  • I knew when I tried my first yoga class in Dallas in 2001, it was something special. What I didn’t realize at the time was the impact it would have on my life, and I’m still realizing it. When I returned to Birmingham in 2004, I was fortunate enough to work at a company with a nice gym AND a yoga instructor.

    I did my first teacher training in 2006 and started to do some teaching. I was blessed with the opportunity to live in various parts of the country (Ohio, California, Florida and Texas) so I attended yoga studios everywhere I could. In 2016 while living in California, I completed my 200 hour YTT (yoga teacher training) at Yoga Shakti. Since then I have attended some intense yoga and meditation workshops and retreats.

    Yoga and breath work have carried me through some dark, sad and stressful days. When I move my body with my breath, I have a deeper connection to God and continuously thank our Creator for the ability to practice yoga and deal with “the human condition.” It’s just one tool in the toolbox of managing real life. Yoga also carries me on a daily basis on the very best of days.

    I’ve had a dream to open a studio and share yoga and meditation with others for about ten years. I always knew that Trussville (my home town) would be a perfect location. However, the timing wasn’t right until now. Late in 2022, I knew it was time to move back to Alabama after 15 years. I accepted a job in Alabama, and I prayed for a wonderful business partner, and Trussville Yoga was born. God knows our plans.

    I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to practice and grow with you. Trussville Yoga will be a place for friendship, safety, vulnerability, compassion and learning. There are classes for everyone and every skill level (even if you have never tried it). Join us for a wonderful adventure in movement and breathing. I will meet you on the mat just where you are in life!

    Sat Nam,

    My name is Spivey Wilson. I’m the Co Owner of Trussville Yoga! Leaving the hair industry after 11 years and closing my salon suite was and is the hardest decision I’ll ever make. Coming into my yoga practice in Birmingham was unique and I found my home in Birmingham Yoga Lab under the teachings of Pilar Taylor whom I’m so thankful. I’ve grown to love the yoga community and all that it has to offer my family. Being a wife of 7 years to Blake Wilson and a mother of twins Daniel and Abigail, doesn’t come with a handbook. Life, doesn’t come with a handbook, and sometimes the words get blurry. Yoga made them a little more clear to me. That’s why I’m so excited to continue to share this beautiful experience with the city of Trussville! With a deep family connection to Trussville, the most amazing co-owner and teachers, I am excited to continue to grow as a student and instructor at Trussville yoga!

  • 200-RYT Training, Birmingham Yoga Lab

    Helen’s yoga journey began in 2019 as a weekly girls night outing. What started as a social activity soon turned into a journey of self discovery, inner healing and a deep desire to peel back the layers and know oneself fully. After years of daily practice, Helen received her 200-RYT Certification through YogaLab, Birmingham under Pilar Taylor, Shannon Brasovan and Haley Duggan, and is completing a 30-HR Katonah Yoga Mentorship under the guidance of Kat Yates in fall 2024.

    Helen approaches her classes through the lens of The Five Element Theory of Chinese Medicine, looking to nature’s seasonal cycle for wisdom and inspiration. With the belief that we are an intricate part of Great Nature, Helen’s classes are designed to help us find harmony, balance and stability in each of life’s seasons through embodied movement, pranayama and mindfulness. In conjunction with the use of the imagination, metaphors and visualization, you can expect to leave class feeling connected and attuned to your external and internal environments.
