Background
Raleigh discovered Bikram Yoga and Inferno Hot Pilates in 2019 in her college town, Milledgeville, GA. She fell in love with Pilates; 8 months after her first class, she attended IHP training by Gabby Walters in 2020 and began teaching immediately. After earning her IHP certification, she felt that it was time to try yoga again, and that time it stuck. She’s been practicing 26&2 Hot Yoga since and earned her 200-hour certification at Be Hot Yoga in the fall of 2022. She also is certified in Reformer Pilates “Slow Resistance Training,” and as a Yoga Rishi.
