Our Team

Marsha has trained directly with Baron Baptiste since 2008 and is 500 Hour Certified (E-RYT 500) through the Baptiste Power Vinyasa Institute. She assists Baron at yoga trainings worldwide.

For Marsha, yoga is about breaking open. It’s about dropping what you know, and diving into what you don’t know with an open heart, faith and courage. It’s about facing fears, dancing with them, crying with them and eventually laughing at them as you wave good bye.

Marsha’s all-levels classes are about this process of waking up. Slowly opening your eyes to who and what you are and the power within. The combination of breath, flow, heat and sweat begins to rinse out and cleanse away years of worn out ways of being and thinking that don’t serve you. What starts to show up is an authentic, unstoppable, passionate being who doesn’t ask permission to shine!

Scott first started his yoga journey 26 years ago, and has been practicing regularly in Boulder for the last 18 years. He is an E-RYT  200hr. certified teacher, and has completed 200 hour teacher trainings directly under both Baron Baptiste and a second Vinyasa certification through Tillai.  Additionally, Scott is honored to have studied extensively with Shiva Rea and Seane Corn, and weaves in trainings from a broad background of master teachers including Jeanie Manchester, Shannon Paige and Richard Freedman.  His yoga influences are diverse with experience in multiple schools of Power yoga, prana vinyasa, vinyasa flow, Ashtanga, Iyengar, Acro Yoga and partner yoga. Scott has explored an equally wide variety of personal wisdom and spiritual traditions including years gaining insight through the teachings of Gangaji, multiple Buddhist lineages, native American practices, Landmark Education, and his strong Jewish roots. Lastly he weaves 30 years of Contact Improv dance, martial arts (3rd degree back belt in Karate), massage and somatic personal development work into his unique practice.

Scott co-leads Radiance’s Teacher Trainings and guides a rigorous Baptiste Journey Into Power sequence. He believes that once we have developed a strong rooted center through our individual practice, that the challenge and opportunity of yoga is to then step off our mats and create healthy and uplifting relationships all around us. As such, Scott has made enhancing and supporting the larger Boulder and Colorado yoga community a core value for Radiance.

Over the last twenty five years, Kate has practiced many styles of yoga as a vehicle to support her own healing and evolution. Kate’s great love of yoga has significantly impacted her practice, life and spirit, and has taught her a greater understanding of the healing power of breath and movement within the physical, emotional and spiritual layers of the human body. Kate completed Hot Yoga Teacher Training in December 2008 and went on to train with Ana Forrest in October of 2009, which was one of the most pivotal experiences of her evolution as a yoga teacher. Kate was reminded of the healer she was meant to be by being provided with a space for her to take a deep and honest look at the protective barriers holding her back in life. In 2010, Kate met her spiritual teacher, Trudy Welty, who teaches her methods of living as a sensitive being in this world by building a bridge working with Mother Nature and the human experience in a cohesive internal balance.

As Kate continued teaching and evolving in her healing ways, how she taught yoga shifted, and through her healing evolution, she was guided and then inspired to create a yoga style that worked with the elements of nature. Kate began this creation with Kelly Kessen, a teacher of Five Element Acupuncture, and Earth Ways Yoga was born. Kate and Kelly invited Trudy Welty, a well-trained naturalist, to add even more depth of relationship between the natural world and humans’ evolution toward walking in balance on this earth in honoring all the relations. Earth Ways Yoga builds the bridge between Mother Nature and the human experience through yoga, meditation and ritual. Kate, Kelly and Trudy are honored to be able to stand together to offer Earth Ways Yoga Teacher Trainings to those who are ready to stand in an authentic way as a teacher in this world.

Kate’s teaching will help unlock barriers that have held you back from walking a path of vibrancy in this life. Kate is honored to be able to bring her great passion for the art of healing to all who cross her path. Kate also facilitates healing circles in her community, which incorporate the 7 Directions, the 5 Elements and relationship building with the Natural World in order to help you stand stronger on your walk in this world. Kate has a flourishing private practice in Boulder, Colorado. Private sessions incorporate guidance through deeply intuitive energy work and breath work to live in a better way with mind, body and essence as a sensitive being in this world. Kate provides a sacred space and tools to help her clients facilitate their own healing processes.

Hi, my name is Sandy! My introduction to yoga occurred when I least expected it.

I was living an unconscious, hurried and hectic life outside of my body.  I numbed and avoided difficult or challenging emotions.  Suppressing these negative emotions made them all the more toxic in my being.  I felt lost, and, despite trying to problem-solve, I didn’t know how to stop the wheels of chaos.  Then a friend invited me to my first yoga class.  I had no idea what I was doing, but after the class I felt a calmness that was intriguing and novel.  So I continued to go and discovered a sense of relief just from being on my mat.

Over the years, I have practiced many different styles of yoga, which led to my discovery of Earth Ways Yoga, a style of yoga that is rooted in the natural world, native ways and ancient Chinese philosophy known as 5 Element Acupuncture.  Earth Ways Yoga spoke to me on every level- mind, body and essence.  In August, 2017, I completed my 200-hour teacher training and have been committed to teaching ever since.  My class offers a safe, judgment-free environment for you to find authentic expression.  You will be encouraged and supported to breathe consciously while exploring your relationship to the poses through your sounds and sensations.

Through yoga, I have learned the value of slowing down and consciously connecting back to myself.  I have witnessed my own transformative journey that continues to develop and deepen each and every day.  I am humbled and honored to guide you on your mat wherever your journey takes you.  I hope to see you in class.  With gratitude.

Meghan’s yoga journey began in 2014 when she was met with a diagnosis that required
a total shift in how she approached her body. Confronted head on by the impermanence
of her own physical form, Meghan underwent a spiritual transformation — devoting
much of her time to the miracle and medicine of movement. As her body began to
change, she found the practice of yoga deeply therapeutic. It taught her the art of
surrender, and the value in letting go (among many other things). Since then, she has
devoted fully to this practice, and has extended it out to all areas of her life, including
her career.
Meghan is currently pursuing a Masters of Arts in Clinical Mental Health and is doing
research in epigenetics, the philosophy of medicine, and holistic healing. Her long-term
goals include opening a counseling center that combines mindful movement with the
power of talk therapy.
Meghan believes everyone is worthy of this practice and is inspired to making this
healing accessible to all body types, abilities, and skill levels. Her skills include the use
of props and modifications, as well as reading a room and offering a depth to each
posture. She believes in the power of mind over matter and enjoys the balance of effort
and ease in her sequencing. Her sequences will push you hard enough to make you
realize you’re stronger than you imagine, and back off enough to discover something
new.
She is an advocate for body positivity and is less concerned with how the posture looks
in the mirror and much more interested in how you show up in your shape. Her passion
for holding space and authentically relating comes through very clearly in her classes.
“My Body Is My Temple And Asanas Are My Prayers” B.K.S. Iyengar

Alyx fell in love with yoga as a child and as she grew her practice grew with her. She recieved her 200hr AYA certification in 2015 and began teaching various styles of Yoga while on the East Coast. Upon moving to Colorado she received her AYA accredited Yin Certification and has been studying Kindalini Yogic Philosophy as well.

She values the concept of taking yoga off the mat and incorporating the principles into everyday life to create a more harmonious and joy filled way of life.

Mimi has been sharing the joys of movement with others her whole life. She began sharing her yoga practice with students in 2010 and could not imagine her life path any other way. She received her 200 hour certification in the tradition of Tantric Hatha yoga and later discovered her love of Ashtanga during a Rocket Vinyasa teacher training. This sparked a drive to travel to Mysore, India, the epicenter of Ashtanga where she studied under the guidance of BNS Iyengar, Vijay Kumar and Saraswati Jois. During her trips she was strongly influenced by her time with Professor M.A Jayashree and M.A. Narasimhan who instilled in her the love of chanting through sruti parampara.

You can expect a practice
that emphasizes breath and energetic awareness, tailored to the season, time of day and energy of the space. Her classes range from grounding introspection to more dynamic, heated flows.

Off the mat, Mimi performs and teaches with Frequent Flyers Aerial Dance. She credits the magic of yoga for keeping her body safe and balanced for the rigors of dancing through the air.

Kate discovered yoga 10 years ago, but really dove into expanding mind, body and soul six years ago.  A survivor of advanced cancer and expansive trauma as a child and young woman, yoga brought life back to her entire being. Kate focuses deeply on trauma and how it manifests into dis-ease within the body, mind and spirit.  How do we gently caress these spaces and come back to life as our trueSelf? She brings her Native roots into every practice, reminding you that you are not separate from this Earth.  You are one. The pain you are living with is lovable. Kate has also worked with Children in class settings for 15 years and is a mother to a nine year old boy.  Working with children in a mindfulness practice is so rewarding, giving children the tools to self regulate and become grounded and confident in their sweet and pure trueSelves. Let’s breathe together, let’s remember together, let’s heal together. Namaste.

Tiffany has been a devoted student of Yoga since it became her most healing medicine in 2015. Through diligent practice, she fell in love with the surrender and presence required to stay in practice on the mat. Attending as many classes as she could and learning from both teachers and students alike, she found a deep spiritual connection to her inner-knowing and decided she wanted to share this powerful, ancient wisdom with others. Following an intuitive call to teach, Tiffany obtained her RYT 200 through a Baptiste-inspired teacher training in Ohio, and now teaches a variety of Yoga styles. She aims to bring a quality of safe-space, release, and personal power to the classroom, encouraging each student to listen to their own innate mind-body wisdom. She believes that through gentle awareness, strong presence, and an attitude of kindness, any energy can return to its natural state of unconditional Love. In reverence of the roots of India’s greatest gift to the West – Tiffany believes that with respect and creativity, we can keep the magic of yoga alive forever.

Shiela’s youth was filled with tutus and toe shoes, cultivating a strong passion to move. In her twenties, she spent 3 years criss-crossing India, trekking through the Himalayans with Buddhist monks, studying at Buddhist and yoga ashrams, discovering India’s beautiful beaches and ancient architecture. She recognized that yoga and meditation gave her the same sense of connection, bliss and gratitude as dance did. After her first teacher training at the Sivananda Ashram in Kerala, she began to teach yoga to fellow travelers in ashrams and meditation centers. Her travels culminated in a four month stay in Mysore, studying with the founder of Ashtanga Yoga, K. Pattabhi Jois. Back home, she studied extensively with Richard Freeman, senior teacher of Ashtanga Yoga. She has had the delight to teach singer/songwriter Micheal Franti and many other amazing beings over twenty years in yoga studios across the states: San Fransisco, New York City, Denver and now the sweet community of Boulder, Colorado.
In 2014, she received a MA in Religious Studies from Naropa University including over 1,000 hours in yoga teacher training. She created yoga programs for women and girls in halfway houses, aligning with the altruistic power of social justice. She developed yoga programs for students (and her two children) in the Boulder Valley School District, helping to guide our next generation. She continues to seek outreach opportunities to bring yoga to communities that could greatly benefit from the gifts of movement and breath.
In her studio class, you will become stronger, more flexible and feel a deep sense of alignment. Her class creates space to uncover one’s true self. She strives to induce a meditative atmosphere allowing you to fall into your own process of discovery.
She believes in the power of breath. By connecting to our breath, we can then connect to our inner strength and fully settle into a present experience of life. From this place, we become more joyful, loving and helpful persons.
