CAITLIN
Caitlin’s love of yoga began when she was 15 after attending her first class with her mom. Fast-forward to now, and yoga has permeated every aspect of her life. She specializes in functional and practice yoga from the Classical Hatha Yoga tradition, but has also been greatly influenced by other styles like Kundalini Yoga and Vinyasa. Caitlin’s a life-long learner who aims to teach supportive, creative, and responsive classes to help you find more balance in your everyday life. A creative at heart, Caitlin is also a professional flutist with two degrees in music, and teaches other musicians about the benefits and practice of yoga. When she’s not doing yoga or making music, you might find her knitting her own sweaters, baking fresh bread or binge-reading a sci-fi/fantasy novel!
GINGER
Ginger began practicing yoga in 2000. With a background in theatre and dance, yoga provided the environment to center myself focusing on breath and movement. In 2007 I began my 200HR RYT training with Valerie Kit Love of Life Mastery Yoga. It is important to me to share and hold a space where everyone can benefit from the practice of yoga. The experience of bringing the mind, body and spirit together helps bring my personal awareness to the present moment. In the present moment is where we are at our best.

KARLYE
I walked into Fusion Fitness and Yoga 5 years ago to take a boot camp class. After a year of classes with Lindsey, she talked me into staying for a yoga class. It changed my life. I found that yoga not only helped me physically, but mentally as well. I felt an ease with myself and my body that i had never experienced in my life. I knew then that it would always be a part of my life. Last year I decided to get my Yogafit certification so that I can encourage that ease in others. I hope that my students can feel as comforted as I did on that first day. Yoga has been a life changing experience for myself and I want to share that with others.
SANDRA
Hello, I’m Sandra and I am YogaFit level 1 and Les Mills Bodyflow certified. I have been practicing yoga since 2003 and couldn’t live without it! I enjoy the physical and mental benefits yoga has to offer. I’m also a runner and enjoy other forms of exercise but practicing yoga is like brushing my teeth in that it’s simply a way of life. When you walk into class you are entering an encouraging and uplifting environment no matter your age, fitness level, or physical limitations. We leave our worries at the door! As an instructor it is extremely rewarding to see people reach their fitness goals and grow in their practice. Over the years I have formed some great friendships in my practice which is another benefit and blessing. I love to meet new people and see the spark ignite- meet me on the mat!
