Briana
Briana's teaching is deeply rooted in her 10 years of being a yoga student, her 200-hour RYT certification and as she pursues her 300- hour RYT certification. Briana's training and teaching emerge from the Ashtanga and Iyengar traditions, and prioritize healthy biomechanics and accessibility for all. Briana's classes are "challenging yet accessible" and based on the belief that how we practice on the mat (and what we learn from it) has the potential to transform how we show up in our lives, relationships, and vaster communities.

Similar to many yogis, Emily Stinespring found herself on a yoga mat in search of healing and inner peace. Over the years, through yoga, Emily overcame difficulties with body image and eating disorders by connecting on a deeper level to her mind and body. With her loving and compassionate nature to all beings on this earth, Emily’s yin yoga classes are a safe and inclusive space for all levels and body types.

Kelbie’s connection to others is incredibly important to her. She is excited to meet you and guide you through changing your life through the sacred practice of yoga.
Sadie
Yoga and outdoor enthusiast!
I am happiest when I am not hungry and traveling. I enjoy hiking long distances, rock hounding and writing guiding thoughts and poetry.
I find sound therapy useful when meditating and often offer sound as part of the yoga experience.
Savannah
A native to Utah, I grew up enjoying all that this beautiful state has to offer. I began doing yoga to complement my climbing and fell in love. Yoga not only improved my climbing ability, but has enhanced how I live my life. It's been 15 years and I've been practicing ever since. I finally got certified in 2017 and now get to share my love for yoga even more with everyone around me.
Emily B.
Emily Brough E-YRT 500 had dedicated her life to movement after 6 months of being paralyzed, 6 more months of learning how to walk again, 5 metal plates & 68 pins. To her movement is a gift.The ability to wiggle your toes & walk to the mailbox are a gift.
She started yoga when she was 14 years old. Emily loved finally being able to control her breath. The doctors said if it weren't for her spine's ability to be flexible she would have been paralyzed for life. With a 10% chance of walking again she feels like she has been given a second chance. Now 7 years later she has made almost a full recovery with her yoga practice, a healthy anti-inflammatory diet & rock climbing. I want to share this with others.

Regan

Dani
Dani Andrew RYT 200, RPYT first certified in Prana Vinyasa Flow in 2019 and has since been certified in Advanced Hands On and Prenatal Yoga.
Everyone finds yoga in their own way, and Dani found it when she was going through some trials in her personal life. She quickly learned that yoga made her happy even though she couldn’t say why. She decided to study it in depth and learn why it made her feel better emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically.
Dani’s goal as a yoga teacher is simple- make people feel good. She believes that yoga has the power to heal people, just as it heals her, and hopes that everyone leaves her classes feeling just a little better than when they came in.
