---

  After many years of prodding from her family md to practice yoga to deal with severe insomnia and anxiety, Penny stepped on her yoga mat in 2013 and from that very first yoga class she felt the tremendous healing effects in her body, mind, and soul.  The effects where so profound that in June 2016 she decided to train for her yoga certification, completing her 200 hour YTT in in the Kripalu Tradition on July 21, 2016 at Discovery Yoga in St. Augustine, Florida. A second 200 hour teacher training in the BKS Iyengar alignment based power vinyasa was completed in June 2018 under the leadership of Terri Shulman ERYT-500.  Penny’s first 200 hour teacher, Deva Parnell, was instrumental in the development of Kripalu Yoga and Kripalu Yoga Teacher Training, having trained over 2,500 yoga teachers.  Penny has also trained under and been influenced by Joe Barnett (senior student of Paul Grilley of Yin yoga), Terri Shulman (heated vinyasa flow and also the Chakra system) MyLinda Morales (restorative yoga) and Lakshmi Voelker (Lakshmi Voelker chair yoga). Penny is also certified as a group fitness instructor through the American Council on Exercise and a TRX group trainer.  Penny   graduated with her RYT-500 in August 2020 from Safe Yoga School and Teacher Trainer Troy Cox E-RYT-500. 

Penny's mission is to create a safe and sacred space where her students can bring balance within the body, mind, and spirit through the practice of yoga.  Her teaching style is gentle and nurturing, with a focus on Yin yoga, vinyasa flow, restorative and Hatha yoga.   She offers both online group and private in-person and virtual yoga instruction.
