MICKI PALMER

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN: I have always been an athlete throughout high school so the drive to be active comes natural. But I found that I while GM'ing restaurants that I was too busy to workout and was filled with stress. My husband suggested I make time for myself and hit my mat. Two months later, I quit my job and started my yoga teacher training. A few years later, I got my Certified Personal Training Certificate.

BEST ADVICE I HAVE EVER RECEIVED: My grampa always said, "Stay true to yourself and never sacrifice who you are for anyone."

WHEN I'M NOT AT CFC, YOU CAN FIND ME: Hanging out with my family

MY FAVORITE BOOK: Fearless by Eric Blehm

MY HIDDEN TALENT: I can visit a place once and know how to get there from memory. Photogenic memory.

MY FAVORITE PLACE IN SD: The beach, but my favorite beach is Fletcher Beach in Solana Beach. I would go here while getting my YTT, so its a sacred place for me.

MY FAVORITE SONG AT THE MOMENT: 'I did Something Bad' Taylor Swift, 'Higher Love' Kygo, Whitney Houston

YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME WITHOUT: Floss or Chapstick
