October TEACHER of the Month: Hannah Keene

Hannah Keene

1) What brought you to yoga?

I was initially drawn to yoga as a way to deepen the connection to my own body and awareness. At first, I did not feel like yoga was for me but with the continued encouragement from a mentor to just "show up", I was able to truly open up to the endless possibilities the practice of yoga offers. It was not an easy path but one I am eternally grateful for. 

2) What is your approach to teaching?

As a practitioner of yoga, I am first and foremost a student who is constantly learning and evolving. My approach to teaching is through a psych-sensitive and trauma informed lens and student centered- my classes focus on students cultivating a sense of discernment and agency in their own  practice.

3) Why did you choose to teach at 5KY?

I feel very attuned to the mission and approach to the practice of yoga that Five Keys embodies. The first time I walked into the studio, it just felt right and I'm grateful to be here. 

4) What makes your soul sing?

Something that makes my soul sing is a cup of hot black tea on a rainy day, preferably paired with a good book!

You can find Hannah at 5KY on Fridays at 5:30 pm.
