Kim Tierney

Kim first tried a deep stretch yoga class while she was a freshman at UNCA. Her curiosity in yoga led her to Michael’s hot vinyasa class. She remembers lying in savasana, covered in sweat thinking, “what just happened?! That was incredible.” She was hooked! She began practicing yoga regularly, volunteering at ACY, and completed her first 250-hour yoga teacher training in 2015. She continued teaching and completed her 300-hour yoga teacher training in 2018 at the Rishikesh Yog Peeth School in Rishikesh, India.

After a few years away, she’s grateful to return to teaching at ACY and offer classes that mix breath work, creative flows, good music, and not taking yourself too seriously.
