Tommye is originally from Overton county and moved back to the area in 2019. She is the spouse of a military veteran, which has taken her all over the world. She is excited to bring her love of yoga back to Cookeville. She has been practicing yoga on and off for many years. It wasn’t until she moved to California in 2012 and discovered Ashtanga that it really took hold. In 2016 she decided to formalize her practice by completing a 200-hour RYT program. In 2022, she achieved "Experienced" (ERYT) status, having accrued over 1000 hours of teaching.
She is registered with Yoga Alliance and holds a certification in Restorative Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, Subtle Yoga and Accessible Yoga. Additionally, she is currently completing a Yoga Alliance approved 500-hour advanced Yoga Teacher Training. Tommye is an ambassador with Accessible Yoga and enjoys working with local seniors.
Her passion is to help others discover their own power, whether physical or mental through yoga. Helping people find their joy and get back to themselves through mindfulness and relaxation techniques.
Yoga has provided her with an abundance of self-growth, mindful peace, spiritual healing and a more positive outlook on life. She’s positive it can do the same for you. She continues to educate herself, forever a student of yoga and life, growing in her yoga teaching and practice.
In her free time she loves being outdoors, gardening and spending time with her husband and three children. She believes there is a yoga for everyone and would love to share it with you.
