Waterfall Yoga’s Origin Story

What is Waterfall Yoga’s origin story? How did we get here in North Alabama? If you haven’t seen the video of how I built the Waterfall Yoga Therapy community, have a listen! It’s a great story that I love to share and it has a good message.

Waterfall Yoga’s origin story begins born and raised in Kansas, military spouse of 20 years, Divine seeker, lifetime learner, and lover of my great home of Alabama. Learn more about me here. First, I fell in love with yoga in 2001 becoming a frequent practitioner in 2008 when pregnant. In 2014, I was told I should consider teacher training. In 2015, I graduated from teacher training and went on to be mentored by a retired military nurse who had just opened her studio with the tag “Yoga for every body.” Then, I became an aid for her Ayurvedic training.

With now over 400 hours of yoga teachings under my belt I started working with individual clients and loved watching these men and women grow and change as I had done. Upon receiving orders to Germany, we started the hunt for property in Northern Alabama. Finding the perfect property nestled in the Smokey Hills with a surprise – the origin story of the waterfall! We bought it before someone else could and thank goodness we did!

In Germany I worked alongside a physical therapy clinic teaching yoga to soldiers. Upon arrival back to the US I started researching yoga therapy schools, landing on Inner Peace Yoga Therapy.

After training for 2 years, I became a certified yoga therapist. In conclusion, we retired and moved to Alabama and now I get to grow and build my private yoga therapy and retreat business in the Huntsville area!
