Lee Smith
RYT200
As a United States Army Veteran as well as being in recovery from drugs and alcohol for over 10 years I have always searched for ways to truly heal myself. Because power yoga focuses on your breath, impacts not only your practice but your daily living, I found something that I truly love and want to give back to others.
Lee brings the heat, his experience, knowledge of trivia and music to his encouraging, enlightening and energetic classes. Be prepared to sweat it out!
Kim Charlet

Once her first daughter was born, she began to seek something new, something beyond physical fitness. This is when her journey into YOGA began. Not long after being a student, Kim began teaching and sharing her new found love with others. Over the past 27 years, Kim has shared yoga with many people from children to senior citizens. When traveling, Kim seeks out yoga studios and juice bars where she meets strangers that quickly become her friends. She studied at Cooper’s Clinic in Dallas, Texas and received her first 200 YTT under the guidance of Leah Cullis, author of Power Yoga in Austin, Texas. In 2022, Kim spent a month in Costa Rica completing another 200 YTT led by Jonah Kest. This training strengthened her knowledge of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. Her favorite part of yoga is PRANAYAMA, the breath. Kim will lead you through a power flow that is sure to awaken your body, mind, & spirit.
