Courtnay was first brought to her mat at Innerlight in 2002. She remembers leaving her first yoga class with Kim and asking how soon she could return. From that point Courtnay recognized yoga as her home. She was living in Arizona and began working at a large studio that housed 50 teachers of varied traditions. An eager student, she took full advantage of the resources while becoming a student of their Anusara yoga school.

Courtnay then followed in the foundation of her initial yoga experience at Innerlight. In 2003 she moved from Arizona to Kripalu to receive her 200-hour teacher’s certification and now lives in Newport studying Holistic Counseling. She believes yoga can serve in the divine healing process for all individuals. Courtnay’s classes offer a creative and invigorating flow sequence. During your practice she will lovingly guide you in releasing your emotional and physical tension and will support you in energetic and spiritual release. Courtnay believes all individuals have their own unique wisdom inside of them. Through class she encourages students to unearth that wisdom in order to reach their full human potential
