I had been practicing yoga for only a couple of months when a friend brought me to Shiva Shakti for the first time in 2024 and WOW!!! What an amazing experience. I loved the challenging nature of the heated room and the way the teachers were so supportive of my practice. That first class was just the beginning of a dedicated practice that has completely transformed my life.

I showed up to Shiva Shakti in rough shape due to my background of hard manual labor. I was suffering from constant aches and pains and a very busy mind. As the owner of a small organic farm in the hills of Franklin County, I still work my body hard, but with new vigor that I attribute to my yoga practice. With a new sense of body awareness and a meditative mind the work is not painful anymore and has become enjoyable again.

After completing the 2025 teacher training with Brandon and Naima at Shiva Shakti, teaching feels like such a natural progression of my yoga practice. I'm so excited to share this practice with the Shiva Shakti community and be a witness to the growth and transformation of my students.
