Faith Hunter entered life with a passion for movement, beauty, love, and soul freedom. In her quest to share her passions and eclectic yoga teaching style, Faith incorporates her southern upbringing, yoga philosophy, modern mystical sounds, and the purity of breath. Her approach is fun, devotional and inspirational, and it dances with the Divine as she plays with the balance between fluid asana and stillness, form and formless, gravity and lightness. Formerly trained at New York City's Laughing Lotus Yoga Centerand a practicing yogi since the early 90s, Faith is an experienced and highly skilled instructor whose subtle connections in the body, breath, and spiritual symbolism draw you more deeply towards the experience of soul freedom. Faith is influenced by her Louisiana roots, Ashtanga, and postures and spiritual influences from Native American, Indian and Egyptian practices. As an advanced yoga instructor, Faith infuses the principles of shraddha (faith), ishvarapranidhana (surrendering to the Divine), nada (sound), and ashima (endless/without boundaries) into each class.

Faith has been called “Spiritually Hip” as she invokes the Divine in her teachings, and each day she encourages her classes to embrace life with passion!  She is also the co-owner of SHAKTI MindBody Studio located in Washington, DC, the Director of the Shakti Yoga Teacher Training Program, freelance writer, and a yoga podcaster.
