Hi, I'm Melanie! I started my yoga journey when I was dealing with a stressful situation and yoga seemed like a good solution at the time. It was very hard and uncomfortable for me. My thoughts were racing and I just couldn't focus. I thought it was too hard, but I knew I always left feeling better. A couple years later, I decided to give yoga another shot, and I've really grown such a love for yoga. It has helped me grow as a person and continues to challenge me. I have learned to connect with myself. I have learned to turn my mind off and just be free in the moment. Yoga gives me the opportunity to become a little bit better every time. I get to try new things, push a little further, get a little deeper, have fun, and be me. When I am on my mat, there are no other worries in the world. Soon after getting back into yoga, I was able to incorporate nutrition into my life. I wanted clarity and to feel better in my body. Food nourishes our physical, emotional, spiritual, and social well-being. By nourishing the body, we can nourish the spark of life within. {I am Peace, I am Love, I am Free}
My name is Tonnie and my physical, mental, and spiritual journey started 4 years ago with the practice of meditation. At the time, my life was hectic. I was searching for a way to ground myself, find inner peace, and focus on my point of attraction. Meditation became a part of me, therefore my point of attraction got stronger, and lead me into this incredible community of people. I had been working out 6 months prior to meeting my now mentor and health coach Negin, but lost motivation because I wasn’t seeing the results I wanted, so I kind of let myself go. The moment I walked into Stick 2 It, I knew I had found what I was looking for. I started my nutrition plan and I’m down 20 pounds, 4 pant sizes! Negin introduced me to hot yoga 1 year ago, and I immediately felt connected to it. Yoga is more than a physical experience. It is the art of aligning your mind, body, and soul. I have invested in myself through nutrition, fitness, and yoga. The return has been great health, confidence, and inner peace.
Hi, my name is Peggie! As a Registered Nurse, I always knew the value of good nutrition, but was not very consistent in taking care of myself. When I started my nutrition plan, I immediately felt a change in how my body responded to everything. Physically, mentally, emotionally…I just felt so much better. With the support of this community and the coaches that I get to work alongside, I am able to be consistent, focus on my health and help others to do the same. Helping others is definitely something I am passionate about and continues to be so rewarding which is why I made the decision to open up my smoothie bar, Nutrition Fix. I am excited to be able to offer that good nutrition within Freedom Yoga! Yoga has always been intriguing to me and I look forward to continuing to nourish my mind, body and soul!!
Hi there! My name is Negin and my spiritual journey began in 2007. At that time I had made a decision to take a healthier path in life and that began with trying my very first hot yoga class. From that point forward, I have practiced yoga consistently and have gained much more than just a physical transformation. It was then when I learned meditation, patience, and how to let go of my ego. This got my closer to my spiritual self. The day I finally stepped foot into Stick 2 It Fitness & Nutrition, I knew I had found my tribe. Others that valued their health, their mindset, and truly brining positivity and love to one another. When I chose to start my nutrition plan, everything improved.; Not only did I drop 4 pant sizes in my first 30 days, I also got energy and mental clarity;. I was able to meditate on a deeper level and truly connect spiritually now that my temple was also healed. It's been such a special journey to take my experiences and help others in so many different ways. I've been a health coach for almost 5 years helping people with their nutrition and mindset. I've co-created a women's empowerment group that's continued for over 3 years. And now I am so blessed to continue my passion of overall wellness with Freedom Yoga!

Hi! My name is Alicia! My love for yoga started almost 9 years ago after I had my last child. I was a stay at home mom of 5 beautiful kids and needed to find a stress reliever. Then almost 2 years ago I started my nutrition plan with the Freedom Yoga Tribe and have lost 30 lbs. Shortly after that I went to my first Freedom Yoga class and feel in love with yoga in a completely different way. I had done yoga before but had not incorporated true wellness that had always been the missing piece for me. Having all those pieces has changed my life and the life of my kids. My teenage boys also join me and love the class and it has really helped them mentally. Our eating habits have drastically changed and so has out mindset. Every class is a different experience for me and every time I go in class and get on my yoga mat I release and heal so much. Freedom Yoga had given me true Mind Body Soul connection!

My name is Heather and I am honored to share the gift of yoga with you! I’ve had a fitness focused practice of yoga since my teenage years, but it truly became a lifeline after a traumatic injury resulted in nerve damage and partial paralysis of my right leg in my early 20s. Not only did my practice became a source of healing, it allowed me to reclaim my physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Despite a decade plus long personal practice and advanced certifications in yoga (Integrative Yoga Therapy 200 Hour Training, certified in Trauma Informed Yoga Therapy, certified Laughter Yoga Leader, advanced Reiki and meditation practitioner…just to name a few), my personal wellness journey plateaued and eventually stalled. I gave up teaching yoga in 2017. When I met Negin in 2019, she invited me to Freedom Yoga. I felt so much love from the Freedom Yoga Tribe, I was called to invest in myself through my own nutrition plan. That one decision caused a breakthrough (mind, body, and soul) I never imagined possible. Not only did I lose 30+ pounds and 3 pants sizes, I evolved tremendously on the inside, gaining the confidence and courage I had lost long ago. That inspired me to teach yoga again and support others on their journey as a health coach. I believe that every body can experience the gifts of yoga, and everybody deserves to have it all. Namaste.
