Dr. Raelynn Deaton Haynes is the owner of Willow Gardens Yoga Studios in Lockhart and Buda, Texas. A biologist by training, she and her husband ventured into entrepreneurship in 2018 when they acquired the studio and later expanded the yoga community into Lockhart.
Raelynn holds a Master’s degree and PhD in Biology and has been a professor at Texas State University for nearly twenty years, where she teaches in the Department of Biology. She is a published author and works closely with college students across many disciplines. A certified yoga, Pilates, and barre instructor as well as a holistic health and mental fitness coach, Raelynn brings a uniquely scientific lens to embodied practice.
Growing up in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky deepened her connection to the natural world and led her through a rich and varied life — field biology, a stint in the Peace Corps, international yoga retreats, and adventure travel. Raelynn has a deep passion for bringing yoga and movement to the world as a pathway to healing, confidence, and a longer, more peaceful life.
