She attended Sivananda yoga teacher training in the Bahamas where she received her first 200 Hour RYT Yoga Alliance Certification. In November 2014, Terri completed her second 200 Hour RYT training at Yandara in Baja, Mexico where she later returned for an additional 300 Hour RYT in the December of 2018. Terri saw a need for a deeper understanding of offering yoga to parts of her community where trauma is common. She found the Veteran's Yoga Project and took and additional 15 hours Mindful Yoga for Trauma Recovery in Asheville, NC.in April of 2017. She offers trauma-informed yoga classes and meditation at Gateway and Harbor House which are both local drug and rehab facilities. During her more than 8 years of instructing, Terri has taught yoga classes all over the community. She believes that yoga should be available for EVERYBODY.
She is deeply tied to her community and works to give back in any way she can - currently she chooses a charity each month to donate a portion of class fees along with a weekly donation based yoga class to raise awareness and funds for the monthly charity. She loves that her path allows her the opportunity to help people feel more connected to themselves and their community. |

Kerri Garr
RYT-200, LMT~Thai Massage, Reiki Practitioner & Hypnotherapist
|
My first yoga class was 7 years ago and it took 3 years to develop into a daily lifestyle practice, but once it did my journey has been an amazing season of growth ever since. The transformation it has had on my own life led me to teaching. I received my 200 hr training at Yoga Gypsy University with Teri Honeysuckle. My passion is healing for the mind, body & spirit, and I absolutely love watching new students grow. I am a massage therapist, and hypnotherapist as well and I bring all my training into my sessions and classes. I am a very hands on teacher and my styles of teaching range from gentle, restorative to upbeat Vinyasa’s. I love sharing tools with people they can use to bring balance to their lives so they can live in the freedom of their true self! I am so grateful to all the people along my path that have taught me so much.

Jana Aydelott-Leeper RYT-500
|
Yoga has been a part of Jana’s life for nearly a decade, and has helped her overcome two serious spinal injuries, and the trauma of a life threatening experience while on active duty military. Jana has benefited greatly from practicing yoga during multiple pregnancies and throughout the postpartum period.
Jana’s classes are taught in a nonjudgmental and welcoming style. Her classes are focused on quality movement, joint health, and overall increased well-being. Classes are accessible for beginners while still providing a challenge for each individual student. A brief section of positive philosophy is included during class, but it is never dogmatic and completely optional. Jana’s classes implement the ancient wisdom of yoga philosophy in a simple and understandable format. The practices used in classes are rooted in the original tradition, but are geared toward modern understanding, biomechanics, and physiology. Props and modified postures ensure each student feels confident and comfortable, no matter where they are physically. |

This beautiful soul full of light and love began her yoga journey as a “closet yogi” for 2 years before making the bold move to walk into a class. A couple of years later she realized how deep her love was for the practice and began her journey into teacher training. She is passionate about the outdoors, her new beautiful daughter Everest and finding adventure in everything! She will love you, encourage you and challenge you.

Chloe' Mims RYT-200
|
Chloe’ Mims recently transplanted to Fort Smith in spring 2018 and was more than delighted to find a like minded yoga community, who think the benefits of yoga can and should be accessible to all.
Chloe’ happened into her first yoga class, as a collegiate golfer looking for exercise more suited to flexibility and balance. Though, it wasn’t until eight years later and walking into an Intro to Ashtanga class at Cherry Blossom Yoga in Houston, TX that she fell in love with more than the physical practice and found a love in all eight limbs of yoga. Wanting to share with all not only the physical, but mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits she experienced in the safest and most encouraging ways, she began her teaching journey in February 2017 with Ally Ford Yoga, an Ashtanga based teacher training in Shreveport, LA. In September 2017, Chloe’ was issued her 200 RYT Yoga Alliance Certification. She couldn’t be more excited to share her practice and passion with you. |
Robert Tyler Hutchens RYT-200

Hello, I am Robert Hutchens. I have been practicing yoga for 3 years now and received my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training certificate in August 2018. I first started yoga because I was suffering from a stomach condition called H-pylori. I was severely fatigued and mentally exhausted. Yoga helped immensely with my overall energy and digestive system. I became more energized than I had ever been and began to feel relief from my stomach condition. My initial practices were long, slow, and deep. I enjoyed the slow flow of yoga and desired its' steadiness . As my yoga practice developed, I discovered my joy for power yoga. Power yoga enabled me to not only challenge my body but also my mind. I look forward to sharing my passion for a powerful class and motivating others to reach beyond their preconceived notions of what their body can do.
