Hey! I’m Raydene Salinas Hansen—you can also call me Ray.

I found my way to this work through my own body, not around it.

In 2005, a car accident changed everything. In 2011, spinal cord surgery changed it again. What followed—the recovery, the fear, the grief, the slow and nonlinear process of learning to trust a body that felt suddenly unreliable—became the foundation of everything I now teach.

Movement didn't just help me heal, it taught me that the body already knows the way. We just need to slow down enough to listen. Yoga, somatics, breathwork, and strength training weren't tools I discovered in a training manual. They were things I needed, that worked, that changed the quality of my life. I keep studying them because I see and feel over and over again what they make possible.

I've been teaching for over a decade, in New York City and on Cape Cod. I work with people 1:1 and in groups, in-person and virtually, weaving together yoga, somatic movement, strength, and functional breathwork into something that fits the person in front of me, not a program.

I also lead free and donation-based classes through In Community, a wellbeing initiative I founded on the belief that access to movement and healing shouldn't depend on what you can afford.

When I'm not teaching, you'll find me designing websites as RSH Design and mentoring yoga instructors.

I'm based on Cape Cod — and I'd love to work with you!

I teach from what I know in my own body—and from years of watching people come back to themselves in the same quiet, surprising ways I did.
