I danced for over 13 years and am so glad I have the opportunity to now teach children's ballet classes, as well as take on a new role as a barre instructor. I have a degree in kinesiology from WSU (go Cougs!), and I am thrilled that I get to work in an area where my major applies. Hope to see you soon!

Colin Krikac
My yoga journey began at Sanctuary in 2013, and has grown here since. After falling in love with the practice, I became certified the summer of 2016 and have been teaching here ever since. You can find me teaching Yin, Hatha & Vinyasa, as I love a well-rounded and varied approach to both yoga and life. Yoga has taught me the gift of mind/body/spirit connection to healing, health, and happiness, and it is my intention to give that same gift and holistic life approach to the classes I guide.Zachary Cartwright
Yoga RYT 200Instructor at Sanctuary since September, 2017. From Albuquerque, NM. I hold a Biochemistry degree from New Mexico State University. During my undergraduate years, I started practicing yoga regularly to improve my flexibility and mental strength. When I am not in the studio, you can find me in the Food Science building at WSU working on my PhD in Wine Science, or behind my turntables as I DJ under the name "DJ Grape Vinyl."
Kristin Cutler
In May of 2016 I became a 200RYT in the Power/Vinyasa yoga tradition and have since immersed myself in various other trainings and workshops. My mission as a Yoga Teacher is to provide my students with a non-dogmatic yoga experience focused on taking charge of their physical, mental and spiritual well-being, without apology. I strive to provide a quality yoga practice that is based on wisdom, not vanity, and promotes self-reflection, growth, healing and transformation from within.Alyson Koerner
Alyson has been practicing yoga for 20 years. She loves yoga because of the sense of mental and physical strength she gets from the practice. "No matter how I feel when I come to my mat, I walk away with a much calmer, clearer perspective. My hope for my students is that I am able to help them find a similar experience."Angela Taylor
