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!

"I first experienced yoga as a cool down exercise after ice hockey practices and games in Upstate New York. However, when I moved to Montgomery, AL and began practicing yoga regularly, I saw how much more there is to yoga and all it has to offer for the mind, body, and soul! The combination of strength, grace, and peace she feels through the asanas continue to both soothe and challenge me. This love and desire to learn more led me to complete my first yoga teaching training right here at Bandaloop in January 2021! I look forward to teaching and practicing yoga with all of you. "
