Renee Fussner, founding instructor

Prior to becoming a yoga instructor Renee was a flight attendant, where she took advantage of her opportunity to practice yoga all across the country.  When it came time to trade in her wings for bare feet, she knew exactly where she needed to go.  Renee completed a 200 hour intensive teacher training under the instruction of Debbie Williamson.  Debbie gave Renee the tools and confidence needed to succeed.  Still, always the student, Renee continued to learn, getting certified as a teachers assistance which centers on alignment and adjustments, a certification that Renee believes is instrumental to safely teaching a class.  Continuing her path as a student/teacher Renee also completed teacher trainings with Jonny Kest and Rolfe Gate.  As well as studying under Gregor Singleton, Dharma Mittra, Anna Forrest, Baron Baptiste and many more.  You may have run into Renee at a Yoga Journal conference where she can't really say she works, she can say she learns there.  What she learns at the conferences she brings back to the studio, keeping her classes fresh, fun, and challenging!
