     Richelle began practicing yoga in 2006.  It was during that time she realized her yoga experience had truly begun during her childhood gymnastics and dance classes learning how breathing helped deepen the required stretches  Inspired by GET’N FIT members, She began her yoga teacher training with YogaFit and in 2007 started teaching Hatha & Vinyasa style yoga classes focusing on the mind, body, spirit connection.  As a result of her own practice and the classes she presents to her students, Richelle has discovered she feels the best and most like her true self when teaching or practicing yoga.  She strives to help students find that deep connection to their true self as well.
