Suzie began her yoga journey as a college student looking for an alternate PE credit. Sixteen years later, her practice is still going strong! Suzie took her RYT 200 training in 2019 at the Asheville Yoga Center. In 2023, she decided to continue her yoga education with a 300 hour yoga teacher training from Breathe for Change, a program that works on teaching yoga in k-12 schools. Suzie is glad to work locally at Smoky Mountain High School and offer yoga classes to her fellow teachers. An RYT-500, Suzie believes yoga should be accessible to all people, and that the benefits of yoga extend beyond the mat. She loves incorporating this philosophy into all of her classes. All people can practice yoga.

Yoga teacher/Studio Manager. I began teaching yoga in 2011 after completing my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training at Joyful Yoga in Bonita Springs, FL. My passion for anatomy and understanding how the body moves guided me towards an additional 300 hour training with Jason Crandell. My teaching style is light hearted and fun while providing you with an understanding of your own body and its movements. In this space we can begin to peel back the layers to find our true Self. I do my best in classes to provide modifications and amplifications for varying levels of fitness so you can grow and explore on your yoga journey. See you on the mat!

Courtney Jarrell first found yoga as a way to deal with the stress and anxiety of college life. While she found the postures good for her physical health, it was really the breathwork and positive effects on the mind that led Courtney to deepen her practice and seek out a teacher training program. In 2009 she got her 200 hour Hatha Yoga Certification from the Davenport School of Yoga in Davenport, Iowa. Since then, she has been teaching a variety of yoga classes from aerial yoga in Iowa to restorative and adaptive classes in Utah. In 2020 she deepened her training with the Prenatal Yoga Certification from Yoga Education Institute. Her passion is teaching alignment-based Hatha yoga of all levels. Her classes are open to all, offering students options to deepen their practice if they desire or offering modifications to fit their individual needs and restrictions. Courtney believes all people are able to do yoga and invites everyone to join her class.
