Jeanette

I moved to Oak Island in 2021 and immediately found the Rec Center. Mert and the Yoga Community (family) made me feel so welcome! I am honored to now teach and give back the love and energy. I believe Yoga is for everyone! It's not about the poses or what you can or can not do. It's about showing up. Being present. breathing and moving. Doing what you can.

Practicing since 1996 and teaching since 2010- yoga brings me home over and over again. I want to share that and empower people to find their yoga. I became certified to teach yoga in 2010 at Asheville Yoga Center under Stephanie Keach, Joe Taft, Shala Worsley and Michael Johnson. It cracked my world open. Over the past 10 years I have been dedicated to my practice and continuing education.
