Instructor: Nancy Lumpkin

Nancy Lumpkin
Biography: Nancy was 16 years old, living in Europe, when she saw a ski race for the first time and was instantly hooked. She has been skiing ever since. Nancy continues to love the snow and skiing--especially in the Central Oregon area. As a certified yoga teacher and co-owner of Namaspa Yoga in Bend and Redmond, she incorporates her love of skiing and love of yoga for the stretch and strength. Although skiing the runs at Mt. Bachelor have a special place for Nancy, the quiet and stunning beauty of the forest is where her heart is now. Cross country skiing fulfills that love and offers the best of Central Oregon. From playing at the local snow parks to venturing out to the back country, cross country skiing opens these areas up during the winter for exploration. You can find Nancy either on her yoga mat at Namaspa or on the local trails skiing once the snow flies.
