In her supportive teaching environment, Iwona focuses on mastering form, understanding how to breathe, helping build confidence in the postures in order to enjoy yoga.

Kate is a first-year at SCU from the suburbs of Chicago. In her free time, she likes to hike, go on runs, practice yoga, go to concerts, and bake. She fell in love with yoga because of the ways it supports her physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

Lily is a first year at SCU! She is from Northern California and has been a recreational cyclist for 10 years, including road and mountain biking. During her junior year of high school, she joined a mountain biking team, but realized that she loved the cycling community more than the competitive atmosphere. In her senior year, she had the honor of being selected as an ambassador for the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) Girls Riding Together (GRiT) program. She spent a year devoting her time to introducing female-identifying students to mountain biking. This past summer, she went on a road cycling adventure to the French Alps to climb 5 of the most famous Tour de France mountain stages. She wants to make this class a fun and welcoming place for everyone of all levels. Feel free to follow her instagram account (@lily_spin) for information and updates about class.
