Instructor of the Month - Peyton Wilson

What brought you to yoga? 
What brought me to yoga? I am an actress and instructor for the performing arts for many years.  Along this path, learning to use the science of yoga came naturally to me.  As an instructor  of improvisation and acting, I have bridged the two sciences of the art of performance and yoga into my company, Yes And Yoga. 
What is your approach to teaching? 
My approach to teaching?  Interesting question.  My style is very…me which I admit is quirky and tangent but for only educational reasons.  I see what is needed at the beginning of class and then go from there.  I want my students to find space they didn't know they had and leave my class relaxed but eager to research what was mentioned during the practice. 
Why do you choose to teach at 5KY? ​
I am extremely delighted to teach at 5KY.  This is a pure Hatha studio in Chicago.  You want to learn yoga?practice here.  I consider myself lucky to instruct here. 
What makes your soul sing?  
 What makes my heart sing?  Knowing that as I exhale that the Universe is breathing me in and vice versa.  The present moment.  It all comes back to the breath.  Oh, and I still love my teenagers who give me no end of apathy for now.  I can find the love in the apathy.  Find the love. ​
