Yoga & Mat Pilates Instructor
Retreat Leader & Coordinator
My Journey
Autumn Perez is a certified Vinyasa Yoga teacher and received her 200-HR certification and Pre/Postnatal advanced Teacher Training through FlorYoga. Additionally, she is also a certified Power Pilates Mat instructor, Corporate Yoga instructor (Self-Reboot TT) and completed her Chakra TT (Laughing Lotus) right before COVID. Most recently she has completed her Yin and Fusion Training with Powerflow School of Yoga. Autumn's love for movement comes from years of dancing since the age of 3 and has studied, performed, taught and choreographed for many years and holds a B.F.A. in Dance from Montclair State University.
Having been integrated in the physical fitness world for many years, she was led to the mat post college as she entered the "real world." Yoga allowed her to find peace and purpose during a transitional time in her life and ultimately decided that her path was to become a yoga instructor.
Autumn loves guiding yogis through an explorative yoga practice, allowing healing and space for students to grow and learn more about themselves along their personal journey. In her classes you'll move through a well rounded amalgamation of exercise and yoga poses geared to invigorate the body, nourish the mind, and awaken the spirit.
Autumn teaches yoga, fusion classes, and offers private sessions all over Jersey City and the metro area. Autumn also offers Chakra and Power Yoga/Core workshops and co-leads and guest teaches for yoga teacher trainings seasonally. THIS Fall Autumn is co-leading an 8-Day Chakra Retreat alongside Melissa Grywalski at beautiful Willka T'ika Wellness Center nestled right in the middle of Peru's Sacred Valley, 10/05/24-10/12/24!
As a whole, Autumn believes that movement heals the mind, the body, and the soul. Her personal philosophy is to “take care of what is sacred to us mentally, physically, and spiritually, freeing ourselves to live and be our most honest and authentic selves.”
"I have been taking Autumn's classes for years and she is ABSOLUTELY one of the best instructors I've ever had. She is a very experienced teacher, and it shows in the way she leads her classes, in the variety of poses she will challenge you to try, and in the general way she carries herself. Autumn is very knowledgeable about yoga and has helped me further my practice, both physically and spiritually; I always leave her classes feeling accomplished. She also has a ton of great playlists and is a genuinely nice and fun person to be around. I recently had the pleasure of taking her complete chakra series online and it really changed my whole quarantine experience. I HIGHLY recommend Autumn to any yogi hoping to further his or her practice."

"I’ve been a student of Autumn’s for about a year and half. Prior to that time, I had only taken a few yoga classes but was interested in building my practice - I’d always heard of the benefits of yoga but had not yet felt them myself. Despite my limited experience, I instantly felt comfortable with Autumn and her teaching style. She’s always considerate of the needs and wants of the class, asking if there are any specific areas we’d like to focus on or poses we’d like incorporated that day. Autumn’s classes appeal to yogis of all levels, as she offers modifications throughout the class to accommodate varying degrees of expertise and to encourage a challenge as one progresses. I appreciate Autumn‘s deep breath reminders and subtle adjustments where needed, as I always leave class feeling like I got the full benefit of each pose and stretch. One of my favorite parts of class is the final stretch and mindful breathing in savasana. Autumn’s voice is so calming and her music choice is always spot on. Autumn’s class is the perfect way to destress, refocus, and reset my mind after a stressful day. I always leave feeling calmer yet stronger. "

"I am extremely grateful for my teacher training with FlorYoga and Autumn. I started my training just in hopes to deepen my personal practice. I had no idea the transformation my mind, body, and soul would receive. I learned so much about myself under the guidance of FlorYoga and Autumn. I am incredibly honored to have studied under such a great soul. I will never go back to who I was before my teacher training. I was taught how to apply yoga to my life on and off the mat. I honestly think that's the most important part of a training. I am extremely grateful. My life has been propelled beyond my wildest expectations. I bow in honor of my experience. I even went back for more [teacher] trainings."
