Yoga Teacher
Zoe
Zoe started her yoga journey ten years ago, taking power yoga classes supplemental to her dance training. Zoe danced for 18 years, and in that training developed a love for movement and a deep awareness of the body.
After a stretch of life-changing events in 2019, she started taking her yoga practice more seriously, along with meditation and somatic movement. During this time, she decided she wanted to pursue movement as a medium to heal the body, mind, and spirit.
She completed her RYT200 in 2022 and strives to help others strengthen their mind-body connection through various yogic practices and encourage the beautiful healing journey that comes with that.

Yoga Teacher

Misty began her yoga journey 12 years ago as a form of physical therapy after having back surgery. Little did she know that yoga would open her world to a new passion and path in life. Throughout the 12 years, Misty has experienced the benefits of yoga mentally, physically, and spiritually.
After years of yoga being a hobby, something was telling her that it was time to make a move toward a long wanted goal. Misty completed her certification in RYT 200 course.
She enjoys a good mix of power hot yoga, slow flow vinyasa, and restorative. In her classes you’ll get a good workout and relaxation experience.

Yoga Teacher
Haley
Haley has practiced yoga on and off as a fitness routine since college, but began a regular yoga practice at the beginning of 2022 at Balance & Breath after injuring her knee as a long distance runner. She discovered that yoga not only helped her to physically heal, but also transformed her mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Yoga became a necessity in her life after developing a love for running and fitness, and the close community of teachers and students at Balance & Breath led her to become energized about the idea of teaching yoga to others. She received her RYT200 training and certification from the studio in 2022.
Haley loves a high energy yoga class, but is also passionate about helping athletes use yoga for injury prevention and recovery.
