200-Hour YT

Troy is the founder and owner of Shala Yoga & Wellness Services.  He is a 200 hour certified yoga instructor and has been actively involved in the health and wellness industry for over 12 years.  Troy's physical disciplines began as a young athlete and have carried through to the present day.  Along the way he competed as a collegiate track and field athlete, earned degrees in Kinesiology (Exercise Science) and Sport Psychology from the University of Northern Iowa, earned certifications as a USA Weightlifting Coach, ACSM Health Fitness Specialist, Chapman Institute Level 1 WellCert, and of course 200 Hour Yoga Teacher.  Troy has prioritized his own physical and mental well-being through it all.  His education and experience in the exercise sciences lends greatly to his instruction style; with an emphasis on proper physical alignment and safe movements, Troy's classes are accessible for all skill levels, but especially beneficial for those newer to yoga. 

Outside of yoga Troy enjoys weight training, getting out into nature and sunshine, sipping a freshly-brewed cup of coffee, walking or lounging with his dog, and spending time with loved ones.
