Adventure-loving Tabatha Whitney, owner of CraVe Yoga, LLC & CraVe Yoga Mobile, hails from a little bit of everywhere. She was a professional modern dancer on the east coast, but found yoga after moving to the west coast at a turning point in her life when she lost 55 pounds by eating clean and practicing daily. Tabatha’s transformation sparked her passion for arm balances & inversions, and she offers her students the inspiration to make changes in their own lives. Her classes are imaginative, challenging & intensely fun!
Outside of yoga, Tabatha is a mother, artist, photographer, & avid snowboarder.
Tabatha offers “Feel The Burn” which is fun loving, challenging & uplifting. You will be encouraged and guided to take your practice on its own exciting journey and feel “Oh So Good” as you slip back into your busy day.
