Kirstin Koepnick

With over 10 years of practice, I discovered my passion for yoga as a Power Flow instructor! Inspired by my step-mom, who introduced me to yoga, I have completed a 200-hour teacher training and am currently pursuing my 300-hour certification. Designed to sync breath with movement, my sessions promote the fluidity of body and mind for students of all levels. I love crafting upbeat playlists to transform every class into an energetic and uplifting experience. Join me on the mat, and let’s flow to the rhythm of your best self!

Fun fact: I love traveling and have been to over 30 countries 🙂 send me some travel recs!

Christine Grayton

I believe yoga is for every body and Yoga is for everybody. Encouraging the practice of yoga on and off the mat, I take a mindfulness approach to my practice and teachings. Each person goes through different life paths and journeys and where movement – as I like to say, yoga with a lowercase “y” – is important, the mind-body connection is what I find most important about Yoga – with a capital Y. Exploring my own practice for over 10 years, I decided to embark on a yoga teacher training program in 2023 to expand my own practice. Now, I have completely changed careers, stepping away from the corporate world and am now teaching full-time!

Fun fact: I am a self-taught and “self-started” sourdough baker! Bored in the pandemic, I grew my starter from scratch and it’s still going strong to this day! It’s name is Belcher 🙂

Rose

I believe in the magic of alignment, precision, and playful discovery on the mat. In my classes, we’ll blend breath with movement, while using props and modifications, to make every pose accessible and enjoyable. Sequencing stems from Iyengar and Hatha yogic styles and is paired with fun music, a strong sense of community (and humor) and hope to that practices explored on your mat become useful tools in other aspects of life.

Fun fact: Sunblock is my favorite accessory!

AJ Taylor

I’ve been practicing yoga for nearly nine years, and found my passion in power flow and a good, upbeat playlist. Now, I like to teach all kinds of classes, from yin to hot power yoga, with the overall priority of body awareness and gratitude.

Fun fact: I’m a Wilderness First Responder!

Grace Mellor

I started practicing yoga in college while in search of balance and relief. Through a dedicated practice over the years, my mat has become a safe space to be creative and at-peace. I received my RYT-200hr in 2022 to teach others the benefits of yoga I experience. My classes are suitable for all levels, as I hope to inspire students to be curious, grow, and feel safe. With a new playlist every month, my classes are curated to encompass breath to movement, sweat, and mindfulness (with a smile!).

Fun fact: I love to travel, experience new cultures, and try new foods & activities. I recently completed a bucket list item, traveling to 30 countries under the age of 30!

Liv Colman

I’ve practiced yoga for almost 10 years and completed my 200-hr teacher training through Shambhavananda Yoga in Colorado. I believe yoga is for everyone! I offer variations and use props so you can tailor your practice to suit your physical and mental needs. Whether you’re seeking strength or relaxation, I aim to make every class an inclusive and empowering experience for all levels. Join me to find joy and meditation through movement!

Fun fact: I love any kind of outdoor adventure. My favorite (so far) is rafting the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon! I also love to crochet and watch bad reality tv in my free time.

Gabby Ureña Matos

I’m a 200-hour certified yoga teacher and have completed a 30 hour training in yin yoga as well. I like to sequence creative flow classes that get you facing all directions on your mat. I try to encourage and generate an environment of self-trust and growth for students. I make sure to offer variations whenever I can and remind you to always ask your body what it’s looking for in practice today before your mind wants to take over!

Fun fact: I can spend almost all day in the kitchen and love a good cooking project! I’m currently trying to get into winter bathing despite being the first person in the room to feel cold. I also weirdly can do the Road Runner “meep-meep” really well.

Lynnith Rubin

I’m a mover, musician, and teacher of teachers. I’ve taught yoga, flexibility, mobility, breathwork, acroyoga, and inversions to yoga-teachers-in-training as well as beginners. I teach with longevity in mind, encouraging students to find their edge while also listening to their bodies so their joints can be healthy and allow for participation in athletic endeavors well into old age! One of my most proud teaching moments was when my 50-year-old private client did his first ever handstand, breaking through years of limiting beliefs about his strength and ability. My objective is to empower people to learn the tools they need to feel good in their own bodies; consciously cultivating health and happiness from within.

Fun fact: In a former life chapter, I was a professional flute player!

Mary Reynolds

Teaching yoga for over almost 25 years. Specific experience and interest in trauma-informed yoga, spiritual movement, and mindfulness practices with womyn of all ages.

Fun fact: I start most of my days with a 2 minute cold shower, even in the dead of winter. And when I’m able to, I’ll jump into a cold lake or ocean.

Raquel A. Perez

As a yoga instructor, I use my voice to guide students with their own yoga journey, a moving meditation practice for wellbeing. As a student, I listen to grow and improve on my journey. As we age, daily yoga practice with a special focus on balance, strength, and meditation is crucial. I have been a climber longer than I have been a yoga practitioner, and intertwining both to avoid injuries, increase range of motion, and above all have fun, is my ultimate goal as a yoga instructor.

Fun fact: Rocks for me are more than just a thing to climb! I’m a Geologist!

Morgan Kelley

I’m a certified AcroLove Acroyoga teacher, and have been practicing acroyoga since 2016. I am passionate about pushing boundaries and nurturing students personal growth, and will encourage you to explore the outer edges of your comfort zone through attainable yet challenging moves and transitions. I love L-base washing machines, but can also be found challenging myself though icarian pops, standing and group practices. My goal is to share the transformative power of acroyoga, foster personal growth, and build a strong sense of community in every class.

Fun fact: I recently started horseback riding again after a 10 year hiatus, so on weekends when I’m not doing acro you can probably find me at the barn!

Jill Rodgers

I have invested in lots of learning since my initial certification, and am now an RYT-500 with over 4,000+ teaching hours under my belt. My continued studies usually focus on the anatomy and mechanics of yoga and I strive to convey that knowledge during practice to help students build a better understanding of their own bodies. I love that postural yoga provides a chance to work all areas of the body, to practice building strength at end ranges, and connects us to the rhythms of our breath and our heartbeat. I hope to be a guide on the path that leads yogis back to themselves.

Fun fact: I love cultural performances of all kinds, and take advantage of city living by enjoying as much dance, theatre, concerts, and films as possible.

Margaret Kobs

I’ve taught yoga for a culmative 4 years now and have cherished every single moment. I taught students at the fitness center in college, for various friends and fundraisers, and now teaching the lovely members of Boston Bouldering Project.

Fun fact: I climbed Mt Kilimanjaro in the Summer of 2023 and it was epic to say the least. I’m so grateful for pranayama – yoga breathwork got me through the alpine start final push!

Hannah Howard

After practicing for over 10 years in a variety of styles, I completed my 200-hr training in May 2024. For me, yoga is all about meeting your bones in a new and exciting way, and in all of my classes I enjoy seeing how individual anatomies adapt to postures. Yoga is the thing that gave me strength and flexibility after spinal surgery, and I love that both creative sequences in power yoga and supportive rest in restorative yoga deepen my relationship with my breath and alignment.

Fun fact: Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and I spend entirely too much time each morning making myself an extensive Mediterranean style spread. If you ever need olive recommendations, I’m your girl!

Through yoga practice, Ashley found an opportunity to look at the world through a new lens, and apply the practice of yoga to life off the mat.

In a class with Ashley, expect to find strong flows threaded through with thematic principles derived from Yoga philosophy. She is 200 RYT certified.

Andrew Gillespie

Outside of the yoga studio walls, I am a professional drummer/percussionist. My yoga instruction and musical life complement one another.  I strive to create a practice for any and everybody, bringing a sense of improvisation to “read the room” for a well-rounded asana practice.  I trend towards a slower flow style which will leave you feeling stronger and more integrated. Music is key to my practice; I take pride in creating playlists that create a mood, pulling inspiration from a myriad of genres, everything from jazz to soul to Brazilian  and beyond.  Hope to see you in class!

Sunday Align 9am & Flow 10:30am

Billie Oh

I’ve been practicing yoga for 10+ years. The heart of my teaching philosophy is to honor the body. I believe in the power of asana (shapes) to bring the mind, body, and spirit into alignment. My teaching is rooted in functional yoga, emphasizing bodily sensation rather than aesthetic appearances. I am passionate about expanding accessibility and approachability in yoga spaces. 

When not teaching, I write emails for a living. My three-year-old foster son is better at climbing than I am and I really (really) love coffee.

Julia Andrighetti

As a Certified Yoga Instructor, I am passionate about Yoga as a form of moving meditation and see it as a path to becoming a better human. My background in dance coupled with my training in numerous Yoga and wellness modalities, inspires me to infuse a sense of creativity and mindfulness into my classes. 

When we consciously, and compassionately, connect our bodies, breath, and minds, we tap into a freedom and flow that quiets the mind’s chatter, bringing us into the present and the wisdom within. My goal as a teacher is to compassionately walk alongside you in your practice, creating opportunities for you to explore a path of self-empowerment, connection, and peace. 

I love backpacking and have thru-hiked the 300+ mile long Superior Hiking Trail. When I’m not in the Yoga Studio I might be hiking, traveling, crocheting, dancing, playing my ukulele, or spending time outside under or in the trees.

Tuesday 7pm Hot Power Flow & 8:30pm Restore

Kate Jahnke

Kate has lived many lives; from a bartender, to a tattoo artist, to an EMT. It was severe illness that brought her to Yoga, and what inspired her to change paths to share the teachings of Yoga with others. Yoga goes beyond physical strength and flexibility; Yoga creates mindful, compassionate humans. And while Kate hopes that you walk out of class, carrying your Yoga with you off of your mat, she also hopes you have felt a sense of community and home within our walls. 

Kate has been with MBP since we opened in 2017, and has been our Yoga & Fitness Manager since 2021. If she’s not at MBP, she’s probably at home loving up her children and dogs, hosting a kitchen dance party, or nursing a broken bone (iykyk).

Lacie Laurent

I found yoga at a low point, and it saved me in many ways. Since that first class I have been an avid student. I attended my first teacher training in Minneapolis in 2015, the following year traveling to Rishikest, India for an advanced training. My teaching philosophy is to explore the practice of yoga for the whole being by integrating meditation, breath work, and, of course, completely nerding out in explorations in anatomy. My mission as a teacher is to pass along tools so others create connection, groundedness, and flexibility, not only in their bodies, but in their daily lives.

When I’m not teaching yoga, I’m working as a health coach to help people integrate movement and activity into their lives. You can also find me at home baking, reading nonfiction, and snuggling my rescue bulldog.

Lauren Tallarita

Lauren is a seeker and a wanderer. She loves sunbeams, stargazing, water, movement, mystery, the moon, bad jokes, soul music, cool showers, earth, beets, thunderstorms, handstands, matches, bicycles, traveling, twisting, playing, exploring, loving. A yoga teacher, reiki practitioner and massage therapist in Minneapolis, Minnesota, she is eternally inspired by her travels and the wildness of nature, and the ways in which both inspire a move towards equanimity in fluid and often unpredictable states. Lauren’s personal practice is informed by balance between sweet strength and a daring softness, often calling upon the elements of nature to provide the necessary medicine of the moment. She believes that the most true and potent expressions of ourselves come from a place of curiosity and play, and teaches an intuitive class emphasizing breath, alignment and connection. 

Lauren is generally pretty quiet, but a HUGE sing-talker once you get to know her!

Saturday 9am Flow & 10:30am Power Flow

Cyndi Hovey (they/them)

In my offerings you can always expect: honoring of sacred shared space, reverence for each student, and an authentic expression of my soul + an invitation to find yours by letting your breath guide your body to where it needs to be. I am often anchored by a theme or concept that feels resonant in my life or the world. Then I explore postures, breath work and a playlist that invite the body and spirit to connect with it. I love to be creative and playful while offering modifiable challenges within class. My Thai Yoga Bodywork training, Qigong, learnings from my sangha and healers, the wisdom of nature, and sprinkles of astrology also inspire my offerings. 

My favorite movie will forever be The Lion King, I won’t disrupt my cat Pippen snuggled up on my lap even if I have to desperately pee and I have/will take multiple baths in one day.

Caitlin Barner

Movement is medicine! I deeply believe that moving our bodies in a fun way is the key to a healthy & happy life. I loveeee to bring a fun & vibrant energy to my classes. My favorite part about teaching yoga & fitness is the community that comes together to move, sweat, & enjoy a moment away from their busy lives. In my classes you’ll find fun, dynamic sequences with poppin’ music & a few laughs along the way!

Fun Fact: I recently started a podcast to share more about mindfulness, movement, and all things “woo woo” – it’s called the Spiritually Active Podcast, and when I’m not working, you can find me recording episodes with amazing people!!

Jill W.

Through sports, injuries and outdoor adventures, I learned so much about what my body and mind can achieve. I obtained my fitness and yoga certifications in the past 10 years in an effort to help others to push themselves outside of their own comfort zone and find joy in movement.

Fun Fact: I am a former police officer.

Samantha

What a gift it is to serve others! My teaching is rooted in my Love for Yin yoga! I have over 300 hours of training as well as many years of studying Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Fun Fact: I started my fitness journey as a competitive bodybuilder. My body was getting strong but really tight and I started getting injured. I turned to yoga but I was too ego driven to let my fellow competitors know I was a closet yogi. When I started to out perform my peers they started questioning me! I came out and told them it was yoga!

Noé K.

With a decade of teaching experience in Vinyasa and Ashtanga yoga, along with handstands and animal movement, Noé’s yoga classes are a blend of challenge and accessibility. His journey into yoga was sparked by the profound realization that the body and mind are intertwined; how we treat our body deeply affects our thoughts and emotions.

Jennifer W.

As a massage therapist, yoga teacher, freelance proofreader, avid climber and mother of an active teenager, I am perpetually on the move.

She encourages students to honor their individual needs and creates a space to foster exploration, curiosity and possibility. She believes the yoga practice supports us in living a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

Chelsea F.

My teaching style is rooted in a sense of play and curiosity. I believe transformation happens when we can experience, feel, and realize from within. The invitation in my classes is one of homecoming – of coming into a more intimate relationship with yourself.

Wei-Ming L.

After practicing yoga and climbing for 15 years, I aim to provide a class experience that harmonizes body, heart, and mind. My approach weaves yoga philosophy, movement, and a smattering of humor into a practice that is as much a work out as a work “in.” Major influences along my study of yoga include Paramahansa Yogananda (of whom I am a disciple), Lorelai Gillmore, and Nicolai Bachman’s exposition on the Yoga Sutras.

Caitlyne C.

Caitlyne’s classes beautifully intertwine breath and heart-centric practices, enabling students to embody their present experiences. With a focus on somatic awareness, these sessions inspire a profound connection with oneself, fostering personal growth through movement. The belief that we become the teachers we once sought adds a transformative dimension to the journey Caitlyne guides her students through.

Carly B.

Since my original yoga teacher certification in 2015 I’ve focused my advanced training on trauma-informed and community-oriented yoga, which has led me to teach in a variety of non-traditional yoga settings including the International Rescue Committee and the Emily Program, in addition to traditional yoga studios and climbing gyms. My experience working with a wide array of students over the years has shaped my approach to teaching; I focus on returning agency to the student through inclusive, invitational, and non-hierarchical instruction that offers opportunities for exploration along the spectrum of effort to ease.

Ane C.

Ane approaches her teachings from the functionality of movement. In her classes she allows moments of freedom within the structure for exploration, and creates fun and spicy flows focused on Awakening Yoga. Ane’s goal is for the practitioner to find awareness within and to use that as a means to get to know their self better.

Julia A.

I’m a certified yoga instructor and have been teaching different varieties of vinyasa since 2018. I studied Neuroscience in university and am fascinated by the mind-body connection in movement and meditation. I’m passionate about helping my students find balance in their practice, and aim to create yoga flows that are both challenging and nurturing. My classes inspire you to be curious, open minded and compassionate as you invest in both your body and mind through yoga. They offer insight into your own body so that you can learn how to feel best in each posture and lovingly connect to yourself and your surroundings.

Dominique L

She loves dynamic movement focusing on challenging students of all levels, and encourages a connection of breath to movement in all her classes. Expect a challenging class, but also options that are accessible for everyone.

Dylan H.

I think moving with other people is one of the most energizing experiences, and to have the privilege of directing and influencing that movement, feels impactful to me. Every person and body is different. We all need different things to create balance, strength, longevity, and overall health – but what we do all need is a place to belong. It’s why I love teaching groups of people – community and relationships are the best elixirs for life’s challenges. And when you get to move and sweat and laugh AND watch yourself and others grow and get stronger…I truly don’t know that there is a better experience.

My background is in sports, primarily soccer. I grew up playing soccer and volleyball competitively, long distance running, and then found weightlifting in my early 20s. Once I added weightlifting to my cardio practices, I unlocked a confidence within me that both empowered me and helped me embrace my body as it is, not for what it looks like. Yoga has been a later in life love, and I couldn’t be more grateful for a practice that frees me to slow down, notice sensations, and connect to my breath as a moving meditation.

Really – I just love moving in all ways. My goal now is to share that love with as many people as I can, along with move my own body with enjoyment and longevity in mind.

Her transformative journey began at Three Jewels Enlightenment Studio in NYC, where she met her teachers, Coco, Hector Marcel and Rachel Webb. Since then, Natasha has accumulated over 600 hours of training in yoga and meditation. Natasha’s teaching is centered on fostering a deep connection with the breath and mind.
