Nancy Culpepper (Instructor)

I took my first yoga class right here at RFY in 2014. At the time, I was consumed with stress and anxiety from my teaching job, and a friend recommended that I try yoga. I was a little skeptical, but by the end of class I had fallen in love with the practice. Tears streamed down my cheeks during savasana, and I knew I had found just what I needed. I loved how strong the practice made me feel, but it was more than that, too. I immediately felt something change within me and I was hooked. Every time I step onto my mat, yoga helps me to love myself more deeply and guides me to my favorite version of myself.

I have always had a passion for learning and teaching. Soon after taking my first yoga class in 2014, I completed my 200-hour Vinyasa YTT at Kindness Yoga in Denver, CO. I am also a certified Yin Yoga Teacher and SUP Yoga Teacher. After having my son in 2023, I completed my 85-hour Prenatal YTT with The Flow of Life Yoga in Asheville, NC. I am thrilled to be a part of the studio where I took my first yoga class (hello full circle moment!).
