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.

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. 

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”.

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.

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.

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!!

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! 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, my name is Jordann! I fell in love with yoga about 10 years ago. After practicing for many years I decided to pursue teaching. I have my 500 hour teaching certification and have been teaching for four years.

I enjoy teaching various styles of yoga. My goal is to hold space for you to feel safe experiencing whatever it is your practice brings up for you that day. You can expect to be guided through poses, invited to challenge yourself, and explore movement that you need. I can’t wait to see you in class!

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

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.

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!

Hello! Glad you are here.

My name is Jackson Jensen. I have been living in Boise for 6 years. I started my yoga practice 7 years ago. My mother was the driving force to help me start my yoga practice. Yoga has helped change my mind and the outlook I have on this life. I go into my day more calm and happy because I have yoga.

Yoga is one of the most disciplined practices you will ever do in your life and that is why I teach. I want to create a space for human beings to not only change the way they see the world but also make room for expansion and growth. Yoga can be a driving force to help you tap into your truest potential of becoming the best version of yourself. It is my hope that when I teach I will help guide you into your day feeling more calm and ready for what’s to come.

All my love,

Jackson

Hello, my name is Ashley.

I bring a unique perspective to personal development and somatic healing, forged through 15+ years in wildland firefighting and aviation. I understand intimately how chronic stress affects both body and spirit. I stepped from firefighting into aviation, and through those experiences transitioned into personal and professional development.

I discovered that true resilience comes from incorporating the mind-body-spirit connection and addressing all dimensions of the human experience. As a Master Practitioner, Integrative NLP Coach, and certified Soma+IQ™ Breathwork Practitioner, I help busy professionals break through limiting beliefs and develop nervous system flexibility.

My sessions create safe containers for deep nervous system reset, guiding clients from chronic fight-or-flight into coherence, clarity, and embodied presence. I love witnessing others come home to themselves and live an empowered life.

Hi... I’m Marcy!

Yoga has been such a healing and transformative part of my life, and I am always finding myself returning to the mat (often a sweaty hot yoga mat!). My yoga journey began in college with a simple breathwork class and has transformed into a study and practice of the eight limbs of yoga. My younger self could have never foreseen all that yoga would do in my life and this keeps me excited and curious about what is still to come.

I am a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Reiki Master, sound healer and breathwork practitioner. I love teaching yoga that allow for nervous system regulation as I recognized over the years as a therapist, that the embodiment of self is what really allows for healing to occur...not just talking or thinking. I love creating slow, intentional classes that allow for stillness, safety, reflection, and a sense of community. In a world where the pace is fast and often disconnected, I strive to hold space to allow all of us to just BE. I am so excited to be offering classes, especially Reiki Yin, at the LITL studio...as I think life is even better with some added Reiki.

When I am not teaching, I love my morning meditation practice, a great cup of coffee with friends, and keeping an eye out for hummingbirds.

Yoga lived at the edges of my life for years, but in 2020, two paths converged: While navigating the physiological effects of long-term PTSD, I was also recovering from a severe car accident that left me unable to walk, sit, or stand for more than a few minutes without intense pain. My practioners and therapists at the time all pointed me toward yoga.

Downward dogs and child's pose shifted from long stretches after runs to heartbreaking and soul-liberating moments of introspection. Somatic healing became a driving force and powerful medicine. And in 2023 I received my 200 hr RYT. Since then, I've been sharing this beautiful practices in homes, studios, cafes, and anywhere they allow me to roll out my mat!

I spent many years disconnected from my body but yoga helped me come home to myself, and it is my hope to guide others on a similar path of embodiment and inner-belonging.

I am trauma-informed and love to offer gentle cues and lots of freedom in movement to those I am honored to guide through this amazing, ancient practice.

If you don't see me on a mat you can usually find me nose deep in a fantasy novel, sipping on cappuccinos, or off hiking somewhere in the Idaho mountains!

My purpose in life is to create safe spaces for people to heal. Because of this, my teaching style is compassionate, challenging and heart-centered. They always say that teachers teach what they need, and I am no exception here.

I am the first to admit I can often move too fast in life and that my (once resourceful) coping mechanism is to stay busy, productive and (what I learned as a child to be) valuable. As a trial lawyer at a top global law firm over a decade ago, I used yoga, breathwork and meditation to keep myself sane, healthy and working at my best. But it wasn’t until I left the practice of law that my yoga and meditation practice opened a path of deep personal exploration, healing, and connection to the divine feminine and the spiritual realm. And while I walk my path of healing daily (as much as one can with a 2 and 4 year old!), my teaching style is to meet each person where they are and design an experience for the energy in the room. My intention is that each person has a space to come home to themselves, again and again. I also host sacred feminine ceremony through the Living Temple every 6 weeks at my home.

While my teaching style is slow and intentional to contrast the busy-ness of our lives, you can very much expect to feel physically challenged during my classes. My classes have long holds, flowing sequences and opportunities to kick it up or relax it down based on your own body’s wisdom.

I’m a passionate and experienced yoga teacher based in Boise, Idaho, offering classes in Hatha, Power, Restorative, and Yin Yoga. My teaching style blends strength, stillness, and soul, creating space for students to move mindfully, breathe deeply, and reconnect with themselves — both physically and energetically.

Drawing on my study of yoga for women’s health and the mind-body connection, I integrate hormone-balancing practices into my classes to help students restore balance, reduce stress, and support overall vitality. I love weaving together postures, breathwork, and mindful rest designed to nourish the endocrine system and promote inner harmony at every stage of life.

Off the mat, I’m a devoted wife to Larry, a software engineer, and a proud mom of three incredible kids: Ella (22), who is pursuing nursing at the College of Western Idaho; Wesley (21), who is studying Civil Engineering at the University of Idaho; and Harry (17), a senior at Boise High School. Our family also includes Yogi and Booberry, our two beloved dogs who bring plenty of joy and chaos to our home. I’m so excited to work at a studio with a welcome dog!

Hi, I’m Rhonda, it’s great to meet you! I’m a Boise native and so excited to share my love of yoga with this community. My yoga journey started nearly 20 years ago at a hot studio in Los Angeles, all it took was one class and I was hooked! When I’m not practicing yoga, you will likely find me on the golf course, in my garden or snuggled up with my fur babies and a good book.

I’m Bri—a 200-hour yoga teacher who originally took yoga as an easy college credit…and totally hated it. Fast-forward to an autoimmune diagnosis, chronic pain, and yoga becoming the only movement my body loved—and suddenly I was obsessed. Yoga shifted my mind, body, and spirit, and I’ve been hooked ever since!

My classes are a mix of movement, breath, and chill vibes with a very curated playlist. As someone with limited mobility, I’m big on body positivity and meeting yourself exactly where you’re at. Beginners are my favorite—I love watching that “ohhh, I get it now” moment.

I’ve got 400+ vinyasa training hours (Boise to Costa Rica!), almost six years of teaching, and over a decade of personal practice. I love to write and teach yoga nidra as well.

When I’m not teaching you can find me camping, writing, baking, thrifting, crafting, reading, discovering new music, or watching movies.

Hello!

I'm happy to be your teacher! As both a generalist and lover of yogic lineages, multiple styles of yoga, including Vinyasa, Yin, Iyengar, Nosara, Ashtanga, Hot, Mommy/Baby, Sound Healing, and others, have led me through a journey of stress reduction to mindfulness, physical therapy to wellness, and healing to thriving. I've been a student of yoga for 20+ years, graduating with a 300-hour certification from True North Yoga in 2023, in addition to other specialized yogic training. I'm a creative problem-solver and life-long learner, and I'm excited to meet you on the mat in a journey to your truth. Also, I'm a dog mom, mom, writer, editor, and earth lover.
