About Us

Founder + Co-Owner | E500-RYT Ashlee is a lululemon ambassador and started practicing yoga to help her manage the symptoms of a life-threatening lung disease, cystic fibrosis. She found the practice extremely healing, and is now a self-proclaimed yoga nerd. She’s completed more than 1,500 hours of training with expert teachers such as Janet Stone and Jason Crandell. She enjoys studying movement and creating sequences that will help you build strength and mobility, so you can feel as good on the mat as you do off. Ashlee is inspired by Bhakti Yoga and very passionate about offering trauma-aware and inclusive classes.

Catherine attended her first yoga class in 2003 and loved it. After years of living a toxic, urban lifestyle, she knew her life had to radically change and started a disciplined vinyasa practice in 2012. She soon discovered that yoga was something well beyond a physical practice and she quit her 15-year binge drinking behavior and started shedding decades of self-loathing and limiting beliefs. In 2013, she sold everything, quit her job, and left the United States to embark upon her self-love spiritual journey throughout Southeast Asia that lasted over 5-years. Within that time, she received 200hr Hatha Yoga, 100hr Yin Yoga, and Reiki level 2 certifications. She learned from various teachers and taught classes, workshops, and retreats for students from around the world in Sri Lanka, Indonesia, India, Thailand, Spain, China, and the United States. She’s been a student for 10 years and a teacher for 7. Catherine’s authentic, from-the-heart teaching blends spiritual and practical teachings to safely invite you to dive deep into your being. In her classes, you’ll be met where you’re at with mindful, breath-centered practices. She’s passionate about holding space for others as she believes yoga is the path to wellness and wholeness, healing, and transformation.

Laura first fell in love with yoga in Madison, Wisconsin several years ago – on the coldest mornings of the year, she would bundle up and walk to the studio near her home to warm up and move. Laura’s approach to yoga focuses on a balance between strength and flexibility. Her classes focus on a grounding flow that will help you to build mindfulness and reestablish a connection between your body and the earth.

Co-Owner | E500-RYT Jackie has been devoted to the practice of yoga for 20 years and a licensed massage therapist for 16 years. She first came to the practice in her early twenties and enjoyed how the practice complemented strength training.  Every time she stepped foot on a mat, the spiritual healing aspects of yoga started to resonate deeper within. She has leaned into this healing to help with confidence, calming the mind, and being more present as a mother and wife.   Jackie is an E-RYT 500 and her training is rooted in Ashtanga and Jivamukti lineages. She brings her knowledge of anatomy and enjoys deepening her students’ practice with nurturing hands-on adjustments to each class.

Carol Vare has had a lifelong love with the practice of Yoga. As a teenager, she followed the asanas (poses) out of a Hatha Yoga Pocket Guide. From there she continued to practice on her own. When more Yoga Studios opened up in the US, she took classes regularly wherever she could. After 45 years of her own practice, Carol finally decided to take Yoga Teacher Training. In her own healing business, she works with many clients and students affected at various levels of trauma, and so has been trained in Trauma Informed Yoga. Carol’s classes are taught with the conscious awareness that anyone can walk into her class who may be dealing with sensitive issues. Comfort and safety are forefronts to the practices she leads. Carol is RYT 200 certified Yoga Teacher. She teaches at retreats, workshops, and in studio. Incorporating the 8 Limbs of Yoga, she enjoys teaching not only the asanas (poses), but mantra, meditation, and pranayama (breath work), and blends the teachings of Yoga Philosophy in each class.

Lily has a passion for embodied movement. She values offering autonomous space for her students to move in their bodies. Lily got her YTT in Sedona in 2018 through The Devotional School of Yoga. Since, she has been learning how to incorporate authentic physical, emotional, and energetic expressions into every aspect of her life and in doing so, lead others to do the same. In her classes, you can expect these incorporations plus invitations to bring more of yourself forward on and off the mat.
