Margie has a passion for peace. Her love of yoga began 17 years ago, back in her home town of St Louis, MO. After beginning a family, her practice became a valuable tool in managing stress. As her family grew, her practice grew from twice weekly to daily. As a mother of four she was empowered by the peace, energy and physical strength her yoga practice brought to her life and wanted to share that with her children and her community. She was inspired by Briohny Smyth, Gina Caputo, Beth Shaw, Dharma Mitra as well as countless yogis in her community. After completing her first teacher training she was hooked, and began a quest for more knowledge. Margie is a 500 HR RYT. Her classes bring mindfulness, movement and classic alignment into creative harmony, encouraging playfulness and optional challenges to make yoga fun for all levels.
Anica started her yoga journey 10 years ago after the birth of her second child. As a runner, she found
that adding yoga and weight training brought balance to her routine. She gravitated towards yoga especially because she found that practicing it gave her an opportunity to focus on mental as well as
physical health. After practicing for many years, Anica desired to learn more and share her practice by
becoming a teacher. While stationed overseas, Anica had the opportunity to complete her 200 HR CYT
by attending trainings in Italy and Germany. She had the opportunity to bring Yoga to a military community in Germany where it was previously unavailable. Anica is excited to become a part of the Concrete Yoga community and looks forward to learning and growing as a teacher here!

Sierra was taught breath work and meditation from her mother growing up. With that core foundation and her love for stretching she was drawn to yoga in 2012. She started her yoga journey in Tucson, AZ. In 2017 she decided to leave the nest and travel the east coast. This
brought her to Charlotte, NC. While she worked and traveled she continued to practice yoga. In
2018 she was eager to dive deeper into yoga and completed her 200 hour yoga teacher

Anaya first discovered the physical practice of yoga asana 12 years ago, but in 2015 while living in a yoga intentional community on the Big Island, she learned that yoga is so much more than the postures we practice on our mats. She learned about and participated in karma yoga - yoga
of action, bhakti yoga - yoga of devotion, and jnana yoga - yoga of knowledge. Then, in 2017, she read the book The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel Van Der Kolk. This is where she
learned that trauma is stored in the cells of the body, and the practice of yoga is an incredible
modality for releasing that stored trauma. Upon learning this, in 2018, Anaya completed her 200 hour yoga teacher training with an Ashtanga base that emphasizes alignment and spent the next year mentoring under a senior yoga instructor. She then completed her 300 hour yoga teacher training in 2019, with an emphasis on specialized yogic management to address health imbalances of an individual. Shortly after becoming a 500 RYT, Anaya received her trauma informed yoga certification. It has always been her passion to help people through their recovery
from emotional trauma and C/PTSD. She is also a certified Recovery Support Specialist. Yoga has been instrumental in her own process of recovery and it feels it has helped her to be a better mother, wife, and overall human being. Anaya is humbled and honored to serve others along their journey, too.

Suffering from low back pain for over 12 years, Haley tried everything to alleviate the pain. Later she was diagnosed with a herniated disc. In 2014, Haley began CrossFit to help her lose weight and after losing about 30 pounds, her symptoms did not improve. Her coach encouraged her to try yoga. What began as a way to alleviate pain, quickly developed into a way to relieve stress; her husband’s second deployment, an autism diagnosis for her oldest son & sinus surgery for her youngest son; all while living in Germany, away from family. Yoga changed her life in every way, from healing past trauma to lowering her blood pressure. Haley doesn’t only have a passion for the overall health benefits of yoga, but in teaching and encouraging others to better their own health and wellness. Haley has lost 80 pounds (so far), is a RYT 500 and has been teaching since 2015, a Level 1 CrossFit trainer and holds a BS in Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
