Sandy Palmer,RYT

Sandy's interest in yoga began in college. Her practice began with her first pregnancy and then restarted in the 1990’s. Upon cultivating her intention she started a serious journey towards becoming a yoga instructor in 2000. Sandy felt that it was important to practice and explore many paths of yoga before teaching it. She attended two introductory 50 hour teacher trainings in 2006.  Finally, in 2008,  Sandy achieved her goal of 200-Hour Instructor Certification in Satsang Yoga. Now she teaches private and group lessons in eastern Tennessee.

 Sandy holds a BA in General Studies and a Masters of Education in Early Childhood. She had an extensive career in the field of Early Childhood. During this time she was able to explore brain and body development and how this affects awareness and behavior. For almost 20 years she has trained adults in various aspects of early childhood, guidance & discipline, stress & relaxation and staff management. She combines this experience and knowledge of growth and development with her yoga practice.

Sandy Palmer lives in Seymour, Tennessee located between the Great Smoky Mountains and Knoxville with her husband, Shorty. She practices and teaches yoga at her home which is surrounded by trees and good people.
