Cassandra Smith is the owner of The Floating Lotus Yoga Studio and Day Spa in Little Rock, Arkansas. Cassandra first discovered yoga in 1998 by reading a book she purchased, and she quickly realized her passion for the practice. Upon gentle nudging to find her own voice in yoga by one of her first teachers, Catherine Rodgers, she decided to take her practice into teaching in 2000. Cassandra has always had a dancing spirit so she was very excited to discover Shiva Rea, someone whose practice and teaching embodied a dancing, flowing style. Cassandra has studied extensively under Shiva Rea and is a Prana Flow teacher. This is a yoga style that is energetic, creative and a full-spectrum approach to embodying the flow of yoga. 

Cassandra is an E-500 registered yoga teacher through Yoga Alliance with over 5000 hours of teaching knowledge. You will find her style of teaching thoughtful, instructional, and alignment-focused with a flowing tempo. She loves sharing the deeper roots of the practice, not just the physical aspect. She has a calm and nurturing energy that lends support for the emotional aspects of the practice as well. 

Her other passion is skin care, so in 2005 she obtained her aesthetician license. Her dream of combining yoga and day spa became a reality in 2009. She loves sharing her knowledge about the benefits that lead to a healthy you both inside and out.
