Described as an energetic little firecracker, Jaclyn Normandie started her teaching career as a high school and university music professor, taught dance and voice lessons all through her youth, and has since turned her passion toward yoga and wellness. In 2019, she traveled to India for her 200 hour YTT at Kranti Yoga and spent 4 months living and teaching full time in Brazil. She is a member of the Path Program and Facilitator Training at Renegade Yoga Center in Knoxville, Tennessee, is a Reiki certified healer, and a meditation and pranayama instructor. She has a thriving personal business called Rising Phoenix: Yoga & Wellness which focuses on private training sessions and wellness guidance.

Heather is a certified safe space holder, earning her Y12sr Certification in 2019.

Y12SR “connects the dots” between the ancient wisdom of yoga, the practical tools of 12-step programs, and the latest research on trauma healing and neurobiology. As part of a holistic recovery program, it works in tandem with traditional treatment to address the physical, mental and spiritual disease of addiction.

The program serves people recovering from all manifestations of addiction, from behavioral addictions to substance abuse – creating a safe place on the mat where trauma can be released. It also supports those who are impacted by a loved one’s addiction.

 

Heather earned her 200 RYT certification in 2015 at a Baptiste inspired program in Knoxville. She quickly fell in love with yoga when she first attended a basic workshop with her mother who had been begging her for years to try yoga with her. Heather is eager to share all the amazing benefits of yoga with her students through Power yoga. She truly believes that yoga is healing in all aspects of life and that it is all about progression not perfection. Heather has found that yoga practice truly brought her out of the dark and saved her life. 

Yoga found Whitni Miller 4 years ago. She was seeking a way to claim her body back after having her son, but what she found was to claim back her mind. Whitni has been practicing under two mentors, both with dynamically different styles (Christina Gerdes /Viniyoga and Philip Clift/Ashtanga). She enjoys weaving their contrasts, the intention of linking breath, and with movement to find stillness. Her fascination with yoga sparks from the magic found there.
Whitni holds certifications as a NASM personal trainer and an animal flow level 1 instructor. Her daily practices are yogic on and off the mat. In October 2019, she completed the 21-month Path Program at Renegade Yoga Center and is, currently, enrolled in Philip Clift's facilitator training program. Outside the studio she enjoys hiking, rock climbing, and studying different movement styles.
