Connie Raley, RYT-500, ERYT-200, YACEP began her practice of yoga in the late 1990’s. She entered her first yoga teacher training in 2012 in Los Angeles, California. Through her training, she discovered the necessity of building both strength and flexibility for the overall health and balance of her body, and how deeply that work penetrated layers beyond the physical. Her work, efforts, and struggles on the mat prepared her to better face the world off the mat, building patience and perseverance. Her intention in teaching is to guide others through their own physical and mental limitations to reach a deeper level of strength, resilience, and peace.
