With the new addition of the Summer Special Unlimited Yoga Class Pass we have also added new guest instructors to our schedule! These talented and skilled teachers come from different training backgrounds and styles and have all completed the Utah Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training program recently. As a part of the certification and registration requirements for Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga teachers they are working toward completing teaching hours. It’s a pleasure to have them on board as a part of the team and I hope you’ll take advantage of all the classes they have to offer….

Emily
I have been teaching yoga since 2013 and have been lucky enough to teach all kinds of bodies and many different styles. Yoga is for everyBODY! I am constantly amazed by the art and science of yoga and consider myself a forever student. I finished my Prenatal Yoga training with Alicia in March 2020 after being inspired by many of my pregnant friends and their strong bodies. I try to incorporate alignment and playfulness in every class and I’m so excited to share this beautiful practice with you! Emily is a 200 E-RYT, RCYT with a BS in Exercise Science. She is an Elementary and Middle School PE teacher living and teaching yoga in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Jes
Jes was born in, and raised just outside of Seattle Washington. She grew up climbing trees, making "potions" with her sisters, and digging for GeoDucks in the Puget sound. She was a competitive swimmer into her University days. Her amazing high school swim coach taught yoga to the swim team every Friday. Jes' favorite parts were the "naps" at the end. That started her love for yoga!
She has been teaching yoga since 2015 and loves to focus on yoga across the ages. She has a special focus on teaching yoga to kids, families, expecting mamas, and all sorts of folk. She loves connecting with her wild-child side during classes and helping others do the same through play, intuition, meditation, and movement.

Miriam
Mariam Sufi, a native of Los Angeles, is a former dancer and a fitness instructor with over 15 years of teaching experience, including : belly dancing, barre, pilates, Zumba, and both heated and non-heated yoga.
Mariam is an ERYT 200, and holds 3 additional specialty certifications: Yoga Barre, Yoga Sculpt, and Yoga Vibe. Along with her yoga certifications, Mariam holds certifications in group exercise with NASM, barre with Savvier Fitness's Barre Above program and Barre3, and mat pilates with Connie Borho. She also is a certified Fitness Nutrition Specialist.
Most recently, Mariam completed an 85 hour prenatal/postnatal yoga teacher program led by Alicia Poldino of Utah Prenatal Yoga. This training was especially close to her heart because she had just become a new mother a few weeks prior. Going through the training shortly after her pregnancy journey and labor experience gave her a newfound respect and appreciation for the yoga practice and a deeper connection with her own story.
Mariam seeks to continue to connect with people and spread her love for yoga and community. Mariam currently splits her time between Washington DC and Los Angeles with her husband, baby girl, and mini labradoodle.
Mariam teaches prenatal yoga Thursdays at 8:00 am MDT
