HANNAH

JACKSON

Founder/Instructor P-RYT 200, YACEP 

Hi! I'm Hannah, Chief Yoga Officer and instructor. I began practicing yoga regularly at Inversion Yoga in Jackson,WY. There, I took my first teacher training. At the time, I was struggling. I was heartbroken and confused and yoga taught not only how to feel, but that it was ok to feel, and how to move through whatever comes up.  It changed my life! Several years later, my husband, James and I moved to Montgomery, I began teaching yoga at several places in town. My dream was to open a yoga studio of my own. When everything aligned to make that happened, I took a leap, and here we are. It is a dream that's become my reality to take classes from these awesome instructors you'll read about here, and to teach what I love to all of you. I love yoga, and I love the community we are building here! I hope to see you in a class soon!

LORI
SWORONKOWSKI

Instructor, RYT 200

Lori started practicing yoga consistently about 6 years ago. Her goals then were to strengthen and heal her body and to age well. Several different instructors influenced her practice and style. She started her journey in restorative yoga and eventually moved into Vinyasa style practices. As her practice continued to deepen, she realized she wanted more information and a deeper understanding of yoga. Lori completed her 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training at Bandaloop Yoga in 2021. Lori's life is full and blessed with a great family including her husband, 4 children, 6 grandchildren, and her mother and brother. She loves the beach, and if she's not exploring poses on the mat, she's traveling to explore the world around her. Join Lori for her Beginner's Yoga Saturdays at 9:45am at our Pike Road location.
