OUR FOUNDER
Libby Campo
Introduced to Tantra yoga in 2007, Libby Campo came to the belief that everyone can benefit from the powers of yoga on and off their mats. Her personal practice evolved over the years such that now it has become a daily ritual of mindfulness and authenticity that permeates both her personal and professional lives. In 2012, Campo studied yoga at the University of Memphis under Pat Fielder and became a certified yoga teacher, studying under Amy Morse in 2015. Upon graduating, she opened Your Inner Yogi in Downtown Memphis the first black-owned Yoga Studio in the city to build community and be a resource for anyone interested in discovering the art of yoga. Libby has since studied Kemetic Yoga with Master Teacher Yirser Ra Hotep, Ashtanga Vinyasa with the world-renowned Gregg Tebb, Yoga Nidra with Dr. Nick Atlas, and earned additional certificates in Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Yoga Therapy, and Energy Work. Graduate of the esteemed Institute of Authentic Tantra© the only Tantra government accredited institute in the world. She is a Certified Authentic Tantra© Practitioner, Practitioner of Natural Healing, and ABS Certified Sexologist.
Off her mat, Libby Campo has also devoted much of her professional life to helping others build self-confidence and awareness in the Human Services field, serving families and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The core facets of her experience and education in Organizational Leadership and Behavioral Sciences led her to work in a field that improves the mental health and personal well-being of others. Her enthusiasm for her work presented an opportunity for her to seek other ways to help improve the quality of their lives.
Yogi, a professional, life partner, and mother of three, Libby has learned that less is more and has observed the impacts of societal conditioning and pressures leading us to push ourselves beyond our limits. She believes that slowing down and connecting with our breath is essential and that we all have a place on our mats, no matter one’s age, fitness level, race, sexual orientation, or economic status.
