Right from her first Restorative Yoga class, she experienced the profound healing you get from the wonderful practice. She found peace and exhilaration; she found her passion.

Emily

Emily is a West Michigan native who was called home to Grand Haven after spending the last 10 years in Chicago. While in Chicago she discovered yoga by getting dragged by a friend to a free intro week at CorePower and unexpectedly got hooked! She specifically fell in love with Yoga Sculpt (yoga with weights). She was drawn to this music-based class, the intense work-out, and the energetic feeling of moving and breathing together as a community. In between jobs, she decided to do Yoga Sculpt Teacher Training where her passion and connection to the yoga community was amplified. Her classes are upbeat, challenging yet accessible, and FUN. She is stoked to bring this format to West Michigan and hopes you will join her at Wildflower.

Jenn

From a young age, Jenn has always felt the healing energy from the forest and had a deep rooted love for nature. You can find her most days barefoot, taking time to pause and appreciate the gifts from our earth. She often weaves these elements into her Vinyasa classes to create a meditative and grounding flow allowing life to breathe through us in the present moment. She and Brittany Jaskowiak founded Sacred Moon School of Yoga in 2019 and love sharing their knowledge and passion of yoga, guiding others to find their voice and style in becoming yoga teachers themselves.

Dan

Dan grew up in West Michigan and is proud to call the Lakeshore his home. He found yoga by chance when he wanted to gain flexibility after playing sports and lifting weights his entire life. Yoga has been a part of his daily life for nearly 10 years, in which he has instructed for five. Dan loves incorporating functional movement with breath and upbeat playlists with flow. His hope is that each class challenges you in a different way so you can grow your practice and move freely throughout the world.

Mallory

Mallory started practicing yoga in high school and has been hooked ever since. She did her yoga teacher training in 2016 at Samma Karuna School of Awakening and Healing in Thailand. She teaches a vinyasa style class with modifications to fit all levels of practice. Outside of yoga, Mallory loves spending time outdoors with family and friends.

Hayley is a very tactile practitioner, teaching with & encouraging touch to facilitate health, conscious communication & self expression.

Emily r.

Emily’s first experience with yoga was taking classes with friends during college, but she found that regular yoga practice was exactly what she needed to become the best mother she could be in 2018. Finding peace with breath and movement and allowing herself to nurture her body, mind, and soul allowed her to be the patient and loving parent her kids needed. 

In 2020, Emily decided to move forward and to take Yoga Teacher Training under Kristine Mast so she could share this transformative practice with others. As the world shifted that year, her reliance on the practice of yoga became even greater. It went from focusing on asana (physical postures) to becoming entranced with breathwork and yogic philosophy. 

In 2021, Emily went online to become certified to guide her favorite style of yoga, yin. Yin was the gateway to her meditation practice and believes it can work for many others who have struggled with sitting meditation. She found that being able to focus on sensations in the body and tapping into the Parasympathetic nervous system through the breath was the meditative experience people from all walks of life could benefit from. 

Emily is a dedicated yogi who loves reading, hiking, and swimming.  When she is not at the studio she is spending time with her husband, two boys, and their naughty beagle.

Brittany

In March of 2012, Brittany completed her 200 hour teacher training at Transcending Yoga in Swansboro, NC. One year later she become certified in Prenatal Yoga by Heart Song Yoga in Wilmington, NC. In December of 2016 she then completed a training certifying her in Yoga for Kids and Families by Rainbow Kids Yoga. In 2019 Sacred Moon School of Yoga was created with her dear friend and business partner, Jenn Jettner. What fills her cup? Spending time with her husband, their son Griffin, teaching, hiking, snowboarding, cooking, girl’s nights, and sunshine. Her favorite quote is, "Life isn't meant to be easy. It’s meant to be lived. Sometimes happy, other times rough... but with every up and down you learn lessons that make you strong."

Lauren

Lauren has her 200 hour yoga teacher training through Yoga Alliance, completing her training with Sacred Moon School of Yoga. While her first movement language and career is dance, Lauren has been practicing yoga for over ten years, deepening her practice upon her return to Michigan and finding grounding at Rootdown Yoga in Muskegon. Lauren enjoys Vinyasa classes, connecting breath with movement. She incorporates her experience as a dance instructor within her yoga practice, always finding the dance between breath and body. She feels this style of practice transports her to a deeper place of awareness, and loves putting together unique flows with creative transitions. Lauren believes asanas should challenge us, either physically or mentally, to break through any barriers that block the discovery of one’s inner strength and light.

In 2014 Fred began his study of yoga at Muskegon Yoga Center. It immediately resonated with him and in 2015 he completed my RYT 200 level yoga teacher training with Hilaire Lockwood. He is currently perusing my 300 RYT with an expected completion in 2017. He continues to practice yoga regularly, and some might say obsessively.
