Meet Andi:
"The path of self-discovery is never linear, but when we embrace it with openness and courage, we move through life with greater clarity, depth, and freedom." 

Andi brings a deeply personal and intentional approach to her teaching, drawing from over a decade of study in yoga, meditation, breathwork, somatic therapy, and spiritual practice. Her classes blend creative sequencing, purposeful flow, and intelligent body mechanics to guide students into a full-body experience that’s both grounding and expansive. Through movement, breath, and self-inquiry, Andi creates space for students to explore the deeper layers of themselves - physically, emotionally, and energetically. 

Meet Steve:
“My mission is to inspire and empower people to find their self-awareness, enabling them to grow, evolve, and discover their own joy in life.” 

With a background that spans from college football at the University of Nebraska to years of experience as a personal trainer, yoga teacher, Pilates instructor, and energy worker, Steve brings a well-rounded and deeply personal approach to fitness and well-being. His classes blend movement, mindfulness, and self-awareness, creating space for guests to strengthen both body and mind.  He is also the author of three books, where he shares his unfiltered insights on personal growth and conscious living.

Ultimately, Steve’s passion lies in helping people grow, evolve, and find their own sense of joy through self-discovery.
