Our Studio & Team

Tadasana Mountain Yoga opened in the Spring of 2011.  

The Mountains are our Studio. The Community is our HOME.  

At Tadasana Mountain Yoga, we are committed to offering a variety of styles and approaches to the practice of yoga — because just like the mountains that surround us, yoga meets us where we are and invites us to grow from there.

Since our founding in 2011, we’ve been guided by the belief that yoga is far more than a series of poses — it’s an exploration of mind, body, and spirit that unfolds uniquely for each person. We believe yoga is fun, deeply rewarding, and ever-evolving. With over 15 weekly classes — from energizing and dynamic to grounding and restorative — you’ll find the perfect place to connect, breathe, and come home to yourself, no matter where you are on your yoga journey.

Our Base Camp

The fire at Caribou Village took our studio, but it did not take our practice. Our first class after the fire was called Together We Rise, and this community did exactly that. For a year, Tadasana lived in lodges and shared spaces, carried by the people who kept showing up.

That year taught us how much this community can hold. It also taught us what we had been missing. There is something sacred about a space of our own: a room that is ready when you walk in, where the practice can settle in and stay.

Today that room is on the third floor at 80 Big Springs Drive, up the stairs from Hub Ned. It is an intimate space that holds 14 students, so we encourage you to pre-register.

We think of it as our base camp. It is a place to rest, regroup, and keep climbing while Caribou Village is rebuilt. You will also find us at the Nederland Community Center for fitness classes and at Hub Ned for our busier 9am weekend classes.

  • Amy first discovered the life transforming power of yoga as a dancer in 1997. Since then she has traveled, lived, studied, and taught yoga internationally.

    Over the years she has practiced Kundalini, Ashtanga, Iyengar, Vinyasa Flow, Anusara, Yin, and Restorative styles of yoga with unwavering devotion.

    In 2009, she received her first 200 hr Vinyasa Flow training in Bali. She has continued her trainings and knowledge with Anusara immersions, Prenatal, Restorative, Silver Aged Seniors Yoga, and Kids Yoga certifications.

    As an elementary Motessori educator and a mother of two young children, Amy embraces yoga as a way to cultivate stamina, patience, and a mindful presence in every asana practice as well as interaction off the mat. Through a creative Vinyasa flow with a strong emphasis on breath work and alignment, her classes encourage a playful and challenging discovery of the physical self as a gateway to the deeper mind and spirit.

  • In 2012, Andrea moved from the Andes (in Peru) to the Rocky Mountains. She is always following the call of the Apus - mountains in Quechua language! Among the many wonderful things that came with her new life, the practice of Yoga, for over 10 years now, has been of fundamental importance in her quest for personal growth, along with her passion for hiking and skiing - anything outdoors!  

    In 2018 she completed her 200-hour YTT through Tadasana Mountain Yoga and Inner Power Yoga, and her classes offer a combination of grounding, yet invigorating flows sure to make you feel fully present and balanced.

    Angie’s meditative, breath-based style encourages deepening awareness, connection to the natural and spirit worlds, and promoting healthy rhythms and patterns for everyday life.

  • Bart has been attending classes at Tadasana since 2014. Desiring to give something back to the Community, he completed his 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training through Tadasana Mountain Yoga and Inner Power Yoga in the Summer of 2021.

    He enjoys practicing all forms of yoga, especially in community, and particularly appreciates the “doing not doing” of Restorative Yoga and the space it allows for mindful meditation.

  • Caroline began a weekly yoga practice at a young age and has been practicing with different studios and instructors for 20+ years as both a spiritual and phsyical outlet.

    She began teaching in 2011 and specializes in vinyasa flow classes. She provides variations in her flows for both beginner and advanced students and can provide an energizing, strength-building class or restorative class depending on the preferences of the attendees.

    Caroline enjoys coaching participants safely into different options for inversions and providing 'play time' in each class. As a local Nederland resident, she is thrilled to be a part of the Tadasana family.

  • Cynthia is a former corporate leader turned Inner-Wilderness Guide, bridging structure and surrender, ambition and alignment, logic and intuition. After two decades in government and corporate leadership, she traded boardrooms for sacred circles, rediscovering freedom in nature, psychedelics, and holistic healing.

    As the founder of Rooted Truth Coaching, she leads individual and group psilocybin retreats, helps people heal and transform through microdosing and nature connection, mentors seekers on the path to self-discovery, and teaches yoga. A Certified Nature-Connected Coach, Reiki practitioner, psychedelic facilitator, and yogi, she blends ancient wisdom with modern insight. Her yoga practice, rooted in over two decades of study, merges movement, breath, and energy to cultivate presence and embodiment. Passionate about helping others shed the veil of not-enoughness, she guides people back to their true nature through self-love, embodiment, and earth-based wisdom.

    Whether coaching, leading ceremonies, or teaching microdosing, she helps others release control and explore the uncharted terrain of their consciousness—because true freedom isn’t in climbing the ladder, but in daring to leap.

  • Diana's introduction to yoga was through Raquel Welch videos that she would do with her mom. She took her first yoga class on the beaches of Thailand in 2002 and fell in love with the union of body, mind and spirit that is at the heart of yoga.

    In 2010, she completed her first 200hour Teacher Training and much to her surprise, opened Tadasana Mountain Yoga in March of 2011. Diana is now a 500h ERYT.

    Her classes are thoughtful and fun, allowing students to explore and deepen their practice in a safe and supported environment.

  • Erin came to yoga after years of desk work and running had begun to break down her spinal discs and cause her regular back pain.

    After practicing many styles of yoga she chose to study Pralaya Yoga with her teacher Robert Boustany. Erin was drawn to the detail-oriented, science-based approach to yoga and a style designed for the average north-American. She also loves Robert's depth of knowledge with a strong base in traditional eastern yoga and other Asian practices, plus the evolutionary and playful nature of the practice.

    Students often refer to Erin's classes as being refreshingly different, focusing on the "itsy bitsy" parts/details, and "being playful". She loves to take requests from students and customize her classes to their needs and interests and inspire them to find yoga in their day-to-day.

    Erin has over 900 hours of yoga training and has trained in and taught prenatal yoga, postnatal yoga, Divine Kids yoga, and the Yoga Better yoga style. She is currently training in "Natural Movement" with Ape Co Movement School.

  • Jen has always loved to dance! She studied classical ballet for 16 years. In 2001 she took her first Nia class and has been passionate about it ever since.

    Nia teaches the Body’s Way so that we learn to listen to the voices of the body as guide and teacher. It provides an approach to life that uses everyday movement and activities to stimulate, to heal, and to bring joy. It’s called dancing through life! It unlocks the wisdom in our bodies and connects us to the movement of life.

    Jen has been a certified Nia instructor since 2003. She has taught Nia classes in the Boulder/Denver area for over 17 years. She invites both newcomers and seasoned dancers to experience her class and the joy of movement.

  • Justine Sanchez has been a practicing yogini for over 20 years.

    After the birth of her son, Justine suffered a sciatic injury that brought her to her knees and to yoga. She found her teacher, Sofia Diaz, in 2002. Ever since, Sofia has continued to bring Justine to her knees in the consistent bow that IS Hatha yoga. It is with much gratitude to her teacher that Justine offers her practice as a teacher in and around the Boulder area.

    Justine, her husband, and son live at 9,260 ft in a straw bale home they built together in Ward, CO. Living in close proximity to the elements, as well as the “chop wood/carry water” lifestyle, informs her practice and her offerings.

    Teaching and living in the Nederland area for over a decade, Justine’s practice is honed towards strengthening and maintaining healthy bodies as mountain dwellers. As well, her class offers an opportunity to contemplate how bodily practice can inform our moods, inspirations, and life challenges.

  • In 2009, Kim’s passion brought her to Maui to study “Maya Yoga”, a fusion of Ashtanga & Iyengar, with inspirational teachers Nicki Doane and Eddie Modestini. She completed a yearlong study with RR Shakti, founder of “Inner Power Yoga”, in 2013.

    Her emphasis is on awareness, breath, alignment and the integrity of the asana allowing the space needed to move energy and create positive change in the body and mind. She feels that the foundation of the pose is essential to a healthy and sustainable yoga practice and it’s through a safe and mindful practice that a student is able to heal their body and quiet their mind.

    Kim brings the ancient teachings of yoga philosophy into the classroom cultivating ones connection to self and the wisdom within. She believes that the practice of yoga cultivates the awareness within to find and explore the connection between body and mind giving everyone the ability to heal oneself physically, mentally and emotionally. She encourages her students to take yoga off the mat and into their daily lives promoting healthy relationships in every aspect of life.

  • After initially focusing on the external aspects of yoga, Lauren's journey has evolved over the last nine years to a deeper appreciation for the mindful and creative movements that bring joy and connection to the body, regardless of outward appearance.

    As a teacher, she combines dynamic movement, breath work, strength, and mobility in her vinyasa classes, catering to all levels of practitioners.

    Lauren holds a safe and welcoming space for her students to explore and connect with their bodies on the mat. She is also passionate about restorative yoga and the incorporation of much-needed rest and relaxation into daily life.

  • Marni has been practicing yoga over 25 years. She first came to the practice as a college student and was astounded when one of her instructors reached out and grabbed her own toe. Before long, Marni noticed herself integrating stretching into her daily activities and found that she could breathe deeper and stay calmer for it. She attended a variety of yoga classes, but found her yoga home in the Ashtanga Vinyasa system. In 2004, Marni completed her Teacher Training at Richard Freeman’s The Yoga Workshop in Boulder, CO. She primarily practices and teaches Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga but also deeply enjoys sharing what she has learned about Restorative Yoga as well as Parent-Tot Yoga.

    In her classes, Marni offers precise instruction and gentle assists to create a comfortable and fun yet challenging environment.

  • In 2019, Michelle completed the 200 hour Inner Power Yoga Teacher Training in Nederland. She loves learning and hold a B.S. in Exercise Science from Ithaca College.

    For her, yoga is about using our physical body to have a spiritual experience. She begins class in meditation and focus on breath. Her classes combine strength and flexibility, effort and surrender, in a dynamic vinyasa flow style. Expect to move sweat and breathe.

    Additionally, Michelle offers massage treatments at Tadasana. She received her certification from Healing Spirits massage school in Boulder, Colorado and went on to receive an advanced degree in Phenomenal Touch Massage. She believes your massage can be deep and specific, gentle and soothing, or wavelike and freeing -- depending on what your body needs.

    In her years of experience, she has found that the best massages come through closely listening to her clients and following her intuition. "Together, we create the massage that suits you best".

  • I've been practicing yoga since college, when I found a release and connection to my self that I'd always been, and will always be searching for, on my newfound yoga mat.

    Summer 2023 I completed the 200hr with Tadasana and the Inner Power Yoga training through the guidance of my beloved teachers Justine, and Diana ~ strengthening my foundational, philosophical, and Sanskrit understanding so I can offer my practice as a teacher.

    My practice is rooted in strengthening self so we can feel better in our lives. Yoga has proven to show up time and time again as a place we come back to, to sort it all out and to be in the moment, and a grounding way to remember everything is going to be okay.

  • My first yoga classes were in a martial arts studio in Ecuador. I showed up to exercise, and was delighted to discover the meditative aspect of yoga and the challenge of making all those cool shapes! Since then, I’ve worked as a guide on international and wilderness expeditions, a teacher, a social worker and I’ve supported humanitarian efforts abroad. I also earned a 200-hour yoga teaching certificate and Masters degrees in both Education and Social Work.

    All along the way, yoga has helped me access clarity, contentment and strength. At Tadasana, you can find me teaching stretchy and strong vinyasa flow classes, leading restorative sound baths, reveling in our awesome studio community and occasionally cracking jokes.
