ANATOMY

RYT 200
Kasey started yoga during a time of many difficult life changes at the recommendation and support of a dear friend. What she found was herself: her physical strength, inner voice, and the ability to center herself and guide her own path. Kasey’s career has allowed her to connect with people by teaching them how to recover from physical illness and injury through physical therapy. Helping others to discover what their body is capable of and their own strength is the most rewarding experience.
