After experiencing the joy, comfort, and stillness yoga brought to her life, she felt called to share this transformative practice with others.

This native New Yorker came to yoga over a decade ago, finding a practice that was the perfect complement to her training as a triathlete. After suffering a knee injury, life took an unexpected shift.

Jenna offers her students a path to experiential learning with a well-rounded practice and meditation. Through her continuing studies and practice, she strives to help others turn inward, outward, onward (and downward and upward!)

First as a public school art teacher, a mother and now a yoga teacher and a Birthing from Within Mentor and Certified Doula and Childbirth Educator. She enjoys leading sweaty soulful vinyasa flows as well as guiding momma's to be and postpartum moms through mindful meditations and sweet pre/postnatal flows.

Allison truly believes students should meet themselves where they are and grow from there.

For Kim, yoga was love at first Savasana over a decade ago. It was both the most awkward and incredibly peaceful experience within the span of an hour she had ever had. After dealing with chronic pain and mental health issues, she knew that it was the power of breath, movement, presence, and self-inquiry that would lead to her healing and liberation. She received her 200-hr YTT certification in 2014, left her full time law office job, and began her life as a full time traveling yoga instructor for over 3 years. In 2017 she completed her 300-hr advanced training.

Always a student, Kim has also completed courses in Core-Strength Vinyasa, Thai Yoga, Yin Yoga, Breathwork, and various meditation & yogic breathing practices. Students can expect Kim to teach from a place of intuition and authenticity, offering loving guidance through discomfort and bliss, and an opportunity to show up and meet yourself exactly where you're at on your path.

Growing up as a dancer, Laurel has always felt drawn to movement as a form of expression. She decided to dive further into the practice of yoga at the beginning of the pandemic as a way to stay active. She found that the practice of yoga has so many layers that she was eager to peel back. Laurel felt called to obtain her 200-hr YTT at Wild Heart Yoga in the Fall of 2021. She aims to extend her learnings of powerful yogic philosophy, mindfulness, asana sequencing, human connection, and spirituality to her students.

Originally from Alabama with an accent to prove it, Leslie has now been in Austin 20 years. As a former gymnast her curiosity sparked when saw a class full of handstands through a window in her old gym. Leslie dabbled on and off the mat for years. As life happened and her practice deepened, she noticed she was showing up for the stuff between the ears. Being aware of her body was easy, the mind was a whole other animal. Yoga helped with stress and peace of mind and making peace with a changing body.

Leslie shows up as herself, authentic and open. Building community is important to her. If you’re shy, come to her class - she’ll make sure you make some new friends. Her playlists keep you motivated and she’s cool if you want to sing and dance.

Since then, she has received her 200 YTT certification from Yoga East Austin and Wild Heart Yoga. Crystal enjoys tapping into that magical moment when one finds the calm in a challenging pose.
