Layne Neville

I am trained as a school psychologist and worked in the public schools for 8 years before taking a leave from the profession to see to family obligations. I have always enjoyed pursuing fitness activities. In my early twenties I enjoyed aerobics and became certified as an aerobics instructor. Later, I began running and enjoyed running half marathons. When cross training for half marathons, I discovered yoga. I've been practicing yoga for 7 years. I have been providing informal yoga instruction to friends and family per their request for 2 years now. Witnessing the transformation in mind and body of myself as well as my students over the years, I have become increasingly passionate about yoga practice. Given the steadily increasing requests for instruction as well as my desire to learn more about yoga and improve my own practice, I realized the benefit of becoming a certified yoga instructor. I just completed my 200-hour certification program October 30, 2011. I have been formally employed as a yoga instructor since April, 2011.
