Hannah came to yoga in her teens, and more consistently in her 20s, often finding solace on the mat during difficult moments. With a background in competitive gymnastics, Hannah eventually pursued a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Exercise Physiology from Appalachian State, and later a career in Massage Therapy.
