BIO

Her classes incorporate alignment, flow, humor and a bit of yoga philosophy. To compliment her love of yoga, Pam is a holistic health coach who teaches nutrition/wellness related workshops to corporations.  When she is not teaching yoga or nutrition classes, she is probably loving on a dog or cat.
