Stephanie’s yoga journey began after moving to a new city in search of community. She was immediately hooked and quickly became a regular practitioner. Stephanie completed her 200-hour teacher training, where she was trained to teach vinyasa and power yoga styles. When Stephanie became pregnant with her first child, she began practicing prenatal yoga, which was instrumental in helping her cultivate the physical strength and sense of calm and ease that was so important during her pregnancy and throughout new parenthood. This inspired Stephanie to go on to complete her 85-hour prenatal yoga training. Stephanie has also completed Yoga for Baby and Toddlers and Trauma Informed Yoga trainings. She believes it's truly a privilege to support folks during the special and challenging time of pregnancy and postpartum, and to share the many gifts she received from her own experience. Stephanie’s goal is to provide accessible, well rounded, and empowering classes that emphasize the mind-body connection.

Kate has been teaching hatha yoga since 1995. With a gift for teaching to all levels and physical conditions, she loves to weave words of inspiration into her clear, direct instruction. She encourages her students to think outside the box and look at how their physical and emotional environments shape their bodies, minds and hearts. Kate draws her extensive knowledge from not only many teachers and styles of hatha yoga and meditation, but also from her love of anatomy and kinesiology, natural movement, acrobatics and many forms of dance. Functional and natural moves are always integrated into her asana classes (cuz we all need to be able to get up, bend over and reach for something). Kate is also a mom of two and works as a local massage therapist and birth doula. She holds a BFA in Modern Dance from the University of New Mexico and a masters degree in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica.
