Tammy gave birth in the UK and was in active labor with her son Milo for 24 hours. Tammy credits her yoga practice prior to getting pregnant for getting her through such a long and arduous birth.
Tammy is a Senior Yoga Alliance certified Yoga Teacher & Therapist with over 1000 hours of training. She’s practiced yoga since the age of 14 and has been teaching for 8 years.
