"My yoga journey started in 1999 in an attempt to heal myself after years of living in pain, both physically & emotionally, and enabled me to reconnect to self. I believe we all have the power to heal ourselves given the tools. Sharing yoga and its transformative healing power has become my passion.

As a long time bodyworker, I have an intuitive approach to class development, integrating an advanced knowledge of anatomy, kinesiology and structural alignment into each class. When designing classes, I apply the Hindu concept of Vidya, hoping to guide students towards achieving clarity and knowledge of the body, mind and self through the practice. Each class includes a mindful theme woven in with pranayama, asana and a peak pose."

"I stumbled (literally) into my first yoga class as a result of a knee injury from running. I kept coming back long after my knee had healed because of differences I felt elsewhere in my life off the mat: my posture, my breath, the way my mind had quieted. 

My desire is to share the joy of this practice I discovered early on and to help others connect with a deeper part of themselves, discovering the power they have within and hopefully, cultivating a little inner peace along the way."

"My yoga journey stems from a love of movement, in all forms. Before beginning my path as a yogi, I pushed my body to extremes—as an Ironman triathlete, surfer, backcountry skier, and marketing-communications entrepreneur. Yoga gave me a deep and unexpected sense of balance. I believe in embracing the adventure of life, in constant exploration, in the pursuit of growth, and in overflowing gratitude for every. single. beautiful. moment.

My classes are designed to stimulate a balanced paradox — exploring the depth of the physical to nourish the inner journey of the mind and soul. I envision yoga, at its prime expression, to be a personal exploration—as unique and beautifully designed as each individual on the path… if only we can trust ourselves enough to inquire within… and slow down enough to hear our own innate wisdom."

"I've been dealt a handful of tragedy in my life. More than any one person should have to go through and yet I know that others have experienced an even darker story. Through this life travel, I sometimes had tools to help me through and sometimes I did not. Meditation. Yoga. Slowing down absolutely has changed my life. My relationships. The way I choose to interact with the world. It is my desire to share these tools with others, hoping that they not only use in on a yoga mat or in a studio but in life. Because how we show up every single day is what truly matters."

"I was introduced to yoga many years ago and it remains an anchor of balance, growth and radiance in my life. Traveling the globe as a competitive snowboarder, I integrated yoga into my life realizing its power to harmonize the body, mind and breath cultivating focus and connection. These skills have proven advantageous on the mat, on the mountain, in competition and in everyday life.

Examining yoga in a holistic way, I blend alignment, breath, creative sequencing and intention steeped in the traditions of Tantra Hatha Yoga to inspire courage, grace and freedom for students. As a teacher, I hope to hearten students creating a safe environment to find balance, space and freedom in their lives, reaching their full potential to shine bright."

"My focus is about aligning with the fire within through mindfully themed classes focusing on body, breath and spirit, working with Prana to support a vibrant life. With an undergraduate in Psychology and Art, I has been sharing her love for exploration since an early age. My adult career has been centered around rooting people in their bodies through various modalities from yoga and tai chi to backcountry skiing and mountain biking. These avenues are utilized throughout my teaching and personal work as platforms from which to spring forth into human exploration and growth. Founder and Former owner of Babes in the Backcountry, women’s outdoor adventures workshops, I bring a similar flavor to Meta to make yoga accessible to all. When not on the mat, a Hala Yoga SUP Ambassador, I can be found on my stand up paddle board or mountain bike exploring the mountains, rivers or soaking in the hot springs."

“Having initially found yoga over a decade ago, I would describe my ongoing experience as a path of discovery, healing and connection. The practice of yoga has been a gladiator of transformation in my life and in teaching I have discovered a passion for holding the space of that possibility for others.

Yoga teaches us that the barriers between the conscious self and the experience of knowing who we really are as pure source energy are birthed in the chatter of our minds and that the most direct path to the mind is through the body. I am deeply honored to be able to offer years of experience teaching movement to help guide you through a safe asana practice that builds strength and flexibility while also incorporating breath work and meditation to provide a holistic experience for mind, body and spirit.”

"I have been practicing yoga for the past 16 years in Colorado and abroad. After becoming a 200 RYT, my goal has been to have yoga accessible to all ages and abilities. I therefore offer a wide variety of postures in each practice. My primary focus is geared toward athletes and includes injury prevention techniques in many of my classes. The physical asana practice is very important; however, the pranayama breath work and meditation are key points in every class. My classes embody the true meaning of yoga by enveloping a mind – body connection. I have a passion for travel and often offer domestic and international retreats."

2016 - Yin Levels I with Kari Kwinn (Breckenridge, CO)

"Yoga showed up for me in 1999 and has evolved over the past 18 years from a very vigorous power flow fitness approach to a more deliberate slowed down meditative exploration of the shapes & breath. It has moved from a work-out to a work-in! Past students have referred to my classes as creeping up on you and before you know it, you’re in full sweat mode wondering where it came from.

I teach because I love to share the practice. Ultimately, it is the practice that is the teacher, I am merely a guide and educator. For me, yoga is not about getting better at the postures, it’s about becoming more comfortable in the body, breath and mind. My hope is that students will remain open to what the practice brings and that I can encourage and support their journey. If you’re just looking for a good work out, fasten your seat belt because we can do that too!"

“My first encounter with yoga was in 2012 as part of my preseason training for soccer. As an 18 year old college freshman, I had no idea what was going on, but I saw it as a way for nap time during 3-a-days. Fast forward to spring semester of my junior year when I came back to yoga as a way to come back to myself and my body without judgment or expectations.My classes are a mix of all my favorite things: anatomy, yin, vinyasa, mindfulness, and body awareness. I approach every class with the Yama Ahimsa in mind. It is my goal to create a safe space for students to freely express themselves in movement as well as dialogue. I am a firm believer in how we do one thing is how we do everything; I choose to do everything with love and non-violence.”
