Slade

“I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.”

—Thomas The Train Engine

Slade found his home in Richmond two years ago after relocating from Seattle, Washington. Upon moving to Richmond, he fully devoted himself to his yoga journey and recently completed his 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training at Midtown Yoga. 

Slade will soon begin his Master’s of Social Work program at Virginia Commonwealth University with the goal of working in direct practice with a specialization in substance abuse disorders. Yoga, breathe work, meditation, and movement have been instrumental in Slade’s own life and personal journey. As a yoga teacher, and in his future career, he aims to incorporate the powerful lessons that yoga offers to help others through their own journeys and healing.

While off of the mat, Slade enjoys biking, talking about bikes, and working on his bike. You can also find him cooking, gardening, hiking, or thrifting. Most of all he enjoys spending time with his partner and three cats named Ruth Anne, Beatrice, and Stink.
