Lydia

Lydia is passionate about helping  others to help themselves. She welcomes all folks to attend her classes, regardless of age, experience level, flexibility, skin color, and body size. Known for her soothing voice, creative sequencing, and light-hearted approach, Lydia’s classes are influenced  by her love for nature and the ancient teachings of yoga. You can expect breathwork, meditation, laughter, mindful movement, storytelling, and philosophy when you attend her classes.

Yoga found Lydia during her final  year of study at Indiana University in Bloomington. After several years of playing on the mat as a student, in 2012 Lydia attended Orbis Yoga’s 200 Hour Teacher Training in Louisville. After teaching over 1,000 hours from the time of her certification, she  received the title of Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher from Yoga Alliance (E-RYT 200). As owner of Fire Horse Yoga Studio in Jasper from 2017 to 2021, Lydia found a new place to share her love of yoga. She completed her 500 Hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Certification  (RYT500) from Asheville Yoga Center of North Carolina in March of 2020 and has now completed  over 2,000 hours of teaching yoga.

When she’s not on her yoga mat,  you will probably find this sweet yogini at the local farmer’s market, experimenting with a new dish in the kitchen, hiking, reading, listening to records, dancing, hula hooping, or looking for adventure with her sweetheart, Andy.
