Holly Downs
I am the daughter of a fighter pilot father and a homemaker/dental assistant mother, so it’s easy to see where I get my love of adventure and my love for nurturing others, both of which play an important role in my yoga practice.
My sister-in-law got me to go to BeneFIT and try a Bikram Yoga class back in 2014. I found a place and a practice that harnesses my adventurousness while calming my mind. The heat, the humidity, the sequence, and the ability to focus inward made me instantly fall in love with the practice and especially the people. The BeneFIT community became my home away from home.
My passion for yoga and for nurturing others made teaching a natural next step, and I started my training in 2020. The ability to share my love of the practice is an honor and my hope is that students take something special away from each of my classes, whether it’s a rejuvenated approach to their day or an adjusted approach to a specific posture.
My husband and I live with our two amazing children in Austin. I am filled with gratitude for this journey and look forward to seeing you in the studio to practice together with calm minds and open hearts.
