Laura

Laura Montgomery began her studies in the Fashion Design & Merchandising industry in 2007 and then transferred to earning her Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education in 2012. She served as a K-2nd grade teacher for five years before making the choice to transition away from teaching through the school system to guiding children (and adults) to become lifelong learners of the inner academic world:our mind, body, and spirit connection. Being a writer, artist & vibrational therapy instructor, Laura loves to thread her yoga classes in ways that mirror a story or a song. She co-creates with all ages and genders but specifically specializes in the youth, inner child healing, and women's health: as these are the areas that she, herself, has been conducting back into harmony with her true Self.

Kalyani

Kalyani began practicing yoga at 10 when her mother and aunt dragged her and her cousins a to yoga class as a way to let off steam over their summer vacation. This was normal as a kid growing up in India as was practicing yoga in school during gym class.

The benefits of a regular yoga practice became apparent to her as an adult in her 20's after finding the perfect teacher at a yoga studio within walking distance of her parents' home. This yoga was a simple Hatha Yoga, with emphasis on breathing and sensitivity to one's own needs and abilities. This yoga continues to dominate her practice with added elements of alignment and flow.

She goes “back home” to this studio in Bangalore, India, every other year to continue to enrich her practice. Kalyani completed her 200 hour yoga teacher training at Kanyakumari Ayurveda and Yoga Wellness Center in Milwaukee in 2014 and has since taught at several yoga studios and gyms.

Tresa

Throughout my whole life, I have kept a deep connection to the Earth and the plants and animals that reside here. I am always seeking a natural and simple options to keep me healthy, happy and feeling good. When I found Ayurveda, I realized that it provided me with the foundation of understanding of what it means to live in harmony with nature, how important cultivating peace in my mind, body & soul. This harmony takes shape with how and what I eat, how I sleep, how I exercise and how I care for my mind and emotions. In my private Ayurveda practice, I help guide people to find that balance in their own life. Since each person have their own unique set of challenges, this process is highly customized.

A big part of my education is to teach about plant and tree medicine. For some applications, I used custom created dried herbal mixtures. For others, I use essential oils. I have been using medicinal-grade essential oils for over 11 years and have shared my experiences with many people throughout the Midwest. I have a special connection to the medicine of the plants and trees and share that connection through the use of essential oils. I have seen essential oils work their magic on humans and animals alike.

Along the way of learning, I’ve acquired some credentials.

I am a Certified Ayurveda Practitioner from Kanyakumari Ayurveda & Yoga Wellness Center. I am a Certified Medicinal Aromatherapist (Advanced) through Wisdom of the Earth, a Reiki Master Teacher and have been an active animal communication specialist for many years. I have completed the Raindrop Technique training offered by CARE (Center for Aromatherapy Research & Education). I am a Certified Shamanic Animal Healer by the SpiritHealer School of Shamanism and have completed basic and advanced course work through the Foundation of Shamanic Studies. I am a regular staff member for Camp Dogwood, hold various workshops throughout the Illinois & Wisconsin area.

I love sharing my love of the Earth and connecting with these beautiful energies. I hope you will enjoy reading, learning and sharing.

Kristin

Kristin Shuler has been practicing yoga for 15+ years and received her Yoga Teacher Certification through the inaugural class of Teacher Training at Mosaic Wellness in Germantown, WI. Her draw to yoga is the mix of physical fitness and stress reduction. Her background in science inspires her interest in anatomy and optimization of physical structures. As an overstressed, overcommitted working mom, the ability to use yoga to reduce anxiety, depression, and overall stress is a necessity. Her goal is to share this balance with similarly overcommitted individuals.
Her philosophy as a yoga teacher is to embrace and accept your body. Classes are not designed to mimic “Instagram perfect” yoga poses nor are they a full-on cardio workout. Respect where you are and relish what you can become.
