Rebecca Carey
Rebecca’s first experience with yoga was as a young girl practicing along with her mother’s VHS tape at home. The second introduction was through a few group yoga classes at the local gym while attending college. These early yoga experiences must have planted seeds and it was after graduating college that Yoga officially took root in Rebecca’s life and bloomed into something much larger. She discovered that practicing Yoga could leave her feeling physically and mentally refreshed and rejuvenated. She also realized the benefits of a Yoga practice extended much deeper and discovered the profound spiritual blessings inherent to Yoga. She fell completely in love and continued on a path to explore and expand her practice and knowledge of this wonderful way of life. After years of practice and filled with a strong desire to share the benefits of yoga with others, she completed her 230 Hr. Teacher Training at the Asheville Yoga Center in North Carolina under the guidance of her teachers, Stephanie Keach and Shala Worsley in early 2010. In 2014, she completed the additional 300 Hr. Advanced Yoga Studies program at the Asheville Yoga Center and earned her 500 Hr. Certification. She is incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from such amazing teachers through the course of her trainings and to have studied a wide and in-depth array of yoga styles and teachings. In 2019, Rebecca graduated Volunteer State's Physical Therapist Assistant program and is now a licensed PTA.
Rebecca's teaching style is influenced and inspired by an eclectic blend of hatha yoga traditions. Her classes are blends of creative Vinyasa, Yin, and Restorative. She also has training in Prenatal Yoga, Yoga for Seniors, and Yoga in a therapeutic approach, and more. Her classes balance the range of physical intensity from dynamic to restorative to allow all students to explore their own unique yoga practices. Rebecca’s classes create an open, nurturing environment for students to explore their practices with creativity, strength, and freedom. She views Yoga as an art and science to address all the layers of our human system, from the physical to the spiritual, and teaches in a heartfelt way to allow her students to feel guided and supported while creating awareness and balance. She always encourages her students to move and breathe mindfully, to create space externally and internally, and to dive deeper into their own Self study to explore more fully the connection to truth, wisdom, and light held within us all.
In 2014, Rebecca also completed the Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) Yoga training and she leads these fun, refreshing Yoga classes on Percy Priest Lake in the warmer Spring and Summer months. She also teaches Intro To SUP classes for those looking to learn about SUP and paddling technique without the Yoga. Rebecca is World Paddle Association Class 1, CPR, & First-Aid Certified. All SUP classes are offered through Nashville Paddle Co.
She is a graduate of the University of Tennessee with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry, Cellular, and Molecular Biology.
She was a lululemon athletica Nashville Ambassador from 2012 to 2014.
