REFLECT
Dawn Puusa, Be Still Yoga

 Sleep Meditation
A journey inward to evolve, grow, and explore what kind of person I want to become.  A struggle because I have to love all of me and sometimes be uncomfortable at the moment. 
A creative expression because there is such joy in finding movement, flow, and strength as you move through your practice. 

I want to share these things with fellow yogis. Help them to discover their own journey. To provide them an opportunity to acknowledge and understand the beauty of being uncomfortable. Closest to my heart is the creativity, to find the dance of movement which is unique to each of us.

Allie Chisholm-Smith Yoga
Flow Yoga Class
Self-knowledge (understanding), leads to self-love. It is through this process that we are capable of finding wellness. Throughout my 2 decades of teaching Yoga and constant studies in Ayurveda, I encourage people to find self-knowledge and power from within through the practice of asana and breath.  My teaching spans from Restorative as deep central nervous system calming, to vigorous explorations into the fascial structure and ways of being.

​Melissa Kottelenberg,Certified Holistic Health Coach and Wellness Educator, doTERRA.
Essential Oils for Well-Being

She helps overworked and stressed out individuals to prioritize nutrition, exercise, stress management, and healthy lifestyle habits so that they can live vibrant, energized, and focused lives. She’s also a Mama of 5 and ‘heart mom’ to a 12 year old heart warrior. He was born with severe congenital heart defects which required three open-heart surgeries by the time he turned 2 years old. Several years ago she and her husband Brian were really frustrated with the constant struggles with their son’s respiratory health; his frequent hospital admissions and constant need for antibiotics to fight every little cough and cold. At 4 years old, when he started developing resistance to the antibiotics and they no longer worked for him, they thought to themselves, "There's got to be a better way." And so they asked a question that changed their lives forever, “Is there a safe, effective and affordable way to keep our son out of the hospital and support his health naturally?" What they discovered changed the course of their entire lives and empowered them as parents, so they set out on a mission to empower other families, communities and even the world.
