Leigh Ann Lamitola- I knew that yoga was something I wanted to incorporate into my life as soon as I took my first class. After being in a high stress office job for several years, I found yoga and I truly believed that this awareness practice was my destiny. Through my practice and training, yoga has helped me grow as a person and I want to be able to share what I’ve learned with others. Yoga has taught me patience and acceptance while increasing my spiritual beliefs and confirming my belief that all things happen for a reason. I have experienced the power of positive energy through yoga. When I’m not on my mat, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our dog. I also love hiking, skiing & going to see live music.

Michelle L. Kaye-
 Michelle L. Kaye has literally been dancing her whole life, and her dance career has had several major milestones over the years. From early childhood dance classes to performing with the popular swing band: "The Cherry Poppin' Daddies" (not the best band name in history, but sure fun to dance with!).
Up to the present day, taking classes from Carol Brunelli: a Soul Sweat, Planet Motion, and Zumba instructor. It was in one of Carol's classes that Michelle was invited to audition for the En Fuego Dance production: Evolution, in the summer of 2009. Through Paola Osma, the director of En Fuego Productions, Michelle found her Latin soul and her passion for various forms of Latin dancing through dancing the Reggeton, the Mambo, and Merengue.
Michelle - who is also an Equine Assisted Psychotherapist and Licensed Professional Counselor, as well as a professional actor - finds that dancing allows her to express herself in a truly authentic way. Training with Kendra of Planet Motion affords her the freedom to express her own unique style, her sense of humor, and her sense of adventure through the journey of becoming a Planet Motion instructor. Without the support of Kendra and Jillian- individually as well as collectively - Michelle would never have had the courage to follow through with achieving this dream.

Molly Armour-
I discovered Yoga in 1999 and have been inspired to find peace in every moment ever since. As an artist, I have always been fascinated with photography for it kept me present in order to capture light and life around me. I loved being able to capture my unique perspective and share it with others. As a Yogi, I have now learned the art of arriving in the present moment and cultivating pure energy from within, in order to share my genuine self with others. For me Yoga is truly a healing art form that empowers people to accept and illuminate their true selves through movement, conscious breathing, meditation, and chanting. In 2005, I received my 200 hour teacher certificate from the Nosara Institute of Interdisciplinary Yoga in Costa Rica with Don and Amba Stapleton. In 2007 and 2008, I participated in 10 day Vipassana Meditation silent-retreats at the Goenka center in Onalaska, Washington and Dharamkot, India; both of which greatly informed my physical practice. My experience in India greatly influenced my practice and understanding of Yoga. I studied both Yoga and Tibetan Buddhist meditation with various teachers. Currently, I am studying in the lineage of Krishnamacharya and travel to San Francisco once a month to study with master teachers Chase Bossart and Kate Holcombe at the Healing Yoga Foundation. In addition, I just completed the 150 hour Yoga for Cancer Survivors Program and internship with Laura Kupperman in Boulder, Colorado. I offer a donation based Healing Yoga for Cancer Survivors class open to those with any type of cancer and any phase of survivorship. My classes are gentle, yet powerful and are sure to help you navigate the obstacles of the mind and life by gracefully linking the mind and body with compassion.

During my college days at the University of Colorado, I discovered Power Yoga. After graduating with my Biochemistry degree, I decided to pursue massage therapy. My studies at the Boulder College of Massage Therapy helped expose me to more holistic healing methods and classical ways to promote healthy lifestyles, allowing yoga to become a necessary part of my life. My initial journey into the world of Power Yoga led me to appreciate various forms of yoga and I have since become attracted to Prana Flow Yoga.
I knew I wanted to share my love of yoga with others and obtained my 200-hr RYT certification through the Shiva Rea’s Prana Flow teacher training program under the mentorship of Maria Garre. I am continuing my yoga studies through Shiva Rea’s global 500-hr teacher training certification, and Shannon Paige’s 300-hr teacher training certification right here in Boulder, CO.
