Tina Phillips

Tina is a mother of three, and the proud grandma of two beautiful little girls. She earned a M.S. in education, and is a certified and licensed speech language pathologist and discovered the joy of yoga 20 years ago while trying to get back in shape after the birth of her youngest child.

​

She practiced using tapes in her living room in hopes of achieving the lean "yoga body" she had seen in magazines often fast forwarding through the relaxation and centering portions of the videos. It wasn't until Tina started taking classes at the Himalayan Institute, and couldn't hit the fast forward button, that she realized the many benefits that yoga provides not only in the physical body, but in our emotional and energetic bodies as well. Tina wanted to share my passion for yoga with others, so she enrolled in the teacher certification program, and became a certified instructor in 2012. Since then she has taught in a variety of settings including the Himalayan Institute, Amherst Center for Senior Services, chiropractic office, community education, and private sessions.

​

Tina began cycling at World Gym 5 years ago, and immediately fell in love with the intensity and the energy the class provided. She ultimately decided to take the Instructor training through MADD DOG Athletics.

​

Aside from exercising, she enjoys camping, hiking, hopping on the back of her husbands Harley, and relaxing with family and friends, and morning walks with her bulldogs Beau, and Sophia. What a great and sloppy way to start the day.
