Sandi Russom

Sandi moved to Austin from sunny Tennessee where she was introduced to yoga in a theatre class while fulfilling her bachelor degree in Theatre at Rhodes College in Memphis. She soon began to take classes at the local YMCA and Midtown Yoga Studios. “I started with one class a week; and after a month, I started to notice that problems I had been facing for years were beginning to work themselves out with ease.” She knew that she was to become a teacher and help others find the same physical comfort and peace of mind.

To direct awareness to both the physical and subtle bodies, Sandi incorporates asana (postures), pranayama (breath work), dhyana (meditation) and restorative techniques into her classes. She combines different lineages of Hatha Yoga to meet the needs of her students and encourages students to find their own path of practice by knowing their limitations and then safely moving through them.

Sandi has completed Yoga Yoga’s Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Levels 1 and 2, Prenatal Training, and is a Licensed Massage Therapist. Currently, she is pursuing Advanced Studies at Yoga Yoga with Mehtab, Guru Karam, and Lori McDougall.

A Tennessee girl at heart, Sandi loves living in Austin and spends her time practicing yoga, gardening, hiking, sewing, cooking, and laughing.
