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.
Victoria Inman
Yoga Instructor, 500Hr CYT
Yoga Therapy & Yin Yoga Certifications
Several years ago on a path to wellness, Victoria found a place for connection. After practicing yoga for over 15 years and teaching for 10, she found her calling--supporting and guiding individuals to a higher consciousness. Victoria received her 200hr RYT in 2015 and in 2019-2020 successfully completed her 300hr RYT with Inner Peace Yoga Therapy. Finding the heart connection, she has cultivated peace and opened the altar of her heart with love.
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.
Amy Stone
Yoga Instructor, 200Hr CYT
Yin & Reiki Certifications
Yoga has been a driving force in Amy's life. She teaches with compassion and a gentle voice. She is passionate about the importance of yin energies in our lives and brings the teachings of its slow, deep healing methodology to her classes. 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.

Bree Cordier
Yoga Instructor, 200Hr CYT
Bree's practice began over 10 years ago and after having felt the shift in her own well-being because of yoga, she was inspired to earn my 200-RYT in 2023. She has enjoyed teaching a restorative and gentle flow class in the East Mountains since 2024.
Bree's goal is to create a space for every student to feel good in their body and mind. She likes to offer a full-body stretch, gentle strengthening movement and poses, and short mindfulness exercises in each class.

Shelly Ley is a holistic strength & mobility coach. She has certifications as a nutritionist, peri/menopausal coaching, and is a head coach for Steel Mace Vinyasa. She became a certified yoga teacher in 2019, the same year she participated in her first mini triathlon. Shelly also holds an MS in Education and by weaving singing & sound healing into her yoga classes, Shelly helps people get out of pain & rewire their brain so they can step into the strongest version of themselves, at any age.
Kelli Taylor
Yoga Instructor, 220 CYT
Kelli found yoga as a young athlete in high school, seeking recovery and peace. She completed her 200 hour yoga instructor training before going to PTA school and started to fuse her love of physical therapy and yoga together. She currently works as a pelvic floor PTA and this has given her a whole new appreciation for the body's deep core and nervous system. Kelli's classes will focus on somatic work, functional movement patterns, and primal and playful experiences.
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.
