Story
Augustine is a meditation teacher, yoga teacher, Qigong practitioner, martial artist and co-owner of Greene Moments Studio in Brooklyn, NY. On a mission to bring tools for mental, physical, and spiritual wellness to his community and clients, Augustine draws from 30 years of experience in wellness practices.
Augustine began his journey over three decades ago with meditation, learning that consistent, mindful breathing and body stillness can foster deep self-awareness. His path expanded to include a 20-year Qigong practice, a set of movements created to optimize energy within the body, mind, and spirit, with the goal of improving and maintaining health and well-being. In 2017 he travelled to Rishikesh, India, where he completed a 200-hour yoga teacher certification. His martial arts training includes Tactically Unbeatable Fighting (TUF) System and Taekwondo, giving him a unique perspective on body mechanics, mental resilience and self-defense.
Augustine co-founded Greene Moments Studio as a sanctuary for self-care, community, and creative movement. Located in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, Greene Moments offers wellness, movement and fitness programs designed to support personal growth in mind, body and spirit.
Augustine provides guided meditation and yoga services to corporate wellness programs and to community organizations. He teaches in-person private sessions and online sessions. He leads wellness vacations and retreats to Ghana, Upstate New York and Costa Rica.
With a deep respect for traditional practices and a modern approach, Augustine will teach you how to combine stillness practices, mindful breathing techniques, functional exercises and body awareness movements to cultivate presence and build resilience.
He invites everyone to discover that it is possible to improve the experiential quality of one’s life by learning how to better adapt one’s inner thoughts, self perceptions and physical movements to everyday sitautions.
