I am RYT-200 certified & have been teaching yoga for 15 years. My multifaceted International approach is based on the studies of Tantra, Kundalini, and Vinyasa yoga, as well as a passion for dance, psychology, and conscious relating.
In class, you will be invited to connect deeply with yourself, shine out your authentic expression, and open every part of your body in the most natural way. My most popular offerings are Women’s Circles & Studies, Partner and Acro yoga, Chakra Alignment, Yoga and Essential Oils, Corporate and Personal Wellness (Nutrition, Movement and Stress Release).
I am a Realtor when I'm not teaching yoga and wellness, and I love helping people move into a new home and a new life. As an MBA graduate with a 15 years career as a Senior Economist, I know the numbers and how to win on your behalf. And, this creates a unique strength in helping people navigate the emotional journey everyone inevitably goes through when making such an important decision.

Brittany Hill
Hi my name is Brittany Hill, I am a 200hr RYT certified Yoga Teacher. I have been in my personal practice since 2016 and have been a teacher since August 2022. I started my Yoga Teacher Training to deepen my personal practice and then fell in love with teaching for the community.
Originally from Florida, I have lived in Charlotte for 3 years now, immersing myself in the local yoga scene and connecting with the community. I am a Graduate Student of Chakra Flow University.
It is important for me to bring and share the Yoga Philosophies into the classroom. I wholeheartedly believe that yoga is more than just a physical practice - it's a way of life. I incorporate this philosophy into every aspect of my teaching, from the asanas to the meditation and pranayama practices.
Whether you're a seasoned yogi or a newcomer to the practice, I welcome you to join me on the mat and experience the transformative power that yoga can offer you. Yoga is a lifelong journey and it is never too late to start that journey.

Nate Tinney
I have been teaching yoga since 2018 and practicing since 2017. One of the many things I love about teaching and practicing is the opportunity to learn. I enjoy showing students what they are capable of physically, mentally and spiritually. My goal in life is to be a student and then share that knowledge with others so that we can all grow and expand.

Kristin Stevens
I am a yoga teacher, Psych-K facilitator, co-collaborator with Spiritual Expansion, healthcare provider, pet mama, animal lover (furry kinds and the scaly kinds), botanist, alchemist (I've been brewing my own kombucha for a year now!) and so much more. I have been practicing yoga for over eight years, and leading classes for three years. I decided to complete my yoga teacher training (YTT) in 2020 so I can share my love and passion of yoga to all. The word ‘yoga’ is derived from the Sanskrit root meaning ‘to join’ or ‘to unite,’ forming a union between mind, body and spirit. Yoga is about taking the lessons you learn on the mat and apply it to the real world. This is how you shift your reality and where the magic happens.

Danielle Glover
Danielle began practicing yoga in 2013 as a way to alleviate arthritis, anxiety and PTSD. In January 2020, she took a leap of faith to go to Costa Rica for a fully immersive 200 hour YTT with Infinite Source Yoga. Her devotion was elevated through daily asana, high vibrational natural foods, myofascial release, astrology courses, as well as traditional plant medicine ceremonies and other physical and energetic healing modalities. She currently lives in Charlotte, NC with her beloved dog, Billie Holiday and works as a Mental Accountability & Stretch Coach, as well as holding space at local events and for private sessions. Most recently, she is studying Reiki, and continues to deepen her practice and studies as a lifelong student of the Divine.

Ashley Tisdale
I am a board-certified music therapist and accredited drum circle facilitator working in the greater Charlotte area. Over the last 10 years, I have facilitated drum circles and taught several continuing education courses on basic percussion playing skills and facilitation techniques in North and South Carolina. Over the years, I have attended workshops through Village Music Circles (VMC) to refine my skills as a facilitator. In February of 2021, I completed my certification requirements as a VMC Global Drum Circle Facilitator Trainer - making myself one of only a dozen VMC Global Trainers in North America!
Every drumming event I facilitate, there is a question that is asked and answered: "What can I do to serve the circle?". In watching the group's connection, listening deeply to the rhythms at play, and feeling the energy of the group, I facilitate the circle to take them on their own rhythmical journey, to elevate the group's musicality, and deliver them to their own rhythmic bliss. Music and rhythm have always been a part of my life, and I am excited to share the joy and empowerment that it can bring with all of you!
