Although relatively new to yoga, it has changed Kelly’s life! She fell in love during her very first class amidst the pandemic in March of 2021.

Kelly is a native Texan. She grew up in the Houston area, finished her bachelor's degree in Business at Sam Houston State Univ. in Huntsville, Tx and has called Austin home since 1998.

She currently works in the health and wellness industry and teaches yoga in her community.

Laura Marcotte

Certified Yoga Instructor

Laura’s journey into yoga began in 1994, at The Spiral Circle in Orlando, FL studying with Hari Nam. The first class was a life changing event, filled with excitement and wonder, Laura became a fixture at the weekly classes. After moving to Northern California she continued to practice and study with Saraswathi Devi and found yoga changed her relationship with her self and then everything else. In Austin, TX she obtained her 500 hour teaching certification through Yoga Alliance. Learning from Mehtab, Guru Karam and Siri Bahadur she became engrossed in the technology of Kundalini Yoga. She was mentored by Gurucharan Singh Khalsa. In 2010 she began to assist with the Kundalini Teacher Training in Austin. Over the years she has attended seminars with Sean Corn, Thich Nhat Hanh, Gurumukh, Martin Kirk, Guru Singh and Sai Ma finding gems in hearts of all teachers and all styles of yoga.

Laura loves to share yoga and meditation with adults and children. She wrote the yoga curriculum for grades K-12 currently used in the Austin Public Schools. At this time her work with students in recovery and relapse prevention is her passion. Using pranayam, asana and meditation to cope with stress and find strength and peace within.

Silvia Noha

Certified Yoga Instructor

Sylvia’s passion for yoga reached a new level with the move to Austin in the summer of 2013. Recreational up to this point, her practice became a daily one, connecting her deeper to herself, her new surroundings and a new community. From this place of growth Sylvia knew she wanted to teach: she completed a Teacher Training in the fall of 2014 and kept moving forward enrolling in a Yoga Therapy Training program here

in Austin. She currently holds a 500hr RYT certification through Yoga Alliance with additional trainings in Ayurveda, Yin yoga and the Chakra system, and will complete her training as a yoga therapist in the spring of 2019. She teaches Power Vinyasa, more alignment focused slow flow classes, Yin yoga, corporate classes and is available for privates. I absolutely love that yoga meets you where you are in life at that very moment. What I have learned in my practice is: Yoga always works. I learned to hold space for myself, to listen to my

body and its needs and to stay present in midst of it all. Yoga brings balance to body and mind. This is what I love to pass on to my students. Sylvia’s classes are lighthearted and encouraging, while focusing on healthy alignment, building strength and creating self-awareness.
