Renee began practicing yoga 20 years ago in Manhattan and began teaching upward of a dozen classes a week in 2017. Her training includes a 200 YTT,  yin yoga teaching certification, and numerous workshops, focused trainings, and her work at Yoga Journal with an array of teachers. She finds that writing, editing, and practicing yoga each come back to an underlying search for and awareness of truth.
