About the Teacher:

I’m Casey Gainey, an art-loving yogi that lives in a small town in South Carolina. While I’ve always been drawn to creative projects, I didn’t find yoga until 2016. I was living in Savannah, GA, and found myself in a “hot yoga” class. Funny story- I had no idea what that meant and didn’t even have a water bottle with me. Needless to say, I left drenched in sweat but with a smile on my face. I’ve continued to chase that feeling ever since, just not the hot part.

However, it wasn’t until I started blending my morning art practice with yoga and meditation that something really clicked within me. I realized that moving my body helped me to get out of my head. I saw that I was able to express myself with more creativity when I wasn’t overthinking the process. And I found the more I practiced the two, the faster I was able to get into a flow that tapped into a higher power.

In short, I discovered a way to reconnect with my true self and God.

I continued to learn more about yoga while also teaching art and creativity to anyone that would listen. Upon returning to my hometown in 2019, I found a new yoga studio, Our Sacred Space Yoga, and started on the path to becoming a yoga teacher. My training was completed in October 2020, and I became a 200hr Registered Yoga Teacher.

My hope is to combine these two distinctive elements, creativity, and yoga, into classes that help you access your inner world. From there, you can cultivate practices that help you feel more centered, grounded, and like your true self.
