HANNAH
JACKSON
Founder/Instructor P-RYT 200, YACEP
Hi! I'm Hannah, Chief Yoga Officer and instructor here at Bandaloop. I began practicing yoga regularly at Inversion Yoga in Jackson, WY in 2013. There, I took my first teacher training. At the time, I was in a rough spot in my life. And yoga helped me. Yoga taught me how to feel what I was feeling and to move through those feelings with grace and acceptance. It changed my life, how I treated myself and others. Several years later, when my husband, James and I moved to Montgomery, I opened Bandaloop Yoga. A lot of life has happened in the 6 years we've been open. I had a baby and am now pregnant with another two. My love, awe, and appreciation for that time led me to my certification in prenatal yoga from the prenatal yoga center in NYC. (Reach out to me for privates!) And though a lot has changed, a lot is still the same. I love yoga. I love the instructors you'll read about here, and I love the community we are building! I hope to see you in a class soon!

LORI
SKOWRONSKI
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. Her second 200hr yoga teacher training was completed in 2024 with YogaFaith, a Christian Yoga Association. Lori's life is full and blessed with a great family including her husband, 4 children, 7 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.
