Katie Fout, Yoga instructor
A recent transplant from North Carolina , Katie began her yoga journey around 4 years ago
and fell instantly in love with the sense of peace and centering the practice has afforded her
over the years.  With a fitness background that ranges from military fitness routines (yes she’s
ex-military) to aerobics and everything in between the full spectrum practice of spiritual,
physical and emotional well-being offered by her yoga practice has been a natural fit.  She
parlayed her love of the practice into teaching in 2008 studying at the Wilmington Yoga Center
, Wilmington , North Carolina , where she earned her teacher’s certification.


Judy Jackson, Yoga instructor
A native of Mississippi and a transplanted Californian, Judy is a very active retired educator,

institute in LA, where she became a certified yoga instructor in 2006.
