Whitney Whetten
Through yoga and art, Whitney wishes to bring greater health, harmony, and happiness to individuals, to the community, and to the world. She began her journey with yoga when she took her first yoga class at the age of 15. She immediately knew that she had found a path worth exploring. Within a decade, she went on to receive her yoga teacher certification and has furthered her education with a 500 hour certificate and an aerial yoga teaching certificate. Having received her Bachelor's of Science degree in Biology and her minor in Dance at UNM, her classes are full of creative exploration and anatomical awareness. Through intention, breathing, asanas, and meditation, Whitney aims to leave her students feeling refreshed and renewed after each class.
Roberta
Forester
Roberta has been practicing yoga for many years and is a 500 RYT with the Yoga Alliance. Her classes creatively combine a variety of yoga styles, including Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin, Restorative, and Kundalini, and she incorporates breath, energy, and meditation practices. She specializes in instructing pose kramas (stages) and encourages the use of modifications and props so that all students feel empowered to personalize their practice and work safely. Her sincere desire is to create an experience where people can learn to reconnect with their own body, mind, and spirit—and have FUN!
Emily Hibbs
In 2013, Emily began practicing yoga and meditation daily to help her pregnancy. The practice became a source of divine intervention, providing a framework for holistic health and healing. In 2020, she became a 200hr RYT and started teaching Hatha Yoga. Hoping to become more inclusive and to work with the entire family unit, Emily went on to complete a 95hr Children’s YT training and then received a 85hr Prenatal plus 20hr Postnatal YT training certification.
Maya Cameron
Maya is an energetic yoga instructor teaching traditional Hatha principles and trained in India. Yoga continues to help her process trauma and take back control in her body. Deeply falling in love with yoga just after her mother died, she finds healing anywhere people are gathered to breathe, move, and be themselves. She is grounded in a constant practice to be present and find what feels good.
Rachel Palsce
Rachel completed her yoga teacher training in Costa Rica and became certified through Yoga Alliance in 2021. Her classes incorporate a mix of vinyasa and hatha yoga styles, with an emphasis on breath and mindfulness to help heal and connect with body, mind, and soul. I believe everyone has light inside them and that yoga can be a powerful way to help that light shine. Come shine with her!
