Born and raised in Nashville, Troy Akers brings a grounded, authentic presence to his teaching. His path began early, with his first job at 15 at Target across the street, and music has remained a defining thread throughout his life. For more than half of that journey, he has written and performed as Bandit Heart, while also studying Music Business at Belmont University.
Yoga entered his life six years ago during a deeply challenging extended season, and it became a meaningful source of support and transformation. Today, he is passionate about showing that the practice is truly for everyone. His classes are thoughtfully structured with a strong focus on alignment integrity, creating a space where students can build confidence, move with intention, and connect more fully with their bodies.
