Hillary first started yoga at a generic franchised gym in the mid 2000s. Like a typical yogi, she wandered
away from yoga for awhile, focusing on strength-training and her career. Her return to yoga happened
in 2016, when she started searching for more balance in life and found Supreme Peace Yoga. She likes to
say that's when she *really* started to understand that yoga is far more than a series of poses.

After being diagnosed with PTSD in late 2016, Hill's practice and the loving environment of Supreme Peace
Yoga became central in her ongoing healing process. She was drawn to complete the 200-hours Yoga
Teacher Training at Supreme Peace in 2017, during which time she discovered her passion for sharing
the self-healing experiences of Yoga Nidra and Restorative Yoga. Her ongoing passion is to share yoga
and mindfulness practices with trauma survivors, especially first responders.

When not on the mat, Hill enjoys lifting weights, folding blankets with love, and spending time with her
loving husband and their house full of fur babies.

Katy Stahl, ERYT 500, RPYT

After the birth of her third child Katy started on a path of self exploration.  As life was changing rapidly she searched for her deeper purpose.  This exploration became physical and spiritual at the same time and then she went to a yoga class.  Realizing there was so much more to this lifestyle down the rabbit hole she went.

Years passed and several trainings later she has emerged with education in multiple styles including prenatal yoga.  She was inspired most by the prenatal trainings and from this inspiration came the birth of the Shanti Mom Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training.  Years after the birth of her last child she knew there was a better way to prepare for birth and through the Shanti Mom Program she has been able to share this fresh perspective with many others.

She recently relocated to beautiful La Grange, Kentucky (just outside of Louisville).  She couldn't possibly have done all this without the love and support of her amazing husband Bob and four kids!  She would be amiss to not mention her gratitude for the continued yogic teachings her human and fur children offer daily! 

I am enjoying my golden years after retiring from the University of Louisville in 2018. My interests include teaching hatha and chair yoga, meditation/mindfulness classes and exercise classes for seniors.  I am a 200 hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT), a certified KORU Mindfulness Instructor and a SilverSneakers Instructor. I believe that we are our best selves when our mind and body are connected in awareness of the present moment. By bringing attention to our breath we can inhabit our bodies in a mindful way, which helps relieve much of the stress in our bodies.

Teaching Philosophy

• Increase awareness of the breath and the body so the mind can be in the present moment, which relieves stress
• Ensure safe alignment of poses with modifications and adjustments
• Encourage engagement of whole body for full benefit of the practice
• Offer a variety of poses so classes stay interesting and fresh
• Provide all ages and abilities with opportunity to build and maintain strength, increase flexibility and improve balance.

When not teaching yoga, Kelly loves the outdoors. She and her husband take daily walked, and she practices Yoga every day including some form of deep breathing and/or meditation. 

I began practicing yoga in late 2010 when a friend invited me to class. I showed up for the physical practice not really knowing what to expect (yoga was for “other” people). I was the biggest person in the class, but no matter how challenging it was (we had no props), I kept coming back for something other than the physical practice. After being away from studio practice for a few years, upon moving back to Louisville in 2015, I was pulled to the mat once again and was blessed to find Jodie and Supreme Peace Yoga. I found that “something else” again and now live immersed in asana and a personal study of yoga principles and philosophy (with an emphasis on the yamas and n...

After being away from studio practice for a few years, upon moving back to Louisville in 2015, I was pulled to the mat once again and was blessed to find Jodie and Supreme Peace Yoga. I found that “something else” again and now live immersed in asana and a personal study of yoga principles and philosophy (with an emphasis on the yamas and niyamas).

Off the mat, in my daily work with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities as a Licensed Behavior Analyst, yoga is often incorporated with the principles of applied behavior analysis. Several times a week, you are likely to find me running local and regional trails or races. Trail running is a form of “moving meditation” for me, bringing me closer to nature and knowing my true Self. I take what I learn on the mat onto the trails to enhance my athletic abilities through increased flexibility and strength…especially breathing!

Angie began practicing yoga in response to chronic neck and shoulder pain, but quickly learned that yoga’s benefits extend far beyond healing and strengthening the physical body.  As someone who struggled with severe stress and anxiety she was pleasantly surprised to discover her yoga and meditation practice helped her to become more calm and centered.

Angie began practicing yoga in response to chronic neck and shoulder pain, but quickly learned that yoga’s benefits extend far beyond healing and strengthening the physical body.  As someone who struggled with severe stress and anxiety she was pleasantly surprised to discover her yoga and meditation practice helped her to become more calm and centered. As a result, she decided to pursue teacher training and graduated from Eternal Health Yoga’s 200 ryt program in 2010. 

Angie incorporates all aspects of yoga into her classes including breath work, meditation, mantra and yogic philosophy. She believes that yoga awakens something from within that once recognized has the potential to help you better cope with stress, pursue a healthy lifestyle, deepen your spiritual practice and live more compassionately and mindfully with greater appreciation and love for your life.  

Angie is inspired to live a full and authentic life not only through yoga and meditation but through celebrating the earth’s seasons and the cycles of the moon, traveling, honoring sisterhood, howling with her pup, Reba, spending time at her cabin and laughing every day.
