Yoga Teacher
Haley
Haley has practiced yoga on and off as a fitness routine since college, but began a regular yoga practice at the beginning of 2022 at Balance & Breath after injuring her knee as a long distance runner. She discovered that yoga not only helped her to physically heal, but also transformed her mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Yoga became a necessity in her life after developing a love for running and fitness, and the close community of teachers and students at Balance & Breath led her to become energized about the idea of teaching yoga to others. She received her RYT200 training and certification from the studio in 2022.

Haley loves a high energy yoga class, but is also passionate about helping athletes use yoga for injury prevention and recovery.

"I find the most joy out of seeing a person's movement patterns, listening to their goals and walking alongside them until they succeed. You can laugh, cry and be yourself. My twenty years of Pilates teaching experience,comprehensive certification through Balanced Body University, and a colorful array of continuing education courses has taught me that everyone walking into the studio is someone capable of health and healing.
