Courtney first came to the mat in 2009 when a friend recommended that she try yoga as a way to ease pain from a lower back injury. Over the years, she noticed that her body felt healthier and stronger through her practice, but also came to appreciate (and depend on) the meditative aspects of yoga.

Courtney completed Tranquil Space's 200 hour training in December 2016, and then went on to complete her 300 hour training in June 2018. (Her thesis was on yoga and the lower back.)

Courtney primarily teaches vinyasa yoga classes, offering an encouraging and nurturing environment in which yogis can deepen their practice and benefit from hands-on assists. She guides students through creative, rigorous sequences, providing the space for students to safely explore their edge.

Off the mat, Courtney has a PhD in Educational Psychology from the University of Maryland and is currently an assistant professor of elementary literacy education at Illinois State University in Normal, IL. Given complications with the pandemic, she currently teaches private online yoga classes.
