Supreme Peace Yoga & Wellness

Hillary first started yoga at a generic franchised gym in the
mid 2000s. Like a typical yogi, she wandered
away from yoga for awhile, focusing on strength-training and her
career. Her return to yoga happened
in 2016, when she started searching for more balance in life and
found Supreme Peace Yoga. She likes to
say that's when she really started to understand that yoga is far
more than a series of poses.
After being diagnosed with PTSD in late 2016, Hill's practice
and the loving environment of Supreme Peace
Yoga became central in her ongoing healing process. She was drawn
to complete the 200-hours Yoga
Teacher Training at Supreme Peace in 2017, during which time she
discovered her passion for sharing
the self-healing experiences of Yoga Nidra and Restorative Yoga.
Her ongoing passion is to share yoga
and mindfulness practices with trauma survivors, especially first
responders.

When not on the mat, Hill enjoys lifting weights, folding blankets
with love, and spending time with her
loving husband and their house full of fur babies.

I am enjoying my golden years
after retiring from the University of Louisville in 2018. My
interests include teaching hatha and chair yoga,
meditation/mindfulness classes and exercise classes for seniors.
 I am a 200 hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT), a certified
KORU Mindfulness Instructor and a SilverSneakers Instructor. I
believe that we are our best selves when our mind and body are
connected in awareness of the present moment. By bringing attention
to our breath we can inhabit our bodies in a mindful way, which
helps relieve much of the stress in our bodies.
 
Teaching Philosophy

Increase awareness of the breath and the body
so the mind can be in the present moment, which relieves
stress
Ensure safe alignment of poses with
modifications and adjustments
Encourage engagement of whole body for full
benefit of the practice
Offer
a variety of poses so classes stay interesting and
fresh
Provide all ages and abilities with opportunity
to build and maintain strength, increase flexibility and improve
balance.

I began practicing yoga in late 2010 when a friend invited me to
class. I showed up for the physical practice not really knowing
what to expect (yoga was for “other” people). I was the biggest
person in the class, but no matter how challenging it was (we had
no props), I kept coming back for something other than the physical
practice.

After being away from studio practice for a few years, upon moving
back to Louisville in 2015, I was pulled to the mat once again and
was blessed to find Jodie and Supreme Peace Yoga. I found that
“something else” again and now live immersed in asana and a
personal study of yoga principles and philosophy (with an emphasis
on the yamas and niyamas).

Off the mat, in my daily work with people with intellectual and
developmental disabilities as a Licensed Behavior Analyst, yoga is
often incorporated with the principles of applied behavior
analysis. Several times a week, you are likely to find me running
local and regional trails or races. Trail running is a form of
“moving meditation” for me, bringing me closer to nature and
knowing my true Self. I take what I learn on the mat onto the
trails to enhance my athletic abilities through increased
flexibility and strength…especially breathing!

Angie began practicing yoga in
response to chronic neck and shoulder pain, but quickly learned
that yoga’s benefits extend far beyond healing and strengthening
the physical body.  As
someone who struggled with severe stress and anxiety she was
pleasantly surprised to discover her yoga and meditation practice
helped her to become more calm and centered. As a result, she
decided to pursue teacher training and graduated from Eternal
Health Yoga’s 200 ryt program in 2010. 
Angie incorporates all aspects of
yoga into her classes including breath work, meditation, mantra and
yogic philosophy. She believes that yoga awakens something from
within that once recognized has the potential to help you better
cope with stress, pursue a healthy lifestyle, deepen your spiritual
practice and live more compassionately and mindfully with greater
appreciation and love for your life.  
Angie is inspired to live a full
and authentic life not only through yoga and meditation but through
celebrating the earth’s seasons and the cycles of the moon,
traveling, honoring sisterhood, howling with her pup, Reba,
spending time at her cabin and laughing every day.
