A life rooted in practice

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. He began his journey over three decades ago with meditation, learning that consistent, mindful breathing and body stillness foster deep self-awareness. His path expanded to a 20-year Qigong practice — a set of movements created to optimize energy within body, mind and spirit. In 2017 he travelled to Rishikesh, India, where he completed a 200-hour yoga teacher certification. His martial arts training includes the Tactically Unbeatable Fighting (TUF) System and Taekwondo, adding 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 in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. He teaches in-person private sessions and online sessions, provides guided meditation and yoga to corporate wellness programs and community organizations, and leads wellness vacations to Ghana, Upstate New York and Costa Rica.
