Meet our Instructors:

Brandi (She/Her)

Hi all! I’ve been teaching yoga since 2020 (and I absolutely love it)! If you choose to check out any of my classes, know that you can expect a mixture of grounding down along with fun! I consider myself a very casual yoga teacher. I don’t take myself too seriously (and you shouldn’t either). I’m likely to joke around, and I encourage my students to go easy on themselves too. Yoga is a very personal journey, and my goal as a teacher is to help make it more fun and enjoyable for my students.

Cyros (he/him)

Stoked to see that you’re taking interest in my class! I teach a style of yoga that I call “Slow Flow.” I combine a traditional style of yoga called Hatha and blend it with a Vinyasa ~flow~ practice. I completed my Yoga Teacher Training in India and have really enjoyed combining that traditional experience with the likes of yoga in our culture. My class focuses a ton on connecting mind and body as well as observing and quieting our minds. At the end of the day, I hope my class is an experience where you can come and enjoy your body and mind.

Gage (he/him)

The greatest tragedy to occur in a person’s life is to forget they are a life. Every time I do yoga I feel my life energies within me swell, and that is why I teach, to share this great feeling. Along with yoga I plan to teach history in the future as well. I enjoy spending time outside, baking/cooking, and learning.

Jes (she/her)

I love teaching yoga at C.S.U. and being part of this awesome community. I was introduced to Yoga during a dance intensive when I was 15, and 19 years later it is still an important part of my life. I teach various Vinyasa inspired classes and offer sound bath meditations! I am also a Social Worker and passionate about supporting the mental and emotional health of individuals and communities. I love to spend my time with my family exploring the outdoors and being in nature as much as possible!

Julie (she/her)

Julie has been practicing & loving yoga for over 15 years. She received her RYT 200 certification from Red Lotus School of Yoga in Rochester, Michigan in 2008. Since then she has enjoyed teaching a myriad of classes including Ashtanga, Hatha, Yin, Gentle and Adaptive & Chair Yoga. Julie continued her education and received her 500-hour certification in April 2021 from the Yoga Impact Institute. She believes yoga is a true healer & connector of body & mind. Her practice helps her stay grounded, not only as a teacher but as a mom and wife.

Kalia (she/her)

I teach Hatha and Beginner Yoga, and I hope my classes will resonate with you whether you have a deep relationship with yoga or you’re new to practicing. I’m an environmentalist! Being outside is where I belong, and nature is the reason I love living in Colorado. I’ve been practicing yoga since middle school, and I am beyond grateful for what it has taught me. Most recently I’ve enjoyed meeting new people, knitting, and traveling!

Lara (she/her)

I’m passionate about creating a class where people can leave behind their worries and concerns and just focus on connecting their mind and body. Whether the studio is full of people, or it’s a class of two, I want it to feel like a special experience for you. When I’m not teaching, I love playing Dungeons and Dragons and watching Too Hot to Handle. And I love cherry chocolate ice cream!

Samy (she/her)

Samy is smile setter, community builder, and yoga teacher. She brings an intentional, playful, and accessible experience to her classes. Weaving creative movement, inspiring music, and intuitive exploration, she fosters a space where all feel welcomed, capable, and empowered. Samy is seeking a Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy at C.S.U. to pursue her dream of merging Eastern and Western modalities of healing and wellbeing. Learn more about Samy at: www.yogamattei.com

Theresa (she/her)

I love to laugh and learn! Come to my class if you want a yoga experience that’s playful and fun. I want you to leave feeling inspired and with a sense of calm. I love practicing yoga, riding my bicycle and playing in Horsetooth. I enjoy pushing myself out of my comfort zone, especially in ice cold water. I love living in Colorado, where every day is an adventure!
