Hi, my name is Sarah, and I have been teaching yoga for over 12 years! Yoga is a lifestyle and I’m grateful to be able to share this way of life with others. In the very first class I took, at a local gym as a teenager, I knew right away I wanted to become a yoga teacher. During that class I fell in love with the peace and joy yoga brought me. I’ve been practicing yoga for over 17 years and now I love practicing with my six-year-old daughter. Not on the mat you’ll generally find me enjoying the great outdoors – I love dirt biking, snowboarding, walking in nature, swimming, working out and spending time with my family.

I first began teaching before I became certified while I was on a deployment in Afghanistan. Fellow Soldiers found out I wanted to become a yoga teacher and convinced me to start right away. With encouragement and insight from my teachers back home, I began teaching yoga to the soldiers in my unit for our entire deployment. Upon my return to America in 2013, I went to the Marianne Wells Yoga School in Costa Rica and earned my 200-hour certification. I’ve since attended multiple advanced trainings with Marianne, which has led me to earn my 500-hour yoga certification in 2024. I’ve taught in hot yoga studios, senior centers, gyms and love exploring new ways to bring yoga to every body. I earned my B.S. in Parks and Recreation from Utah State University in 2014 and have been a NASM Certified Personal Trainer since 2015. I love sharing the passion I have for yoga and health with others and helping bring them to find the sense of peace they already possess inside.

Hello, everyone!

My name is Stephanie, and I have been practicing yoga for years before deciding to take the Yoga Teacher Training. I received my 200-hour certification from Studio Lotus in Boise in May 2023. My teaching style is casual and focused on exploring what feels good in your body. I encourage students to move freely and listen to their bodies rather than striving for perfection in any pose.

I integrate smaller movements into common stretches and adapt the practice based on how you're feeling—whether you're energized or needing a gentler flow. As a counselor, I incorporate mindfulness and meditation techniques to support mental and emotional well-being.

I’m passionate about learning and love connecting with people, using yoga as a tool to empower others on their own journeys of self-discovery and balance.

Mia here! I have been practicing yoga in the valley for about three years. I received my 200 HR YTT Fall of 2024 from Studio Lotus. I can remember exactly where I was at in my life when I really dove right into my practice. It was right when I finally accepted that yoga is 99.9% mental and .1% physical. Out of 196 Sutras, 2-3 of them are about the physical movement of yoga. That’s really when my life transformed. I was able to change my perspective on life, my routine, how I approach my future while staying in the present, how I incorporate movement to my life, how I fuel my body, EVERYTHING! Everything matters!

When I teach, my goal is to incorporate these perspectives, movements, confidence, and presence into my classes. I hope to leave my student’s feeling present, moved and honest with themselves. I approach my classes with guided poses, the opportunity to challenge yourself and the invitation to move your body the way YOU need.

When I’m not teaching you can find me going on walks with my dog Hank, skiing or mountain biking, sewing, or enjoying the sunshine.

I first discovered yoga in 2018 and was almost immediately hooked (as soon as the initial soreness faded). Since then, my love of yoga has deepened and spread into all areas of my life, spreading vibrancy, bravery, and rekindling my curiosity. I believe that our entire life is a journey where we are always learning and growing and yoga is a great way to emulate this. I believe yoga is truly for every body and it does not matter in the slightest what poses the body can be contorted into, but only that we continue to experience the journey. A favorite quote is, “we don’t do this practice to force our bodies into the poses, but rather, to become present”.

Hello, Yogis!

Becca here, born and raised in Southern California. My yoga journey began in 2016 when I became an empty nester, and what started as a curious visit to Bikram Hot Yoga soon turned into a life-changing passion. After two years of dedicated practice, I became Bikram certified in 2018.

Since then, life has taken me on a whirlwind journey—from SoCal to Marin County, NorCal, and finally to Boise, Idaho, where I’ve planted new roots. Through it all, my love for yoga has only grown stronger.

This practice is a powerful healer for both body and mind, and as long as I can, I’ll continue to share this passion with others.

See you in the hot room!

Hi my name is Morgan! I am a certified Pilates instructor and have been teaching reformer based and mat Pilates for a little over 2 years. Years ago I was trying to find a low impact but high intensity movement if I wanted and pilates is where I found that balance. With finding more balance in my body and feeling stronger during daily functional movement, my intention is to share my love for Pilates with all who welcome it into their body. Outside of teaching pilates you can find me practicing headstands, making smoothie bowls and spending time on the green belt, hiking the foothills or anywhere in the sunshine!!

Boise Girl since 1989. Lover of all things Artistic and Creative. Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy BSU 2006. Chef of 20 years cooking, catering, baking, etc in the treasure valley. Volunteer and Programmer at Radio Boise since 2015. Completed 200 Hr. Yoga Teacher Training Spring 2024 and has found yoga to be a deeply foundational layer to my life. Loves my family especially my daughter Sage, my partner Daniel and our cat Merlin.

Kundalini came into my life when my spiritual path felt too challenging to walk alone—I was seeking guidance, structure, and counsel. This powerful practice resonated deeply and set me on a journey to share its transformative wisdom. As a licensed massage therapist and Reiki practitioner, I’m passionate about holistic healing and often lead meditation circles in Boise’s natural spaces. My purpose is to foster community and witness the ripple of positive energy in the world. Outside of practice, I find joy in hiking, trail running, and cold water immersion.

i’ve been on my personal yoga adventure for five years now. it’s a goal of mine to continue sharing the joy of this experience with others, whether it be a broader “yoga” or simply asana practice and whatever that means to you. i have a passion for working with youth and experimenting with music.

Hello 🙏 NAMASTE to all YOGIES here!

I’m Gargi! I’ve had a passion for yoga for about thirteen years now and have been teaching professionally for seven years! Yoga has transformed my life in every possible way. Physically, I've witnessed a remarkable increase in my strength and flexibility. Beyond the physical, Yoga has had a profound impact on my mental and emotional well-being, and I believe it will do the same for you too. Yoga is not about working out, it is about working in. It's a holistic practice that promotes overall well-being. I would love to share my knowledge of YOGA with you all trough my teachings, in my teachings you can feel my true love about yoga🧘‍♀️ 🧘‍♂️

I have a master's degree in Biotechnology, though I soon realised that my real passion lies with yoga, with intensive training and education in Yoga from MDNIY(Delhi, India) and qualified from the Yoga certification board (YCB), INDIA along with RYS 500 hrs from Yoga Alliance USA.

I especially love Hatha and Astanga yoga, Pranayama (breathing practices) and Satkarma. Off the mat, you can find me mostly with my yoga practices of inversions, headstand , scorpion pose. I love advanced yoga pose(yogasanas) a lot & I love to teach advanced yoga poses to my students.

In my ME time you can find me making tea (chai) I am a tea lover, I love spending time with my family, meditating or travelling. See you on the mat!

I am an adventure loving yogi who believes in the magical connection between movement and breath and I bring a flowing style to every type of class I teach. I am an E-RYT 200 yoga teacher, trained in Cambridge, England, and teach classes all over the world and lead multiple yoga retreat per year.

Trained in yoga, yoga hiit, core strength vinyasa, Buti, trauma informed yoga, and yoga Nidra, my classes can range from energetic and challenging to slow and introspective. With the goal of enjoying yourself, ambient music is replaced with alternative tracks from pop to punk and everything between. Each flow is a choose-your-own-adventure journey where I act as your guide but the authority lies within you to take or leave what you like from each shape.

When I'm not teaching yoga or leading retreats, I'm traveling, skiing, hiking, or hanging out with my husband, two teenage boys, and my dog (Amos, the cutest dog in the world). I work as the fundraising and community relations coordinator for Upward Inertia.

Hi! I’m Carrie Nutt. I’m a Pacific NW native, a Dog Mom and an Iyengar yoga teacher. My classes are all about developing sensitivity and self-knowledge. I value the power of yoga to bring liberation. Whether it’s spiritual, physical, mental, emotional, whatever, I want my students at the end of class to feel lighter, in some way, from when they walked in.

As an Iyengar yoga teacher, I’m part of a classic system where the body is trained, educated and opened in different ways to move a student toward greater alignment. BKS Iyengar, the founder of my system said: Alignment is divinity. I work to bring students to alignment because this is when the mind is deeply absorbed within. When the mind is quiet, it brings a sense of peace. This is what I want for you.

I’ve practiced yoga for over twenty years. I took my first Iyengar class in New York City while I was working in theatre. After a move to LA, I ended up training exclusively in the Iyengar tradition and getting certified at level 2 in the City of Angels. I’m happy to be back in the NW and on this journey in with you. I’m a Level 2 Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher. I study with Abhijhata Iyengar and Anna Delury. I’m grateful for their patience, guidance and knowledge.

Hi! I’m Ashaya. I live by my imagination and heart.  I love encouraging and sparking magic in others, reminding them they are perfect and they are love.  My favorite places are found in nature, where I feel most at home as the entire world slows down.  I enjoy sharing my experience with others, observing myself throughout each life situation for soul growth and limitless learning.  Every day, we can notice more, we can grow in gratitude, we can experience joy.  Above all else, I am a lover of this journey we call life!

A seasoned yoga instructor with over 25 years of experience, I have earned a reputation for my kind, supportive, yet firm approach. Lovingly known as "The Velvet Hammer," I inspire students to never give up on themselves and to seize every opportunity. My philosophy is simple: it's never too late to begin your journey towards a healthier, happier you. Join my classes and experience the transformative power of yoga!

I've been teaching yoga for 5 years, offering a variety of classes that cater to different needs and levels. In my classes, I encourage students to challenge themselves while honoring what feels best in their bodies. Above all, I'm just grateful you’ve joined me on the mat for practice. When I’m off the mat, I enjoy spending time outside skiing, hiking, and being on the water

My yoga journey began in the early '90s with a deep appreciation for the physical practice. For years, that was all yoga meant to me—until 2015, when the loss of my mother left me feeling unmoored. At just the right moment, the Universe guided me toward a deeper exploration of yoga’s spiritual side through RYT-200 Teacher Training with the ZenSpot Institute. Teaching was never my plan, but the Universe had other ideas, and I’ve been sharing my practice as both a student and teacher ever since. In 2021, I completed my RYT-500 certification and continue to embrace yoga as a path of exploration, acceptance, and gratitude. I’m honored to be part of the LITL Studio community and look forward to growing together on this journey.

Outside of yoga, I’m an adventurer at heart. I find my greatest joy exploring the great outdoors—whether I’m snowboarding, hiking, scuba diving, whitewater paddling, or simply sitting quietly and soaking in its beauty. As a full-on Bird Nerd, I always have my binoculars handy to spot feathered friends and other critters. My love of travel and food fuels my quest for new experiences, and the best moments are those shared with friends (old and new), my husband, and my dog. 

With over 30 years of experience as an Iyengar Yoga teacher, I am dedicated to making yoga accessible and relevant to all. My teaching emphasizes precision, alignment, and the transformative power of practice—delivered with compassion and humor.

I began studying yoga in the late eighties and committed fully to Iyengar Yoga in the nineties, earning my certification as a CIYT. My studies have taken me to Pune, India, to learn directly from the Iyengar family, and I continue to be influenced by senior teachers who worked closely with B.K.S., Geeta, Prashant and Abhijata Iyengar.

I strive to connect with athletes, an aging population, and men who may have reservations about yoga. Whether you are looking to increase mobility, enhance sports performance, or overcome skepticism about yoga’s benefits, my classes offer a structured yet approachable way to integrate yoga into your lifestyle. My students often leave with greater knowledge, clarity, and focus, allowing them to practice with trust in themselves, more sensitivity and effectiveness.

Join me to experience how Iyengar Yoga can refine your movement, build resilience, and support lifelong well-being.

Heyo! My name is Mo!

I have been practicing yoga for about 7 years and decided to get more involved with something I love and have a passion for! I received my 200 HR in June of 2021 with Shanti Yoga and wanted to further my education by completing my 500 HR in March of 2022 with Shanti yoga as well. While I was getting my 500HR, I found a passion for Sound Healing with sound bowls and Drums while I was in Hawaii and knew I was where I am supposed to be. I am currently getting certified in Yin yoga and Prenatal Yoga right now.

While I teach my classes, my goal is to make you feel like you are in a safe place with no judgment for any level you are at or any feelings that may come up during a sound healing session. All are welcome! My goal is to have you feeling better than when you walked through the door or have a better understanding of the feeling you were having.

When I'm not in the studio teaching or healing, I am at home making snackies and beautiful handmade jewelry. Also finding any adventure I can be on with my loved ones and pets outdoors feeling free and resetting myself for a new day!

Yoga has been a healing part of my life for nearly a decade. I first fell in love with the practice after taking classes at the YMCA and discovering the powerful connection between my mind, body, and spirit. Since the days of YMCA yoga, I have explored Hatha, Vinyasa, and Kundalini practices.

Over the last three years, I've transitioned entirely to a Kundalini yoga practice because of the deep spiritual benefits I've experienced while in practice. I am KRI Certified in Kundalini Yoga and Meditation and was mentored in a small group cohort during an eight month intensive by Keval Kaur Khalsa (Professor of the Practice Emerita of Dance and Yoga at Duke University). I love teaching small group classes and taking yogis on immersive retreats. Off the yoga mat, I love spending time outdoors, dancing, traveling, and silversmithing.

Yoga has truly transformed my life! I've been practicing for over 10 years and notice a huge difference in my body & mental state. I have been teaching for a couple years now after receiving my 200hr certification, and will continue to expand my understanding & knowledge of the practice. I believe yoga allows us to heal our bodies and focus/cleanse our minds so we are able to better serve our peers, loved ones, and ourselves. I am thrilled for the opportunity to guide you through practice and grow in the LITL community 🤍

Hi LITL community!

My name is Elizabeth and I am a recent transplant to Boise and I am loving the beauty of the city as well as the awesome yoga offerings. I received my yoga certification in 2009, and am ACSM certified as well as certifications in HOT Pilates and Sculpt. My degree is in Nutrition, so the balance of exercise and healthy eating has been my passion as well as helping others with their fitness and goals. I look forward to seeing you all on the mat to lead you through a fun and comprehensive workout.

Hi! My name is Whitney. I discovered yoga when I was in high school, and I’ve loved it ever since! I completed my yoga teacher training in 2019 at Hollywood Market Yoga, and it’s been such a joy to both teach and take classes. Yoga has been a constant source of grounding and peace in my life.

In my classes, I focus on helping students connect with their breath, listen to their bodies, and explore what each pose feels like rather than what it looks like. I love incorporating props and offering modifications so that students of all levels feel supported and empowered. My goal is to create a welcoming and inclusive space where everyone feels comfortable, confident, and encouraged to move in a way that feels good to them!

When I am not teaching or practicing yoga, you’ll find me spending time with family and friends, hiking, skiing, camping, reading, coloring, or simply enjoying the outdoors. I hope to see you in class soon! :)

Hi! I’m Jaime and I am so honored to meet you on your mat soon!

It has been 14 wild and wandering years since attending my first Hot Yoga Class with my dear friend Lisa in Ouray, CO! As a former collegiate athlete and long distance race runner, my worn out body, soul and mind had finally found respite in silence on the mat. And I was all in!

Teaching was merely a brief thought but the universe weaved together the space and timing beautifully. I completed my 200 hr YTT in the spring of 2024, and a second 200 hr YTT graduating spring 2025, with a spinal fusion and reconstruction in between.

Yoga has been a grounding, nurturing, and healing space for me always but especially in this new season of life with my (upgraded) spine!

Embracing mindful, modified movement for the body and deep, guided connection of the soul is where I hope to meet you in your practice each class I share with you here.

I hold a special place for a super sweaty heated vinyasa flow class (ha!) but you will probably find me in a warm slow flow, functional flow, yin or chair flow class here at LITL!
