TEACHER SPOTLIGHT ON TOM ☀️
Tom is living proof that it’s never too late to find your calling - or callings. He spent 36 years at the IRS, walks runways at Kansas City Fashion Week, acts in commercials and films, and creates the most welcoming space on the yoga mat. His story is one of courage, creativity, and never giving up on finding what’s right for you.
Finding His Way to Yoga 🕉️
Tom tried yoga several times over the decades - nothing stuck. Then he found IN Power Yoga. “I met teachers who were welcoming and warm and full of energy. They made me feel safe and comfortable. It was then that practice started to mean something.”
His Story 💛
At 60, Tom is one of nine kids with parents married 67 years. The shy middle child who spent 36 years at the IRS, finding his voice and confidence along the way. Now retired, he’s living his second act - acting in commercials and films, walking runways at Kansas City Fashion Week, and teaching yoga. “I knew acting would satisfy this creative need of mine, but I needed something physical. That’s when I found IN Power.”
He’s happily married to his husband Hollis with their Bassador, Tess. “I am so grateful that they both love me unconditionally and support me in my efforts to be a better person through acting and yoga.”
Favorite Pose 🧘
Shoulder stand - “I like the reverse of standing on my feet. Reversing the flow from the everyday.”
His Hero 🦸♂️
His dad, who worked three jobs to provide for nine kids and still shows up with love through everything life throws at him.
We are so thankful to have Tom in our community here at IN Power! Come flow with Tom every Tuesday at 9:30am 🙏
