For many years, I was drawn to yoga as an exercise.  After the birth of my second son in 2005, I felt yoga would be a great way to get back in shape.  The physical benefits were great, but additionally it helped me with anxiety and stress.  I began to make yoga a priority in life.  With a regular practice my body started to transform.  I can relate well to yogis that were not born with flexibility, but I am a testimony that over time the body can change.  Yoga has taught me how to settle my thoughts and breathe well.  What I have learned on the mat I use in my everyday life such as breath control, living in the present, and non-competiveness.

I wanted to learn more about yoga and be able to share this with others, so about two and a half years ago I started my 200 hour teacher training with Lizzy Hoffman.  I am so glad I made that decision.  It fills me with joy to bring peace to others and watch their practice grow.  I have enjoyed teaching on a regular basis and I take additional trainings and workshops when I can.  I also completed Yahweh Yoga training and have a passion for teaching Christian yoga.

My husband and I have two very active boys, ages nine & six.  He retired from a nine-year career in the NFL.  During that time we moved around a lot, but are happy to be settled in the Southeast Huntersville area.  Teaching and practicing yoga is what I enjoy in my spare time. It is a journey that I am truly thankful for.

“Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, is there is any excellence and there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things… And the God of peace will be with you.”  Philippians 4:8

I took Chante's Yahweh yoga class this afternoon and I just wanted to let you know what a fantastic class it was. Between the music and Chante mixing in scripture readings that matched perfectly to her class intention for this particular day (PEACE) it was a perfect union. The atmosphere created for a very powerful practice for me personally on several levels!  It was truly wonderful ~Nancy
