Yoga Instructors in the U.S.

I discovered yoga in 2018, after a friend was diagnosed with preeclampsia and her doctor had recommended yoga. Initially we went in search of relief for her, but I too was greatly impacted by this healing practice. I had recently lost my grandmother and was unaware how much it was weighing on me. It was in this first class that I experienced great healing. I instantly immersed myself in everything Yoga. After a year of daily practice, self study, and dedication, I knew this was the path that I was meant to take.

The first teacher training that I attended was with Mr. and Mrs. Totman. After meeting one of their former graduates, I was so impressed with her skill and knowledge that I was drawn to their school. After taking a few classes with them, I knew that I needed to attend their teacher training. This was my first step towards making yoga my career, not just my hobby. I completed my 200 hour yoga alliance certification in 2018. Since then, I have taught over 200 hours in the Statesville area and continue my training as I work towards my 300 hour certification with Victoria Martinez.

For me, yoga is so much more than asana. So, in my classes I focus on recovery, through self-love, mindfulness, and community. When I found yoga, I was suppressing my grief in a way that I was not allowing myself to process. The movement with breath allowed me to slow my mind and truly be in the moment. The teachings of Yoga, reignited the higher energies within me, that even I didn’t understand. Book after book, class after class, I could feel the healing. We’re all recovering from something and I want to hold space for others to experience that healing.

Travis Kendrick is a Yoga Alliance certified RYT-500 yoga instructor teaching Vinyasa Flow, Slow Flow, and Hatha Interdisciplinary yoga, and also specializing in private and corporate yoga in Pittsfield, MA and the surrounding areas.

Travis has a passion for self-expression through movement. He earned his Master of Fine Arts in Directing from the University of California - Irvine and Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre from Point Park University's Conservatory of Performing Arts, and enjoys incorporating his theatre and dance background into the classes he teaches.

Travis likes to think of the yoga practice as a moving meditation - an opportunity to "dance" through the physical postures, exploring how movement translates internally by using the breath as a channel between the physical body and mind.

A Yoga Alliance certified instructor, he completed his Advanced Teacher Training with Frog Lotus Yoga International in Koh Samui, Thailand (studying under Vidya Heisel and Jennifer Yarro), and with Yoga Vida's Advanced Teacher Mentorship Program (studying under senior teacher Lindsay Hilscher). He completed his 200-hr yoga teacher training in 2010 with Frog Lotus Yoga, studying under Jennifer Yarro. He returned to Frog Lotus Yoga to be one of the lead teachers, assisting Jennifer Yarro with the Frog Lotus 200-hr certification. Travis has been a guest instructor for several yoga trainings as well, teaching workshops on finding your teacher's voice, sequencing, improvisation, and hands-on assists.

His comprehensive 200-hour and advanced teacher training at Frog Lotus Yoga included hands-on assisting work, meditation, chanting, breath work, proper sequencing, utilizing props, Sanskrit, anatomy, and yoga philosophy. He has taught in New York City at Yoga Vida, Yoga Union, and Stanton Street Yoga; for Frog Lotus Yoga in North Adams, MA; in Clarksville, TN at the Roxy Regional Theatre, Natalie's Dance Network, and Radiant Yoga; in Roanoke/Blacksburg for Uttara Yoga and In-Balance Yoga; as well as private yoga sessions upon request. He also teaches virtual yoga classes each week.

Founded by Suze Curtis in 1996, this time-proven, unique practice blends the power of asana with vibration. Practiced in 88-95 degrees, this discipline combines Power Vinyasa Flow with Organic Ultrasound© ~ internal tonal vibration.

The style incorporates breath, alignment, power vinyasa flow & warmth (room) with internal toning - a soft hummmmm during YIN stretches. The healing power of sound vibration is reflected in the hundreds of testimonies from our students over 15+ years.

Asana means "to-sit-with" (a posture). This very popular 75-Minute practice features "call-outs" - a strong foundation to ensure quality practice flow. Instructors have freedom to focus fully on all students -encouraging, guiding, adjusting, inspiring.

Students love that every class is consistent in sequencing, timing and instructor-attention.

Whether you desire to be challenged physically, relieve stress, or courageously face "your stuff" -you'll leave this practice glowing, stress-free & totally-energized.
