Born and raised in beautiful Western Montana, I came to Park City in 2015 for a fresh start. With the encouragement of a dear friend, I initially came to yoga for a new form of exercise. What followed changed my life.
Yoga opened my body, my heart, my soul. It helped me release trauma and grief that I had been storing for years. I was cracked open and there was no going back. I achieved new levels of physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental strength. I found myself.
I completed my 200hr immersive yoga teacher training in Nosara, Costa Rica. A beautiful, magical place that speaks to my soul.  I am honored to guide classes and hold space for all yogis in this amazing community of Park City. When not taking or teaching a yoga class, I can (perhaps)  be found exploring the mountains and deserts of this gorgeous state

 Nicole’s yoga journey began in 2011, igniting a passion that’s been guiding her light ever since. She immediately noticed how difficult it was to surrender to her overthinking mind and tune into her breath, knowing this was something she needed and fully embraced the challenge. In 2019, she became certified for her 200 hour RYT at Atmananda Yoga Studio in New York City. The following year Nicole traded in her New Jersey  roots for the mountains of Utah leading to creating lasting memories and unforgettable adventures. You will find her bouncing between classes, soaking up the local wisdom from the amazing pool of instructors that we have access to here in Park City. She continues to learn about the many disciplines of yoga and broadens her education with teacher trainings rooted in the philosophy of yoga, advanced sequencing, and trauma informed teaching styles. Her classes are structured around a more gentle style of alignment focused, heated vinyasa flows that feature upbeat music allowing you to drop into your breath and practice mindfulness. Her yoga philosophy is based around the belief that we do yoga not just for ourselves, but for the people around us so that we can go out into the world leading with kindness.

Discovering yoga in 2010 after graduating college, Victoria fell in love with the practice of asana. Studying the postures and how they shift and move energy within our anatomy transformed her understanding of the body, breath, and mind, and how they are interconnected. 

In pursuit of a genuine yogic lifestyle Victoria completed the Anusara School of Hatha Yoga teaching programme in 2015, and another 200-hour yoga teacher training with world renowned instructor Talia Sutra in Chamonix, France in 2019. Victoria holds the seat of teacher from the heart first and head second, nurturing a deep sensitivity to her students and the authentic approach to yoga.

 Penelope has been teaching health and movement for four decades and became passionate about yoga after moving to Park City 16 years ago. Penelope is trained in Hatha and Somatosensory yoga, with a focus on developing strength and fluidity in movement, based on alignment and conscious movement, while also encouraging students to intuitively explore the uniqueness of their bodies and practice. This begins with breath. A key component of Penelope's instruction is the connection of mind, body, and spirit, beginning with developing a deeper relationship with the breath and connecting to its natural power as a tool for healing, transformation, and relaxation. By consciously and compassionately connecting with the body and breath, they become anchors into the present, creating greater clarity and awareness, which allows access to a simpler flow of life. Her intention is that her students leave the studio feeling a little less heavy in their minds and a little more open in their bodies.

In addition to yoga, Penelope teaches guided meditations and is a certified Forest Therapy Guide with ANFT, also certified in Wilderness First Aid.

Penelope has a Master of Science in Exercise Physiology and Clinical Health Coaching from the University of Utah, where she held a faculty position for several years teaching graduate students Mind/Body Interventions in Complementary and Alternative Medicine. She has also worked extensively in community health promotion. She served on the Executive Leadership Board for the American Heart Association and currently serves on the Community Action Board for the University of Utah College of Health Sciences. Penelope is also a national speaker, focusing on living healthfully in the face of chronic disease.

Shayla was first introduced to yoga while filming a movie in India during her years of childhood acting. Her opposition turned into a burning passion after feeling a call to get out of her comfort zone and onto the mat years later. Yoga helped her navigate through high school and her own personal journey, ultimately inspiring her to take a gap year to complete her 200-hour teacher training. She followed the trail of her excitement and took a solo trip to Asia where she immersed herself in her own practice and her role as a forever student. She is now 20 and has trained in Vinyasa, Yin, Ayurveda, Reiki and Breathe to the Beat Breathwork. She loves finding connecting principles to bring what’s learned on the mat into the yoga practice of life. Although she will always be a forever student to the divine wisdom of all that is, she hopes the teacher within herself can inspire those who resonate. Through her classes, she encourages students to meet themselves where they are, embrace the present moment, and remember how special and divine they are. She cultivates an experience to connect mind, body and spirit through intentional flows, inspirational music and conscious theming. She’s honored to share this practice and its medicine with those who feel called!

Mom to 3 humans and 1 dog (I don’t even try to pretend to love my kids as much as my goldendoodle), Music Teacher and International Artist. Her family recently returned to the US after living in Tokyo, Japan (konnichiwa!)—she has bounced around the world with various work assignments. She feels gratitude to have found this lovely Enlighten Yoga Family while living in BeaUtahful Utah!

Kristi loves to teach slow flow, restorative, hatha, vinyasa, warm stretch/rolling. In Japan she trained under a reiki and yoga master to receive additional experience in hands-on adjustments and spinal alignment. Living in Asia offered opportunities to learn and deeply appreciate Zen Buddhism and meditation; she weaves those teachings into her personal practice and instruction (there are teenagers in my house, need I say more?).

She is currently volunteering at an at-risk alternative highschool in SLC, teaching yoga and mindfulness courses at Bridled Up Hope (an equine therapy center for women and teenage girls), and leads weekend retreat experiences—a fusion of art and yoga—at a hot springs resort center in So.Idaho.

Her goal before turning 50 next year (woohoo!) is to attend a silent retreat at a wonderful ashram in No. India (Dharamshala धर्मशाला) and eat an embarrassingly indulgent number of dosas with coconut chutney.

She has been enjoying skiing, hiking, and visiting Park City since she was a kid and she has fallen in love with not only the mountains but also the community in Park City. She works at the hospital in Park City and looks forward to bringing her yoga practice to the area. Nursing has inspired her yoga practice and benefited to her and her students physical and mental practice. She loves learning about the anatomy and physiology of the body and the ways that yoga can strengthen the body and calm the nervous system. Liz believes that by using breath and movement through yoga it produces a healthier physical, mental and emotional state for herself and her students.

Christine Fischer completed her 200-hour teacher training in the 2023-2024 Center Studio SLO cohort after finding a loving connection with studio. Grounding and strength are the foundations of Christine’s practice that continue to grow as she teaches. She guides with energy, compassion, tranquility, and honesty in each of her yoga classes.
Christine became an avid practitioner at 16 after retiring from competitive skiing. She found solace and flourished in her practice in 2020 when she moved to San Luis Obispo to attend Cal Poly. The ability of asana to create synergy between the physical body and mind is what makes yoga so valuable to Christine. Christine hopes to share her knowledge of the origin and values of yoga so that each student can have a strong foundation of yoga, tap deeper into their own practice, and move with radiant energy!
