Our Instructors
Our instructors are lifelong students of yoga, devoted to continual growth and to living the practice beyond the mat. In harmony with our studio’s intention, we strive to create a supportive space for healing, connection, and self-discovery—one that allows us to grow with you. We teach with authenticity and compassion, honoring both the wisdom of tradition and the beauty of evolution as we walk this path together.
Hope Marquez
Studio Owner
Yoga has truly changed my life—it continues to bring me peace, growth, and a deeper sense of connection every day. What began as a simple curiosity about the poses soon became a calling to know myself more fully. Through this practice, I’ve learned that yoga is so much more than movement; it’s a path toward presence, healing, and wholeness. My heartfelt intention is to walk beside others on their own journey of self-discovery, offering guidance through the beautiful, transformative practice of yoga. I’ve completed 800 hours of formal training, spent countless hours in self-study, and am currently continuing my education to become a yoga therapist.

Allie Bailey
Yoga Instructor, 200Hr CYT
Certified Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher
Allie dabbled in yoga classes and “yoga workout” videos in college but truly started practicing yoga as part of her whole life in 2013. She grew up dancing ballet, jazz, tap & contemporary dance, then moved into cheer leading with fairly intense gymnastics training. She’s always felt like part of her purpose on this earth is to help others. She teaches yoga because she wants others to feel good about themselves, know that there is a path to feeling grounded and content, and realize there is a deeper connection they can make with themselves to lead them through their lives.
Allie has a great ability to see the positive side of things. She tends to be the comic relief in tense situations and loves making people laugh. She is currently a technology resource teacher & former 5th grade teacher. She feels the same way about adults as she does about her students – people blossom when they have someone believing in them every single day.
Kate Brueggemann
Yoga Instructor, 500Hr CYT
With over 500 hours of training at the Kantra School of Calm on the Gulf shores of Alabama, Kate brings a deep commitment to both the practice and philosophy of yoga.

Rooted in the serene, meditative teachings of yogic tradition, Kate's classes emphasize breath, presence, and gentle alignment to support healing and self-awareness. She has had the privilege of teaching mindfulness and yoga in a variety of settings—from community centers and studios to schools, workplaces, and wellness retreats—always with the intention of making yoga accessible, grounding, and empowering.
Amy Stone

Amy loves spending time in nature and is especially committed to her regular walks along the Bosque where she feels connected to nature and full of ease.
Camille Trujillo
Yoga Instructor, 200Hr CYT
Camille was born and raised in Albuquerque. She grew up playing soccer and was grateful for the opportunity to play college soccer in DC. She spent 11 years living in DC and later moved to the Bay Area for 5 years to pursue a career in law enforcement. While in law enforcement, Camille found yoga to help her heal from the trauma that developed over the years. She has experienced the powerful impact that yoga, meditation, and mindfulness have on her mind and body. She hopes to share these tools with others.
Sara Valentine
Women's Circle Facilitator
Sara began practicing yoga in 1999 due to a back injury, which led her to yoga teaching training. Through her studies with various teachers, she achieved her 500-hour CYT, and from there, she dove into a year-long study of Ayurveda.
​
In addition to teaching yoga classes, Sara was also a women’s life coach and mentor, helping women develop a regular practice of self-care and self-love using the amazing tools these two disciplines offer.
She has been running a women’s circle for the last 5 years with her long-time yoga students in CA on Zoom and looks forward to creating something similar here, but in person! On the third Saturday of each month, it is her intention to create a safe space for women to find community, connection, support and empowerment through various topics of conversation, meditation and sharing.
