Chloe’s journey with yoga began in high school but has continued to evolve – changing her life over and over again. For her, the experience of exploration extends not only to the outside world but the vast world that is our own bodies, minds and souls. In yoga, the two become beautifully intertwined in a practice that reminds us we are not separate from the whole. With this in mind, as an RYT500 her classes weave together alignment-based asana with breathwork, meditation and mindful intuitive movement through an inclusive, trauma-informed lens creating a full spectrum experience that leads students to lean into their own beautiful existence.

Jessica is a 200 hour certified yoga teacher, and 95 hour certified children’s yoga teacher from Phx, AZ. She is trained in making yoga and mindfulness inclusive and accessible to individuals of diverse abilities and backgrounds. She started practicing yoga in 2016 in order to help with shoulder pain after a car accident, but instead found it transformed her whole life by creating a space to access peace and better understand her body. Jessica believes yoga is much more than the physical practice, and therefore her classes focus on breath awareness and connection of the mind, body, and soul.

While she was born and raised in upstate NY, Meegan considers Colorado home. She has lived in CO for 22 years, the last 10 in the Gunnison Valley. Her yoga journey started in 2001 when she was introduced to the Bikram hot yoga series. Over the years, her practice expanded to include Power Yoga, Ashtanga, Restorative and Iyengar yoga. In 2009, she moved to Denver for a 9-week 200-hour teacher certification in the Bikram-style yoga series. When she returned home, she started teaching in Crested Butte and in Gunnison. She soon realized that her full-time teaching job in the schools and teaching yoga in the evening proved to be too much. Her yoga career was put on hold. In the summer of 2013, she taught the Bikram series once again at Yoga CB in Crested Butte. Over the course of the 2013/2014 year, she yearned for a deeper understanding of Yoga and what it means to live as a Yogi. In May 2014, she embarked on a life-changing journey to Mysore, India where she lived in an Ashram for 5 weeks, training for a second 200-hour certification in Traditional Hatha Yoga. She is humbled and honored to bring Hatha Yoga to the Gunnison Valley. She looks forward to sharing the wisdom and practice bestowed upon her. To breathe, relax and have awareness of the body is the true experience of yoga.
