Tina started combining her love of metal music and teaching
yoga about eight years ago, when she started Black Widow
Yoga after her father died of cancer.

She also teaches pop ups in Medford and Summerville.

Speaker 3 (00:37):

Speaker 1 (00:47):
She also partnered with local artists to create an apparel
brand that matches the same metal yoga tone in Summerville.
