Cookie has been practicing yoga for over 15 years. In 2018, she decided to deepen her practice and complete a 200-hour training program through Community Yoga. Finding a new appreciation for the practice, she continued along a learning path to complete another 300-hour training program with Community Yoga in 2020. Teaching and learning new elements of the mind-body connection, and the power of the 8-limb path, she began to pursue a 1000-hour yoga therapy certification in 2020 through Pranayoga School in Fort Wayne, IN where she is currently completing these requirements. She strongly believes in the powerful physical, mental, and spiritual shifts that a personal yoga practice can give. When sharing a practice with her, expect to utilize breathwork, gentle postures, and meditation techniques. In her spare time, she enjoys time with family, crocheting, and dancing.
