Josiane Adler, RN, RYT - For Josi, practicing and teaching yoga means fostering community, nurturing bodies, encouraging souls, and laughing and learning with like-minded individuals. She completed her 200 Hour Teacher training at Springs Yoga in 2011. Josi is a nurturer by nature, and by profession. After completing a degree in horticulture at the University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!), she moved from caring for plants to caring for people. As a flight attendant, Josi practiced grace under pressure, looking out for passengers' safety while pouring Diet Cokes. Seeking a career change - where she could build on her basic first aid and CPR knowledge and still wear a cute uniform - Josi decided to follow in Florence Nightingale's footsteps. As a Registered Nurse, Josi has helped people at all stages of life and is excited to now bring that medical background to her practice and instruction of yoga. Josi has practiced many styles of yoga over the past 16 years. She has found that her yoga practice keeps moving her to a deeper desire to grow and share her love for the practice. Josi's classes challenge her students to take their yoga beyond the mat. She blends alignment principles and core heart qualities that inspire mind, body, and spirit - along with some groovy tunes.
