Tia is also a member of the Forrest Yoga Teacher Mentorship Program.
“I spent my early 20’s making decisions in both my personal and professional life that did not serve me. I came to Raffa Power Yoga looking for a workout to compliment my exercise program of running and weight training, and what I found was a new way of living life. I immediately became hooked on the healing power that yoga had on both my body and mind. Yoga is such a healthy addiction that has brought both my personal and professional life to a healthy and happy place. Now that I am teaching yoga I am grateful to give the gift of yoga to my students. I am honored to be a part of the Raffa Yoga staff where I continue to learn as a student and teacher by working closely with Jane who has dedicated her time to help me with learning the Power style yoga and also working with Christine who is my Forrest yoga mentor. I look forward to continuing my path as both a student and a teacher here in this amazing community of teachers, students and assistants at Raffa Power Yoga.
