Nicole Lunt (Founder)
The day I stepped on the Yoga Mat in 1985 at the University of Utah, I knew this was my destiny – I have been practicing Yoga for 35 years in all its forms. In 2016 I felt the calling to become a certified teacher, and I received my 200 RYT with Yoga Assets. I have been teaching Yoga for 6 years. During my training, I fell in love with the chakras & the beautiful, vital prana life force energy inside all of us – which led me to another passion ~ my Angel Reiki Energy Healing sessions – that I have been doing for 5 years. I am a Certified Holy Fire II Reiki Karuna Master & Usui Reiki Method Master – I also have received my Quantum-Touch Level 1 Healing Certification & Sound Healing Level 1 & 2. After discovering the healing benefits of essential oils, I became certified in Doterra’s Aromatouch Massage.
Ayesha Haskell
I am a 500+ ERYT, YT Lead Trainer, Somatic Facilitator, Possibility Practitioner, Earth Steward, Sacred Ritualist, outdoor adventurer & playful student of life! My journey has been a quest to know what existed beyond the conditioning that I was born into & a deep yearning to disrupt old, outdated, oppressive systems to create space for greater heart centered living. For the past 11 years I have studied International Studies, Social Justice, Permaculture, Women's Health & Womb Wisdom, Herbalism, Neurosculpting, Functional Flexibility, Quantum Theory, Trauma Informed Practices, Somatics & Acrobatics I received my 200 HR YTT through Akhanda Shakti Yoga in Costa Rica & my 300 HR YTT through Akhanda Yoga in Rishikesh, India in 2017. I am currently in school to become a Clinical Somatic Educator & Therapist.
Through my experiences I have grown a deep passion for supporting individuals to remember their sacred interconnection to all that is, reclaim the wisdom of their bodies, strengthen their confidence & live a life of their biggest, wildest dreams! I believe that is it through a mergence of science & sacred that we holistically expand our capacity to transform ourselves from the inside out. I believe that personal freedom is available through embodying the full spectrum of this human experience while simultaneously exploring the infinite realms of possibility, aligning our dreams, values & actions, and thus, positioning ourselves to be a source of greater impact in our collective.
​
And most of all, I believe in having fun as we learn to navigate this thing called life. Remembering to be silly, have fun, make mistakes, & be ok with falling on our face with a knowing that each time we fall, we get to pick ourselves back up stronger, wiser & with greater conviction to what matters most to us.
Ahlena Black
I started practicing yoga at the age of 8 after being introduced to it by my grandfather. I completed my 500-hour RYT certification in 2017 through Infusion Yoga and Pilates in Utah, and I’ve also received training in Restorative Yoga through Judith Hansen Lasater.
I love the mind, body, and spirit connection that yoga creates through breathwork, quieting the mind, and moving the body. I bring a calming and joyful presence to my classes and feel so grateful for every student who comes to practice with me.
I am also a certified meditation teacher through the Dharana Method and have been a practicing Foot Zone Therapist since 2018. I’m the mother of five beautiful daughters and have one son-in-law. I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart for 22 years and love spending time with my family. Talking, traveling, eating, and reading are some of my favorite pastimes.

Hi there, I’m Traci, and I teach Relax & Restore at Divine Yoga Studios.
I am continually inspired by yoga’s transformative power—both internally and externally. I’m committed to bringing a sense of freedom to my classes that will help you explore yourself whole self, appreciate your body, and honor your mind and soul.
I believe that conscious living is an ongoing personal journey and hope to help you develop a supportive practice in a peaceful space. My practice helps me still my mind, attend to my own needs, and simply makes me smile :)

My Fave’s...
Being with my family and great friends is the best thing about life and what I cherish most. I love to laugh and tease because life should light you up!
I’m a sucker for Diet Coke & pink sugar cookies, humanitarian trips, podcasts on a hike, the feeling of the sun on my skin, volleyball, movies & popcorn, words strung together in interesting ways, old photo’s, a crackling fire, and looking up at the sky through leaves.
Let’s practice together and explore this one miraculous life we’ve been gifted!
I have always been passionate about movement. When I realized a career in classical ballet wasn’t a sustainable lifestyle, I found yoga and fell in love.
Through more than 30 years of practice, yoga has brought me solace and strength when I’ve needed it most, and joy and calm every time I step on my mat. It has supported me through all of life’s ups and downs.
I love sharing the magic of yoga. I believe it reinforces connection within ourselves and with the universe—bringing mind, body, spirit, other beings, the natural world, and higher power together as one. Yoga offers a chance to check in with yourself, communicate with your body, find calm through breath and mindfulness, cultivate gratitude, and leave class feeling present, centered, and balanced.
I strongly believe what we learn on the mat translates beautifully into everyday life—yoga isn’t just an hour on a mat, it’s a way of life.
As a lover of winter, I’ve taught skiing for 17 years. I feel most at home in nature and with dogs, and I love hiking, biking, and spending time near water. I enjoy adventuring with my husband and two daughters.
In my classes, I guide you in discovering your purpose in practice while experiencing the physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of yoga. I’m passionate about yoga and truly believe the world would benefit if everyone practiced.
Holly Ferguson
My love for yoga began ten years ago when I started to recognize my body trying to tell me something. I took many yoga classes before finally challenging myself to a 200-hour YTT course in 2018. To me, the beauty of yoga is what it is trying to teach. Rumi said, “I have been a seeker, and I still am, but I stopped asking the books and the stars. I started listening to the teaching of my Soul.” Learning to listen to my body is a lifelong journey that I am excited to share. I hope to help others find joy and knowledge through practiced engagement with their bodies.
I am grateful to be married to my husband, Cory, for almost 25 years! He has been very supportive and encouraging. We have three exceptional children who teach me so much about life and love. We enjoy spending time outdoors together, mostly hiking and gardening. We also enjoy the company of 1 dog, two goats, and 16 laying hens!
Mae govannen, mellon nîn! Yoga and meditation have transformed my life in many profound ways. As a college student navigating anxiety and undiagnosed ADHD, I began practicing yoga with my mom in her living room using an old Yoga Zone with Alan Finger DVD. After one session, I was hooked. The balance, awareness, and sense of relief sparked a lifelong love for yoga, mindfulness, and inner exploration. I feel incredibly grateful to share what I’ve learned through years of practice and teaching. (I've been teaching since 2014!)
In my classes, I hold space for those who seek relief from anxiety and offer moments of rest, presence, and serenity through yoga, meditation, and sound. My teaching flows with the rhythms of nature, infused with the wisdom of folklore, myth, lunar energy, seasonal ritual, and intuition.
Outside the studio, I find inspiration in the mountains, mythology, music, and creative expression through art and crafts. My husband and I love traveling, exploring other cultures, discussing all things Lord of the Rings, and cuddling our three giant, fluffy cats.
Jen Jones
I teach Kundalini yoga and have come to love this powerful, spiritual, and life-changing practice. Having the opportunity to share it with others—with love and humor—is a profound blessing.
I spent a bit too much time and money in my younger years on formal higher education. I have a Juris Doctor, but I try very hard not to use it. I much prefer teaching yoga and meditation, and offering sound therapy with my symphonic gong.
I’ve also trained as a foot zone practitioner, Reiki Master, and guided imagery facilitator, and I hold certifications in NLP, hypnosis, and Mental Emotional Release. I’m always trying to learn something new.
I love traveling, hiking, backpacking, skiing, snowboarding, scuba diving, and just about any other expensive hobby.
Lita Silva
I hold many roles in my life, just like we all do, but the ones that influence me most are being a mother, a companion, a yogi, an educator, a lifelong student, a wellness and nature lover, and an advocate for peace and equality.
I studied yoga at Infusion Yoga & Pilates in Bountiful, Utah, where I earned my 500-hour teaching certificate in 2014 as a Vinyasa Yoga teacher. I am also a Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance. I’ve received my meditation teaching certification, training in sound healing, and my 85-hour certification as a prenatal and postnatal yoga teacher.
My personal practice and ongoing training have guided me toward my authentic self, which I strive to share through my teaching. In my classes, we focus on connecting breath to movement, developing self-awareness, finding inner peace, and building strength and flexibility in both the mind and body.
You can join me on Thursday nights at 5:30 for Prenatal/Postpartum Gentle Yoga and Sunday nights at 6:30 for Meditation and Sound Journey.
Marci Moir
I’ve been practicing yoga since 2012 and immediately fell in love with the cleansing effect it had on my body, spirit, and mind. I completed my teacher training through Infusion Yoga and Pilates and have been teaching since 2018.
I consider my time on the mat “play time” and love discovering new connections between body, mind, and spirit. I’m passionate about integrating yoga into my life and relationships to deepen those connections. I love being able to offer light, love, and healing through my classes.
I share this journey of life with my husband, Jasen, and our four kids.

Prema (Robin) Davis
I am a fervent yogi who sees yoga as a joyful kind of adult recess from the demands of everyday life. My approach is playful, a little irreverent, and always designed to offer an invigorating challenge.
Beyond yoga, I’m a certified life coach with decades of deep study of the mind. I’m fascinated by the intricate connection between our thoughts, body, and spirit. I begin each session by tapping into the power of the mind, then build physical strength through asanas to help access deeper spiritual dimensions.
My teaching style is rooted in Vinyasa flow, linking breath with movement while emphasizing alignment, breath awareness, and mindfulness. My goal is to help students of all levels explore their practice, feel more connected to their bodies, and cultivate inner peace.
I believe yoga is a powerful tool for self-discovery, healing, and personal growth. It extends far beyond physical postures into every aspect of life. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where students can explore their inner world and find balance both on and off the mat.
Jana Dodenbier
I began my yoga practice 23 years ago while living in Boston as a nanny. Having grown up as a gymnast—handstanding, flipping, and arm balancing my way through childhood—yoga felt like a natural fit from the start.
Over the years, I explored many styles before discovering my passion for Power Yoga. Wanting to share that passion, I became certified through YogaFit 13 years ago and have been teaching ever since. I find deep fulfillment in helping others realize their potential and achieve their goals on their individual yoga journeys.
Building meaningful connections with my students is incredibly important to me. I love celebrating their successes both on and off the mat. For me, life is about connection, and yoga creates a beautiful space for that. My classes focus on strength, flexibility, movement, and self-awareness of both mind and body, offering a workout that students of all levels can enjoy.
Outside of yoga, I’m a bit of an adrenaline junkie. I love wakeboarding, surfing, snow skiing, hiking, traveling, spending time with my family, and raising my four amazing kids.
I believe yoga is a powerful tool for self-discovery, healing, and personal growth. It goes far beyond the physical and supports balance in every aspect of life.
Grace Lunt
I am a professional dancer, choreographer, musician, actress, and all-around creative spirit. I’ve been dancing and singing since I was four years old, and I’ve spent 15 years competing with L2D. I also traveled with the Hollywood Vibe Senior Company and perform with Utah Jam Bands.
I’ve been featured in commercials, music videos, and many productions, and I’m passionate about inspiring others through the creative expression of dance. I’m trained in ballet, contemporary, jazz, acro, ballroom, hip hop, tap, musical theater, jazz funk, and more.
My greatest joy comes from traveling, spending time with my family, and loving on my two brand-new nephews.
Kristina Wyler
I am a passionate yoga teacher, certified by Divine Yoga Studios in 2023, as well as a certified Reiki practitioner and sound healer. My classes are a journey of self-discovery, relaxation, and inner transformation, focusing on yoga for mental health, self-care, and connection. I emphasize truly connecting with yourself—your body, your breath, and the present moment.
I’m deeply inspired by transformational yoga, guiding students to transmute energy, raise their vibrations, and flow with life’s rhythms to become their brightest selves. I also bring my passion for guided meditation and vibrational sound healing into my classes, often incorporating sound baths to create a powerful, immersive experience.
With a lifelong commitment to self-care, fitness, and holistic wellness, I believe moving the body brings deep joy and clarity. Outside the studio, I’m a mom of three who loves connecting with others, staying active, hiking, and spending as much time as possible in nature.
Lindsay van Uitert
My journey with yoga began four years ago when I stepped into my first class. Instantly, I knew I had found something special. Yoga became my sanctuary, my place of growth and self-discovery. It's incredible how this practice has transformed me. Through every pose, every breath, I've felt myself becoming stronger, both physically and mentally. Yoga has shown me that I'm capable of so much more than I ever imagined. It's pushed me to my limits, teaching me to trust myself and to find peace in stillness. Recently, I completed my yoga teacher training, and now I'm excited to share this beautiful practice with others, hoping to inspire them on their own journey of self-discovery and empowerment.
Valleen Day
I’m a holistic therapist, breathwork facilitator, master foot zoner, craniosacral therapist, sound + energy healer, and 200-hour yoga instructor. As a playful, curious student of life (and mom of three), I blend humor and heart to help people heal, grow, and thrive.
Breathwork was the game-changer in my healing journey. After years of trying different therapies, it unlocked parts of me I couldn’t reach consciously, helping me process trauma, regulate my nervous system, and feel at home in my body. Now, I’m passionate about sharing it with others, guiding clients from overwhelm to calm and connection.
With over a decade of studying holistic wellness, trauma recovery, and mind-body practices, I take a trauma-informed approach—creating safe, nurturing spaces for healing. Yoga taught me to slow down, and I believe that’s where the deepest healing happens.
I love helping people rediscover their potential and reconnect with their intuition. Healing doesn’t have to be heavy—it can be messy, playful, and full of “aha” moments. Growth happens when we allow ourselves to fall, rise, and repeat—embracing every part of the journey.
I can’t wait to meet you!
Cassandra Nelson
,Pilates Power Fusion,
I am a dedicated and experienced yoga teacher with over 10 years of teaching and practice. I specialize in Power Vinyasa, bringing a dynamic and energizing approach to the mat that focuses on strength, flexibility, and mindful movement. After earning my certification at CorePower Yoga in Pasadena, CA, I have continued to deepen my knowledge and practice. I guide students through flows that challenge both the body and mind. With a passion for health and wellness, I strive to support and empower students of all levels.
Melissa Martin
Yoga has been a deeply transformative journey for me. As a former personal trainer, I focused on how the body “should” look—until yoga taught me to truly feel and connect with my body on a physical, emotional, and mental level. Through my 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training, I discovered the power of slowing down, tuning into subtle sensations, and embracing self-discovery. Now, I integrate my training in Reiki, Somatic CBT, and Somatic Trauma Integration to help others reconnect with their bodies and emotions in a meaningful way. I believe yoga, breathwork, and meditation are powerful tools for healing, growth, and alignment.
Catherine Dagsland
I am a Kundalini Yoga teacher and shamanic imagery facilitator, deeply passionate about the healing journey of the mind, body, and soul. I find great joy in helping others along their healing path. One of my favorite things is performing and experiencing a symphonic gong bath. I also celebrate the healing power of celery juice and anything that comes from Mother Earth. I love spending time writing, painting, being outdoors, and, most importantly, being with my family.
Jocey Silva
I’m Jocey, a yoga guide devoted to helping others return to a place of calm, presence, and inner connection. I believe yoga offers a gentle space to slow down, soften, and listen inward—allowing us to meet each moment with awareness and care. Through movement and breath, I guide students in unwinding tension, creating ease, and reconnecting with the natural rhythm of their bodies.
My classes blend Yin, Hatha, and Vinyasa yoga, weaving together softness and strength in a way that feels supportive and accessible. I aim to create a warm, welcoming space where students can move with intention, breathe deeply, and feel more at home within themselves.
I’m currently training in pre- and postnatal yoga and love supporting people of all ages and stages of life, meeting each person where they are and guiding them toward a sense of balance and inner peace.
I can’t wait to connect with you, see you on the mat!
