Kelly Crowe, C-IAYT Yoga Therapist, AYS, E-RYT, YACEP, LMT Massage Therapist

Kelly Crowe, Internationally Certified Yoga Therapist and Ayurveda Yoga Specialist, believes that knowing ourselves through the classical lens of yoga helps us understand ourselves as a multidimensional system that encompasses body, breath, emotions, intellect, and their complex interactions. Healing, or reducing, and holistically managing symptoms to improve function is the basis of Yoga Therapy. Yoga's sister science, Ayurveda, offers us practical and tangible tools to change our lifestyles and reduce the causes of suffering.

Sara’s classes focus on breathwork, safety and alignment, and most of all…FUN. She firmly believes that yoga is for everybody and every body.

Audrey Parker, Reiki Master, Holistic Coach & Yoga Instructor

Audrey has a strong desire for empowering others to connect with their higher self in order to live an authentic and aligned life. She passionately believes that we are all perfectly designed for greatness.

In 2013, Audrey’s life took a turn and reached an all-time low. Her marriage and business were struggling to survive while she grew tired of carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. Although she had overcome many obstacles throughout her life, it still felt like this dark cloud was chasing her and she was tired of it. So she decided to try something different and began searching for a holistic way to deal with this thing called life. Multiple teachers, books, programs, trainings and beautiful people began appearing in Audrey’s life, providing her with tools to raise her level of awareness to the negative patterns in her life so that she could then release them and embody the woman she was always meant to be. Audrey is now creating her dream life and is amazed by it every day. Her shift in perspective helped her to realize that life is beautiful and we are not meant to suffer. This encouraged her to chase her passion to serve others.

Audrey has always wanted to be a teacher and also understands the value of being a student first. She has always valued education and finding out of the box solutions. Utilizing holistic healing modalities like Reiki, Intuitive Coaching, Yoga and Brain Based Wellness, Audrey teaches her clients practical tools to navigate through the challenges of life with grace, love and understanding. She will meet you where you are, endeavoring to walk beside you, encouraging you, teaching you and sharing her most valued tools that will empower you to change your life.
