Kerri Garr
RYT-200, LMT~Thai Massage, Reiki Practitioner & Hypnotherapist
|
My first yoga class was 7 years ago and it took 3 years to develop into a daily lifestyle practice, but once it did my journey has been an amazing season of growth ever since. The transformation it has had on my own life led me to teaching. I received my 200 hr training at Yoga Gypsy University with Teri Honeysuckle. My passion is healing for the mind, body & spirit, and I absolutely love watching new students grow. I am a massage therapist, and hypnotherapist as well and I bring all my training into my sessions and classes. I am a very hands on teacher and my styles of teaching range from gentle, restorative to upbeat Vinyasa’s. I love sharing tools with people they can use to bring balance to their lives so they can live in the freedom of their true self! I am so grateful to all the people along my path that have taught me so much.

Jana Aydelott-Leeper RYT-500
|
Yoga has been a part of Jana’s life for nearly a decade, and has helped her overcome two serious spinal injuries, and the trauma of a life threatening experience while on active duty military. Jana has benefited greatly from practicing yoga during multiple pregnancies and throughout the postpartum period.
Jana’s classes are taught in a nonjudgmental and welcoming style. Her classes are focused on quality movement, joint health, and overall increased well-being. Classes are accessible for beginners while still providing a challenge for each individual student. A brief section of positive philosophy is included during class, but it is never dogmatic and completely optional. Jana’s classes implement the ancient wisdom of yoga philosophy in a simple and understandable format. The practices used in classes are rooted in the original tradition, but are geared toward modern understanding, biomechanics, and physiology. Props and modified postures ensure each student feels confident and comfortable, no matter where they are physically. |

Chloe' Mims RYT-200

Chloe’ Mims recently transplanted to Fort Smith in spring 2018 and was more than delighted to find a like minded yoga community, who think the benefits of yoga can and should be accessible to all.
Chloe’ happened into her first yoga class, as a collegiate golfer looking for exercise more suited to flexibility and balance. Though, it wasn’t until eight years later and walking into an Intro to Ashtanga class at Cherry Blossom Yoga in Houston, TX that she fell in love with more than the physical practice and found a love in all eight limbs of yoga. Wanting to share with all not only the physical, but mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits she experienced in the safest and most encouraging ways, she began her teaching journey in February 2017 with Ally Ford Yoga, an Ashtanga based teacher training in Shreveport, LA. In September 2017, Chloe’ was issued her 200 RYT Yoga Alliance Certification. She couldn’t be more excited to share her practice and passion with you. |
Robert Tyler Hutchens RYT-200
|
Hello, I am Robert Hutchens. I have been practicing yoga for 3 years now and received my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training certificate in August 2018. I first started yoga because I was suffering from a stomach condition called H-pylori. I was severely fatigued and mentally exhausted. Yoga helped immensely with my overall energy and digestive system. I became more energized than I had ever been and began to feel relief from my stomach condition. My initial practices were long, slow, and deep. I enjoyed the slow flow of yoga and desired its' steadiness . As my yoga practice developed, I discovered my joy for power yoga. Power yoga enabled me to not only challenge my body but also my mind. I look forward to sharing my passion for a powerful class and motivating others to reach beyond their preconceived notions of what their body can do.

Makayla Teague RYT_200
Hi! I’m Makayla Teague. I have always been interested in yoga philosophy and lifestyle since I was a teenager. I practiced the asanas at home off and on for about a year. Then in 2018 I decided it was time to finally step in a studio. I did my research on yoga studios near my area and decided to go with Yogaterrium. Ever since then, I have been diving deeper into the yoga of my life. Yoga has been a blessing for me in all ways. I have experienced and continue to experience so much growth. I’m thankful to have yoga in my life and to share the love and community that yoga brings. In September 2018 I graduated with my 200 hour RYT through Powered by Heart and Yogaterrium with Terri Hargrove and Crystal Beshears. Training with this group has supported my personal development and my own practice. I am passionate about helping others grow with the tools that yoga can offer all of us. I am also a Speech-Language Pathology graduate student at Northeastern State University in Muskogee, OK. I love communication, language, and helping others find their voice. I believe that everyone has a right to communicate no matter the circumstances. I also love my family, my dog Cooper, music, and being outside(: I’m very thankful for the life that I have and all that yoga offers. Namaste
Sara Galbach RYT-200
I fell in love at the local college campus. The Sanskrit language mesmerized me as I slowly re-molding my spine, and learned how to stand tall. My new friend, my new love was named Yoga. Over the next 15 years yoga taught me ways to heal and recover my physical body and the song of my heart, it gave me coping tools to endure several surgeries and emotional pain due from loss. Dedicated exposure to yoga classes and yoga workshops (I’m a loyal Yogaterrium attendee) lead me to the opportunity to apply with Terri Hargrove and business partner Crystal Beshear’s into the 200 hour YTT program with Powered by Heart RYS. April 2019. I offer gentle flow, yin, yang style yoga and restorative.
I am a painter. An artist with a deep connection and appreciation to nature and during our yoga class I offer an imaginative escape into body awareness and alignment. Themes of the elements, trees, animals, current seasons, chakras, the philosophies of yoga could be available for discussion in a welcoming environment for
all ages and levels of activity.
I Look Forward To This New Beginning With You.
Namaste,
Sara Galbach

Stevie Bruesch RYT-200
I tried yoga for the first time in 2016 and went to Yogaterrium for the first time in 2018. I loved the connection of breath and movement. This was the first time I found a coping skill that worked for my anxiety. That is why I decided to pursue yoga for myself and bring this magic to others.
I have a variety of fitness accomplishments and certifications. I completed 16 hour YogaFit training February 2017 and began teaching at the Choctaw Nation. My passion led me to complete my 200 hour Teacher Training September 2019 with Powered By Heart and Yogaterrium. I am also a CrossFit Level 1 and CrossFit Kids Certified Coach, NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Level 1 Trauma informed yoga therapy (TIYT) trained through Sundara Yoga Therapy and I will complete my Level 2 TIYT October 2019. I currently hold the NASA National Retro Powerlifting Record for Squat and Bench (set 9/8/18) Mother of two kids- Jekobi and Skyler I offer Yoga at the following locations: Pop Up Yoga, Choctaw Nation Wellness Center - Poteau, and Yogaterrium Maker of things- Bear Arms Productions Kellie Lindsey RYT-200
Kellie is a mother, a musician, a full-time business student at UAFS, and an Arbonne District Manager. She moved to Fort Smith from her home state of Mississippi, where she began her yoga practice over ten years ago. Three years ago, after deepening her passion for yoga through its wellspring of literature, she decided to begin her practice seriously in her own home. Her consistent dedication to a personal practice sparked her desire to share yoga as an instructor because of the massive transformation she underwent both mentally and physically. This meant that she was to bring her practice into a public setting, which was terrifying to her at first. Despite her fears, she listened to her calling and completed the RYT 200 Yoga Alliance certification through Powered By Heart. Kellie truly believes that yoga should be accessible to everyone, regardless of age, gender, or physical ability. Because of this, she plans to continue her yoga education by receiving a RPYT certification to offer certified prenatal classes in the River Valley. Her classes will range in styles, and you can expect her to gracefully challenge you at your edge. Yoga met Kellie where she was, and she’s eager to help it meet you where you are!
