Travis Gibson is a certified instructor and teaches Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin and Restorative Yoga.  His background is probably different than most instructors.  He was born in Talladega, Alabama, USA. His mother was a teacher, and father a Methodist minister. He attended California State University, Sacramento and received a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice.  After graduation, He worked as a Juvenile Hall Counselor, then was hired by the BART Police Department.  He retired as a Police Commander after 30 years in 2009.

Travis initially started practicing yoga to help relieve sciatic back pain and eventually joined a local yoga studio.  In 2018, He attended Worlds Yoga’s Yoga Teacher Training and received his 200 hours RYT Yoga teaching certificate and began teaching. This new lifestyle has been a game changer. He  continues to take ongoing continuing education training classes to expand his knowledge,  improve his practice, learn additional skills to become more aware of his own mind and body so he can pass this knowledge to his students.
