Katie is a wife and mother dedicated to raising wild and creative little humans. She made it through college by a dedicated yoga practice, then traveled the world and started a family, before returning back to yoga. She recently completed her 200-hour training at Palm and Pine in La Crosse, WI. In this busy season, she turns to yoga to calm her mind and reconnect with her body. Katie believes yoga invites embodiment, interoception, and holistic healing. She will allow the breath, movement and mindfulness of the vinyasa style yoga class to lead students to a more present moment-mindset creating more stability and ease in life.
Katie also has additional yoga training in Kids Yoga and Trauma Sensitive Yoga 20-hour workshop. During the school days she works as a teacher at a local Montessori School.
Lynn remembers her first class and the teacher proclaiming, “What was lost can be found again! All that is required is an open mind.” Lynn studied three years with T’ai Chi Instructor, Dr. Brice Wilkinson, including an 18-month internship at Grace Place. Since 2006 she practices daily movements such as those found in Qi Gong for Health & Vitality by Michael Tse and T’ai Chi The Supreme Ultimate Exercise For Health, Sport and Self-Defense by Cheng Man Ch’ing.
In 2007 Lynn added to her daily practice Dr. Baolin Wu’s Qi Gong for Total Wellness, and since 2008 is leading classes. 2013 she studied “Eight Brocades Qigong.” Fall of 2014 under Xin Yuen Zhuang’s instruction she studied more closely the Tiger Form, or Yang 24 T’ai chi. Spring of 2015 she studied Wuji Qigong which has roots to the monks who practice at the Shaolin Temple.
A dedicated student at Infinity Yoga Studio since its doors opened in 2015, Sarah is an active part of our yoga family both as a student and an instructor. Sarah brings 10+ years of dedicated yoga practice to her teaching and finished her 200 hour yoga teacher training in May 2019, with certification through Simplicity Yoga & Wellness. Sarah initiated her yoga teacher training to ease a work-life transition and to bring additional education and awareness to her own daily practice and lifestyle. Though she has experienced (and enjoys) many different yoga methods, Sarah prefers the sequencing of Vinyasa: a flow class that promotes the connection of breath and movement. In addition to her RYT-200 certification, Sarah also completed a 30-hour Trauma-Informed Yoga training program in September 2019 through Firefly International.
When she’s not practicing yoga, you can find Sarah dancing, attending local music/theater events, and spending time outdoors with her husband, Joe and dog, Olive. Sarah enjoys hiking, canoeing, and camping in our beautiful Mississippi River Valley. By day, Sarah works as a Licensed Social Worker with Hiawatha Valley Mental Center.
The reasons one comes to a yoga class may be very different, based on one’s personal needs. One student may be looking to add a new type of exercise to their weekly routine, while another may be looking for a mode of support to aid their stress; a space to promote self-care. Whatever the motivation, ultimately Sarah sees yoga as a journey of self-discovery with a great potential to heal.
