Brittany Elgin

Brittany Elgin was born and raised in Charlotte, NC and began her yoga journey at age 12 joining her mother in pop-up classes at Covenant Presbyterian Church. During her middle and high school years, Brittany’s involvement in Theatre at Northwest School of the Arts gave her a mindful awareness of her body and movement. That awareness was further cultivated through her studies of Theatre Arts in college at both UNC Greensboro and UNC-Charlotte. In 2019, Brittany completed Assistant Training and 200hr Teacher Training at Yoga One. In the Spring of 2021, she finished her second 200hr Teacher Training with Charlotte Yoga. Brittany expanded her teaching experience and joined the wonderful staff at Okra the summer of 2022. During 2023 Brittany participated in Soulful School of Yoga's 300hr yoga teacher training and completed said training in 2024. In the beginning of 2024 Brittany stepped into the role of Director of Yoga at Okra. She lives in Charlotte, NC with her husband Matt, orange tabby-cat Schroeder, and hound/lab mix Benedict.
