Meet Nancy Harvey
My yoga practice started as part of my recovery from a complicated surgery and I found that the combination of postures, breathing, and meditation helped me through recovery and added another dimension to my life providing inner strength and peace.
As a nurse practitioner for over 40 years and a yoga practitioner for over 25 years, I am now developing an encore vocation bringing it all together to provide holistic care to clients as a yoga therapist. I hold Masters degrees in both Nursing (MSN) and Yoga (MS), certification through the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT), and have completed 500 hours of teacher training through Holy Yoga and the Maryland University of Integrative Health. I am also certified in Yoga for 12 Step Recovery. Finally, I have been trained to provide the Acudetox protocol of ear acupuncture. These are tools that help individuals in their recovery from addictions but also provide support for individuals with anxiety and depression.
Yoga for Bone Health and Yoga for Pain Care are additional certifications I have completed in my quest to bring comprehensive, holistic health care and yoga to clients.
I brought my passion for yoga together with my Christian faith as a certified Holy Yoga instructor in 2013. Twice a week I teach Christian yoga classes at Genesis United Methodist Church. I am also a part of the teaching community at Grace Yoga and Healing Pathways in Cloverdale, VA.

It is my privilege to bring all the tools of yoga together to empower individuals in wholistic healing and personal growth.
Ancient Wisdom for Modern Healing
Growing up in New Mexico left a deep respect for the Southwest Native cultures and stories, in particular the Zuni tribe.
The Zuni Bear
The Zuni Bear symbolizes strength, introspection, self-knowledge, protection, journeying and healing. The Bear’s hibernation reminds us of the value of going within.
The Zuni Raven
The Zuni Raven is a guide in the exploration of the unknown and a messenger offering us discovery of our inner hidden world.
Guiding Star Yoga
These ancient wisdoms - the strength and healing of the bear combined with the raven as spiritual guide - come together to visually represent my philosophy of being a guide to healing for my clients.
