Brandy is a Utah native and has been in the medical industry for over 25 years. During her medical career she started running and training for marathons. Much of her training suggested other exercise to reduce the chance of injury. Yoga practice was a natural and logical addition to her daily routine. Its during this period that Brandy appreciated all the additional benefits, both mentally and physically that yoga offered. Yoga practice is a journey and her journey led her to Enlighten Wellness over two years ago as a student. When the Yoga Teacher Training program was announced, she felt like it would be a great way to increase her knowledge and understanding of Yoga. This 9-month journey allowed her to connect with a new group of friends, and above all, give back to the Yoga community. Brandy is earning her RN bachelor’s degree at the University of Utah, her exposure to anatomy and physiology concurrent with Yoga training has been unique and beneficial to everyone around her. Brandy’s recent education and training is a true example of Eastern and Western medical philosophies converging. She is a recent graduate of the 200 Hour Teacher Training Program.

Sweaty, invigorated and closer to yourself. That’s what you can expect from one of Madeleine’s yoga sculpt classes at Enlighten in Park City. With the breath as the anchor, Madeleine leads a motivating, beat-fueled and energetic class that leaves her students feeling joyful and fully in their power. Madeleine has always believed that movement is medicine. A former Division1 athlete, she found yoga to be a beneficial supplement to her training schedule to help with flexibility and prevent injury. It wasn’t until years later that she discovered the power the practice had by allowing her to get out of her head and into her body. Once there, Madeleine discovered that using our bodies is a critical component to changing our brains and thought patterns. Before joining the Enlighten family, Madeleine completed her yoga teacher training through Live Love Teach National Training School in Rhode Island. Madeleine believes that a strong, healthy body and a sound, peaceful mind are the gateway to a happy life - and both can be achieved through a consistent and intentional yoga sculpt practice.

After years of sneaking into class and setting her mat up in the furthest possible spot from the front, Kristin was approached by a teacher, who she looked up to with great reverence, and was told she would be a wonderful teacher and that she should do Yoga Teacher Training. With absolutely no  intention of ever teaching, and simply out of respect for a teacher she respected highly, she decided to go through with it.  Now, years later and with over 500 hours of teacher training under her belt from all different styles of yoga and locations around the world, she can humbly say that she is a yoga teacher. Kristin's core belief when guiding others on their yogic journey is to find their breath first, and only move in a way that honors that breath. When we find breath in the body, we find stillness in the mind. And when we find stillness in the mind, we are able to connect with out highest and truest Self. That connection is the true essence and beauty of yoga.
