Lori Love
A native of Tennessee, Lori Love took a circuitous path to become a yoga and Pilates teacher. She graduated from the University of Tennessee with a B.S. degree in journalism, and spent many years in property management, sales and marketing, and corporate training. She was introduced to the practices of yoga and Pilates in 2003 by Maria Garre while teaching spin classes. After reaping immeasurable physical and mental benefits for herself, Lori decided to share these practices with others through teaching. She is currently completing 200-hour yoga certification with Maria Garre through Shiva Rea’s teacher training program, and has studied with Shiva Rea, Stephanie Keach, Desiree Rumbaugh and Angela Farmer. Lori also received beginner and intermediate mat certifications from Power Pilates, and has completed System Level 1 training for apparatus. Lori’s classes are infused with fun, variety, and an appreciation for prose and poetry. It’s the people connections she makes through teaching that make her soul sing. When she’s not sharing yoga, Lori spends time with her three children ages 14, 12 and 9.
