Everett - RYT 200
Co-owner and Elle's husband, Everett has been practicing and teaching yoga for eight years. Everett teaches yin, restorative and vinyasa flow, with a preference for a fast-paced, power flow practice. As he says, "Nothing too fancy, just a block and tackle-type approach with a lot of cueing, a lot of movement, and a lot of opportunity to sweat." Everett is also a sound practitioner and thoroughly enjoys leading yoga hikes, sound healing on-the-land and vortex tours.

Christa - RYT 200
Christa discovered yoga while trying to heal from multiple running related injuries. Her physical and emotional state were not aligned and she knew she needed to find something that was physically challenging and emotionally satisfying. Soon yoga became a way of life. In 2023, she decided to take Yoga Teacher Training through Down Dog Sedona. This is when Christa discovered her true passion for teaching yoga. “I have been a Montessori teacher for 17 years. Montessori and Yoga, for me, seemed to have many parallels. They both are a process of discovery. Christa’s approach to yoga remains focused on awareness, strength, and breathing. In her class you can expect a gentle approach to settle the mind and body.
