Dawn did yoga off and on all through college but did not have a consistent practice until a few years later. She rediscovered the benefits of yoga, because it helped her with rock climbing.

Finally after consistently practicing for 2 years, she decided to take the plunge and get her RYT in the spring of 2014 in Charlotte, North Carolina at Y2 Yoga. She uses styles from many different types of yoga. “I love teaching students how to appreciate every aspect of their practice, and it is so inspiring watching each student’s practice grow and transform.”
