Jess Locke

Jess Locke has been practicing yoga since 2004 and began teaching in 2007.  I am inspired by the the power of this practice to bring gentleness and awareness into our busy world, and as a teacher I hope to be an aide in others' journeys into relaxed presence and energetic, cared-for embodiment.  My current practice and teaching have been nurtured by a few different yogic paths over the years, though my main trainings have been in Vinyasa, Sivananda and, most recently, Yin and Insight Yoga with Sarah Powers.  My classes have elements of each of these styles -- plus a philosophical tidbit here and there.  In addition to my yoga asana practice, I am influenced by my studies of Western and Eastern philosophy, my Buddhist meditation practice, and my work with high school students and incarcerated youth as a Nonviolence Educator.
I am so grateful to my teachers, whose generosity and compassion have deeply benefited me.  Thank you: Jodi Carey, Mani Chaitanya, Swami Sitaramananda, Max Strom, Seane Corn, Sarah Powers, Adesha
and Roland Cohen.
See you on the mat!!


Kim Rand found and fell in love with Boulder County in 1990, moving from a small suburban town east of Boston, Massachusetts.  Kim found herself out west with the space to grow and room to continue to develop her goals in life. Her strong passion for the environment and love for the outdoors eventually landed her in the small mountain town of Nederland, Colorado, which she has called home for 18 years. She spends the best part of her free time outdoors in nature, hiking with her dog, snow boarding, river running and fly-fishing. Kim has been passionate about yoga for over 10 years. Her practice and teaching is influenced by Hatha Yoga, Baron Baptiste’s Vinyasa Flow, Jivamutki, Anusara, and most recently, Maya Yoga.

Kim’s passion brought her to Maui in April of 2009 to study Maya Yoga with her inspirational teachers Nicki Doane and Eddie Modestini. Her emphasis is on awareness, breath, alignment and the integrity of the asana allowing the space needed to move energy and create positive change in the body and mind. She feels that the foundation of the pose is essential to a healthy and sustainable yoga practice and it is through a safe and mindful practice that a student is able to heal their body and quiet their mind. Kim encourages her students to take yoga off the matt and into their daily lives promoting healthy relationships in every aspect of life.

 

Lisa Marie first fell in love with yoga in Longmont, Colorado, when she was 16. She found it created a safe space to become more connected to her body and learn to meditate through the stormy teenage years. Although her practice came and went for several years it came back for good when she discovered Bikram yoga in 2005. She quickly became addicted to the detoxifying heat and meditation required to stay in the room for an entire class. Lisa moved to Long Island, New York in ’06 and although she didn’t join a yoga studio she practiced Vinyasa Flow at her home. In ’07 she moved home to Colorado and started practicing at Solar Yoga in Longmont, both Hot Yoga and Power Flow. A year later she joined The Yoga Pod in Boulder and after practicing there for about six months began a teacher training certification at Core Power, studying Vinyasa Flow, power yoga style. It is a somewhat cardiovascular style bringing spirit and body together in a fun, joyful yoga. She received her 200 hour teacher training certificate in November 2008. She is now teaching with love, light and laughter. Namaste

 

Lisa Limoge began practicing yoga intuitively as a teenager in Burlington, Vermont. She leads a passionate, dynamic and inspirational class in the methods of Kripalu and Kali Ray Tri Yoga.

Regardless of class size lots of individual attention is given. Lisa is certified as a massage therapist and yoga teacher with 15 years experience. She has studied with many yoga masters in the USA and India.
