“Yoga is a light, which once lit will never dim. The more you practice, the brighter your flame.” ~B.K.S. Iyengar

Payton first began practicing yoga about 8 years ago while looking for ways to diversify her exercise routine. Originally connecting to hot yoga, she immediately fell in love with the mind-body-soul connection she discovered through committing to her practice. Over time, she valued yoga more for the spiritual benefits rather than the physical ones. She felt called to the Root to Rise teacher training and obtained her RYT in Spring 2023.

As a teacher, Payton hopes to inspire students to connect with their bodies and sink into their practice while expressing themselves through movement. She strives to motivate students to challenge themselves while offering a welcoming and supportive environment.

Off the mat, Payton enjoys hiking, traveling, spending time connecting with nature and playing with her pup, Lucy.
