Liberty Yoga, a brand dedicated to creating transformative retreat experiences that merge yoga with cultural exploration. Beyond retreats, Liberty Yoga offers mentorship for new teachers, providing guidance on sequencing, teaching methodologies, and the business of yoga to help them grow into confident leaders.

I also share insights through blogs and newsletters, covering yoga philosophy, mindful living, and industry tips to support our growing community both on and off the mat.

When I’m not teaching or planning retreats, you’ll find me running, surfing, traveling, or discovering new ways to connect with people and places. My mission is to inspire others to embrace both the challenges and beauty of their own journeys—through movement, adventure, and personal growth.

I invite you to be part of Liberty Yoga—whether it’s through a retreat, mentorship, or simply following along for inspiration. Let’s move, explore, and evolve together.
