Leigh Anne Neal Om Shanti! I am Leigh Anne Neal. My teaching is a harmonic blend of inspired alignment and creative vinyasa, and my classes are warm-hearted and full of spirit. I enjoy opening minds and bringing students toward oneness within themselves. As a yogi, my goal is to teach from a place of unbounded knowledge. This means incorporating many forms and styles in class to give the student what they really need, which may not fit into one “type” of yoga.

Lucy Curtis was thrilled to complete her 200 hour teacher training in 2008 with Leigh Anne Neal at Nirvana Yoga in Atlanta, GA. She believes that yoga has the power to transform the practitioner into a more whole, healthy, harmonious version of him or herself. Lucy's classes are encouraging and fun; a place where it's always appropriate to giggle (or cry) on the mat. When not practicing yoga, Lucy enjoys reading, engaging in record player dance parties, tutoring children, and watching crazy cats on Youtube. |

Evan Bodine |
In 2007, Evan found yoga and instantly fell in love. She realized that hatha yoga allowed for the creativity, spirituality, and individuality that were missing in her life. She graduated from the Nirvana School of Classical Yoga in 2009 with her 200-hour certification with Leigh Anne Neal. Evan teaches classes that create a challenging and warm vibration for the body, mind, and spirit to grow. Her classes are focused on increasing awareness of something new each time you step onto the mat. Yoga has the power to transform and heal in mysterious ways and she hopes to convey this to her students. She is delighted to share yoga with others and to watch practices deepen with open minds and hearts. |

Amy Rakestraw |
Amy fell in love with yoga several years ago and has since enjoyed deepening her practice and sharing her knowledge. Through Nirvana School of Classical Yoga she became a RYT200 Hatha instructor in December 2009, but doesn’t stray too far from her original passion of Iyengar yoga. She has a gymnastics and dance background, and enjoys all aspects of fitness (especially running outside on a sunny day!) With a playful manner and a warm spirit, her classes will challenge you, but remember: When the going gets tough, breathe, and smile; laughter makes anything easier! She is also certified in Pre/Post-natal yoga, is focusing on yoga therapy, and is currently pursuing her 500HR training. |

As a teacher she seeks only to guide the practitioner to the place their practice leads them while keeping them safe and inspired.
