My name is Katelyn and I got my 200 hour RYT in 2021 here in Idaho Falls. I have a passion for inspiring others to seek out a life that is both peaceful and challenging. Nothing makes me happier than smiling students after class. Yoga to me is learning to take the calm of child’s pose, the strength of chaturanga, the balance of warrior 3, and applying them to all aspects of our lives. When I’m not teaching yoga you can find me hiking, paddle boarding, reading, cooking, and spending time with my loved ones.

I am a mother to 4 kids and have a bachelor's in pyschology. Recieved my Kundalini yoga & meditation teacher training in 2019. And in 2020 started my Vinyasa yoga teacher training. In 2021/2022 I also taught kids yoga in Burton events schools to kindergarten up to 4th grade students.

Lisa discovered yoga in 2016 via BODi. Stepping through fears, she joined a local studio. It didn’t take long before she began to realize the multiple benefits of a regular practice! Recognizing that the yoga helped to keep her grounded and enabled her to live more fully in the present moment, she just felt better. Happier! More accepting of her authentic self. She also found that it was helping to manage chronic pain and migraines from past neck injuries. She deepened her practice with a 300 hour YT in Idaho Falls in 2017 and began teaching that year. Always a student, she continued to dive deep- completing another 100 hour immersion in Jackson Hole, Wyoming in 2019. And another 100 hour YT in Wilson, Wyoming in 2023. Her classes incorporate a focus on breath, alignment, spirituality and presence. She believes the transformative power of yoga helps us navigate the world beyond the mat with more fluidity, awareness and clarity. It is her passion to share this with you. In addition to teaching yoga, Lisa is a body worker and maintains an active massage practice.

Nicole began practicing yoga in 2012 as a way to "stretch out" on days when she wasn't running. A year later, she found herself sidelined from running with an injury and it led her to deepen her practice. What she discovered was greater self-acceptance and a sense of well-being that stemmed from creating the connection between her mind and body.

Inspired by the amazing instructors that made her feel welcome and encouraged in every class, she decided to complete her 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Park City, UT in 2017. A year later, she received her certification in Yoga Sculpt.

Nicole believes in the power of movement to transform and heal the body and mind and wants to share that passion with others.
