Annie began practicing yoga in high school as a lacrosse player and continued in college as a tool to help find balance and order in a new setting. After graduation Annie taught english in Seoul, South Korea for about a year and a half. This is where her passion for hot yoga began, yoga is a practice that has no boundaries and is practiced all over the word. Annie found solace on her mat and knew that it would always be a part of her life. After returning home and after a brief stint in Costa Rica she began working in the financial industry doing client development and marketing for a financial planner, but something was missing. Annie began working at UNC Charlotte in the Study Abroad office looking for that missing something. During this time she began her first training, and decided she was going to open a yoga studio. Two or Three years later Annie and John opened the doors to Yoga On Davidson, and have never looked back!
