Jackie Gladney has over 10,000 hours of teaching and studying experience. Some people say this makes her an expert but she feels like an expert beginner is more like it.
She is an ERYT 500, has completed 10 yoga teacher trainings and has facilitated 15. Jackie loves to create. She is the founder of DharmaCycle Yoga, a hot yoga, barre and cycling studio which she sold in 2018.  She is the founder of a Registered Yoga School and has created successful yoga, barre and cycle teacher trainings. She truly lives the yogic path and has a talent sharing it with her students. She geeks out about anything yoga; anatomy, alignment, sanskrit, history, philosophy and energy.  She has found that she has limitless energy for all things yoga. Many forms of meditation take years of diligent practice before you can feel any results.  That's just too slow for Jackie.  She loves energy work and yoga because you can feel instant results from practice and has dedicated her life to studying and teaching energetic and yogic techniques to beginners and very experienced teachers.
