Tammy and her parents moved to Virginia Beach in 1985. As the daughter of a Marine, she was used to not settling down in one place for too long, yet her family fell in love with the Hampton Roads area and began establishing roots. Virginia Beach has always felt like her home even while spending several years away serving in the Army and living in the DC area and Charlottesville.
It was in Charlottesville in 2016 where Tammy took her first kundalini yoga class under Crystal Oliver (Sohan Raj). She immediately felt a deep connection, and within a short period of time of continued practice she began to notice an undeniably positive shift in her life. Since then she has devoted much of her time to deepening her practice and in 2019 her endeavors included a RYT 220 teacher training under Jai Gopal Khalsa.
Having adopted a daily meditation practice, Tammy enjoys sharing the tools and techniques that has transformed her inner awareness, health and life. Her classes offer invigorating breath work, meditation and kriyas that will help you balance and optimize your physical and energetic bodies. She also offers Gong Yoga Nidra, a guided meditation that will take you into a deep state of relaxation by incorporating her voice and the use of the gong.
When not on the mat, Tammy is a wedding and portrait photographer and works alongside her husband. She also enjoys the great outdoors and trail running.
