Izzy Crespo graduated Magna Cum Laude from UIC in 2006 with a BA in English Education and continued on to her Masters in Curriculum at Loyola University. She always found a pull towards the teaching profession as she taught English as a second language for several years and even trained dogs at a dog training facility in Chicago. She has had influence from her father who loved exploring Buddhism and pruning bonsai trees as a form of meditation, and began exploring the field of yoga as a teenager. She has been practicing yoga for 20 years and felt her call to teach as she advanced in her asana and wanted to spread her love for mindful movement. She is married with four children and a PitBull named Zeus, and loves tending to her backyard finding peace in nature. She is excited to continue her journey in teaching through yoga and believes it can benefit all individuals in so many ways.
