Bailey is a North Carolina native who grew up in a small town in Western North Carolina. She made the move to Raleigh almost 12 years ago, and loves the city life that is offered here. She started practicing yoga at YoBa two years ago, and since joining the community has found a passion for movement and learning more about the body. Exercise hasn’t always been a favorite activity for her, but turns out she just hadn’t found the right type of exercise! She loves how yoga is a such a good active recovery for muscles, but also puts a strong emphasis on breath, stillness, and the mind.
From the first time Bailey attended class at YoBa, she knew it was a special place. The emphasis on movement being for everybody and acceptance of everyone just as they are drew her in. This atmosphere is what led her to pursue her YTT certification with YoBa in the fall of 2023 and then to pursue becoming an instructor. She loves getting to be part of such a supportive and welcoming community!
Outside of teaching at YoBa, you can find Bailey hanging with her labradoodle, Ellie, reading a book, exploring all of Raleigh’s vintage stores, and trying new restaurants.
