My yoga and wellness Journey STARTED...
in college at UNC Asheville - there were free yoga classes offered to students. Yoga was something I had heard of, but never had the opportunity to try. As a student athlete, yoga taught me a new sense of mindfulness and calm never before experienced. It helped me excel on the court and in the classroom.
After graduation, I worked in a corporate office, clocking 40+ hours a week in front of a computer. Demands were high, culture was low and the environment was anything but calm, positive, or encouraging.
After work Yoga became my escape: my way of staying calm and healthy in a stressful work environment. Although nothing about my current position changed, soon after starting a regular yoga practice, I began showing up to work in a better mindset. I was happier and ready for the daily tasks. I felt less overwhelmed and stressed and negative. Noticing this shift, I felt called to bring yoga, mindfulness and wellbeing to the workplace so that all employees can show up as their best selves. I quit my job and enrolled in a 200 hour Intensive Yoga Teacher Training at Savannah Yoga Center to begin my journey toward bringing wellness to the workplace.
Yoga Nut started out as a corporate yoga company, dedicated to teaching yoga and meditation at conferences, meetings and during the work day. Although I loved teaching yoga and providing a safe space for staff members to move together, I felt like I wanted to offer more.
Fast forward a few years, and upon completion of my Masters in Public Health, I took Yoga Nut a step further and expanded our offerings. We now provide Corporate Yoga, Worksite Wellness programs + a Virtual Membership of on-demand yoga, breathwork and meditation sessions. Our Workplace Wellness programs provide community and belonging, build company culture and teach tools for improved stress management and wellbeing.
It is my daily passion to bring yoga and wellness to working adults so you can live well!
