Bhavaani Deanna Gray, RYT500
Back pain from working on the computer lead Bhavaani to yoga. In 2017 Bhavaani signed up for a hot yoga teacher training to bring discipline to her practice. But what she received was so much more! She gained not only physical strength, but also mental clarity and spiritual connection. Yoga brought so much positive change in her life she was inspired to share what she learned. She knew teaching yoga was her path.
She studied the the authentic teachings of yoga from Gurudev Shri Amritji at the Amrit Yoga Institute in Salt Springs, Florida. There she earned 500-hours in Yoga Alliance certifications.
She is currently enrolled in the Amrit Institute’s 800-hour Yoga Therapy Certification. She’s excited to continue on her journey of transformation and hopes to inspire and support others who are on this path of self-discovery.
David Patterson, RYT200
Dave Patterson currently teaches Bikram Style Hot Yoga at Savage Yoga Studios. He has been teaching for several years and I am a 200 RYT .
He started practicing Hot Yoga in 2016 and after his first class knew he found something that was going to work for him. Having served as a Paratrooper in Vietnam and retiring from Law Enforcement he especially liked the physical challenge. The added benefits of the heat, more flexibility and the Personal satisfaction I began to experience as my Practice evolved motivated me to take Teacher Training. It has been a fulfilling decision. “Seeing students excited about their own practice is one of my biggest rewards.”
He has also taught Adaptive Yoga to fellow Combat Veterans and is a supporter of Exalted Warrior Foundation. In addition he is a Master in Daoist Chi Gong and Tai Chi.
