BARRE INSTRUCTOR

In 2018 she received her 200 hour YTT. Zoey’s barre classes are a blend of yoga, pilates, and functional training moves to engage, strengthen, and lengthen the whole body. She offers tons of modifications to make each class what you need in that moment, in your body. Zoey loves to pump the music and use the beat to help you work a little deeper.

BARRE INSTRUCTOR

Kyra’s love for fitness began as a child, being a competitive gymnast for years and always training at the gym after school. She began taking barre classes in 2009 and immediately fell in love with the movement and style. Kyra received my barre3 certification in 2014 and taught classes in Oklahoma City, Bend, & Ashland. She enjoys teaching an energetic class with lively music while offering modifications, as needed, and especially skilled with pregnancy and postnatal modifications as she has taught and taken classes throughout three pregnancies. Kyra loves the low impact movements barre offers {anyone can do it}, the focus on core awareness, & layering in a little extra for added shakes and quakes. With both small and large range movements & some killer isometric holds, she love that barre sculpts your muscles into long, lean lines. Outside the studio, you can find Kyra with her husband, three kids, and poodle probably running around at a nearby playground. Follow her on Instagram @kycaudle

GROUP FITNESS INSTRUCTOR

Montana started her yoga and fitness journey begrudgingly. While intellectually she knew exercise creates endorphins, endorphins make you happy, and happy people don't just kill their husbands; emotionally, she wasn't interested in the whole "wellness" experience. Sadly, she was blindsided when fitness became a meaningful and transformative part of her life. Ten years later, Montana's studied a variety of practices and taken countless classes. She loves sore muscles and moving to bumpin tunes and finds it all a fantastic tool for taming anxiety and stress in an ever changing world. As a teacher she likes to cultivate a fun and joyful space students are eager to return to, whether that be with an option filled style of class or a righteous playlist. The goal of Montana's classes is to move your body in a way that feels good, and not to the point of destruction.

When not fitnessing, you can find Montana hanging with her dog, Ivy the Sea Bean, embroidering, reading comics, playing board games and working her day job as an event producer.

Montana Teachers:

Vinyasa, Yoga Sculpt, Barre, Strength Training.
