✨ TEACHER SPOTLIGHT: Meet Crystal Epps ✨
Crystal found yoga during one of the most stressful seasons of her life at the height of COVID—and it quickly became a true lifesaver. The practice grounded her, and the community carried her through.
A proud 2024 graduate of Hot Yoga Plus Teacher Training, Crystal may call herself a “newbie,” but she’s been teaching for 8 months and already making a meaningful impact. You can unwind with her Sundays at 5:30pm in her Restore & Renew class (restorative yoga) or catch her subbing Power Flow classes.
Her favorite pose? Handstands—currently a work in progress 💫. Until then, she loves Triangle Pose for the soothing release it brings to her lower back.
Outside the studio, Crystal is diving into podcasting and loves experimenting in the kitchen with cooking and juicing. Fresh watermelon juice is her favorite drink (counting down to watermelon season 🍉).
Fun fact: While she may seem calm and centered, she has some serious extroverted energy when she’s around family and friends. 💫
Be sure to say hello to Crystal and catch her on the mat this Sunday evening. 🤍
