TESS S
MASSAGE THERAPIST
I have been a Licensed Massage Therapist since 2011. I graduated from Saint Paul College with an AAS in Clinical Sports Massage. After that I have been fortunate to work in spas, clinics and wellness centers throughout Minnesota. Although my degree is in sport massage, I would not necessarily classify my methods as such. I love to incorporate all modalities I have learned throughout the 12 years of practice and bring that information into each session. I enjoy learning more and more about the body and the energy that surrounds us and guides us everyday. Besides my career, I love to craft new recipes, explore nature, create, laugh, any kind of sport, meditation and whatever else life brings! I am also married to the best partner who makes life that much better everyday. I also have two kiddos, who continue to challenge the course everyday and explore the world around them. Life is never boring. 🙂

Sandy B
YOGA INSTRUCTOR
My yoga journey started 21 years ago as a way to figure out how to land back in my body after the birth of my third son. Just one hour of moving mindfully with my breath and I was hooked! Since then I have been lucky to have the opportunity to learn from amazing yogis and deepen my practice. As a teacher I work to foster and environment of curiosity and empowerment with customizable sequence and engaging playlists. I’m a total nerd and love to geek out over all things yoga, energy, meditation, and breathwork. My hope is that you leave my class smiling, feeling strong, and seen.
Sandy is a 200 RYT, Reiki Master, and meditation teacher. She has completed trainings in Yin Yoga, Trauma Informed Yoga, Levels 1-2 of Art of Assisting and YOD. She sat a ten day, 100 hour Vipassana Meditation course and is certified in sound healing. When she is not practicing she spends her days walking her poodles; Oberon and Nelly, reading trashy romance novels, mountain biking, or camping with her husband.
VICTORIA S
YOGA INSTRUCTOR
Victoria believes that the practice of yoga gives the opportunity for individuals to connect with the mind, body, and heart through breath and movement. Victoria creates a welcoming and judgement-free safe space for all bodies and all levels to tune into their intuition and cultivate their unique authenticity. Victorias classes place a focus on “pranayama” which is the focus of breath and elevating your energy. She places an importance on focusing on breath first and the yoga poses or asana are secondary to the practice. When you enter her class you can let go of any expectations and show up exactly as you are on your mat and are encouraged to meet yourself “where you’re at in any season of life”. Victoria’s class will give you the opportunity to listen to your physical body needs, tap into your emotional and spiritual callings and move with intention.
