Faith Jackson:

RYT-200

Faith could not imagine life without yoga, which she began practicing at fourteen. "Even when I didn't actually practice for months at a time, the gifts I had received from yoga were still a part of my life," she says. Faith is thrilled to be able to share yoga with others. She completed her teacher training at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Lenox, MA which she has long considered her spiritual home away from home. She is also a massage therapist and Reiki practitioner.  Visit her website at www.betweenbreathandbone.com
