Audrey
Audrey is our Hot Yoga teacher on Wednesday nights suitable for beginners and up.
"I first discovered yoga in college as an aid to help balance work, life and school. Fast forward a few years and the decision to deepen my understanding landed me in teacher training. I graduated with my 200hr teacher certificate and have been teaching for 6years now. Yoga is not just about the physical asanas, flexibility and balance. Of course, you will gain all of that but there is so much more waiting for you on the mat. As someone naturally prone to anxiety, yoga has helped me find peace and learn to love all the layers that make me who I am."
