Renee started yoga from a book when she was sixteen as a way to reduce stress and connect to her body. Her practice deepened in 2005 as she moved to Chicago and practiced Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga throughout the city. In 2010, Renee received her 200hr in Vinyasa Yoga and started teaching right away. She fell in love with meeting people from all walks of life who came together for the same reason: to grow, learn, and practice.
