Any advise for aspiring climbers? Learn as much as you can and experience all types of climbing - it will help keep it fresh and keep your stoke burning. But most importantly just make sure you're having fun!
What’s your favorite Energy Tea and why? My favorite energy tea is the Red Tea. It gives me the perfect pick-me-up in the morning before my training sessions, keeps me warm and hydrated while ice climbing, and helps me recover on my rest days. I'm not sure it can get much better...
Fun Facts. I really love cookies, I have a -3 ape index (I've been called t-Rex), I have a little dog named Puma, I love inspiring others to find their passion and live it, and I feel most alive when I'm in the mountains.

Savannah Cummins grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio. She was not exposed to the outdoors until she was 16. Her parents sent her on a 28 day canoeing trip in Minnesota to keep her out of trouble for the summer. She quickly realized how much simplicity exists in a life outside, and has since made it her job to do so!

Why are you hooked on Teatulia?
I am not a coffee drinker, but still enjoy having a hot drink in the morning and before I go to bed. I'm a quality over quantity kind of person, and Teatulia is quality tea. In the morning I can get just enough caffeine, it tastes oh so good and it's organic!
Where’s the coolest place you’ve been?
I've traveled all over the U.S., Europe, Central America and Asia and have seen some pretty cool places, but the state of Utah still blows my mind every time! It has mountains and some of the most beautiful desert landscapes I've ever seen. I still have a lot of exploring to do on planet earth but for now Utah is the coolest place to me.

What’s your pre-run ritual? Loud techno music, some sort of caffeinated beverage (I alternate in between green tea and cold-brew coffee), head banging and bad dance moves.
Any advice for aspiring runners? What you eat can enhance or diminish the joy your get from running. When you eat well, you feel superpowered. Keeping that in mind will motivate you to eat clean foods to fuel your running habit.
Why do you drink Teatulia? I drink Teatulia because I believe strongly in the healing properties of plants. Making organic tea a part of my everyday routine keeps me balanced, GI tract regulated, energy lifted and my workouts enhanced.

Why are you hooked on Teatulia?
I begin my days by drinking a cup of tea every morning. Drinking tea is a ritual for me. It allows me to pause in the moment of solace & peace. As I drink tea, it allows me: a moment to myself,gives me time to reflect and places me in a state of zen which helps me prepare for my day. Also, I am hooked on Teatulia’s philanthropic mission that supports women. Teatulia is a social enterprise designed to create jobs.

Teatulia provides education, health and cattle lending programs to the women and children of Bangladesh. I want to help Teatulia help others.
How did you get involved teaching yoga?
I began practicing yoga in 2014. I had been taking group classes at a gym for a while, and wanted to try something new. Initially, I didn’t think that yoga was for me, but after taking my first yoga class, I realized yoga challenged me in ways I have never experienced before: mind, body and spirit. Ultimately, I fell in love with yoga sculpt.
