Morgan Kulas

Morgan Kulas is an artist and educator who was introduced to yogic studies as a young dancer in art school. She has been a devoted student of Hatha Yoga, Daoyin Arts, and Zen Buddhism since 2005. She has been teaching since 2011. Her practice and teachings are grounded in a sincere desire to transform suffering into understanding and to heal the body-mind-spirit connection. 

Morgan brings to her offerings a lifetime of training in classical and contemporary dance as well as considerable practice and study in Eastern Arts, Philosophies, and Sciences. When teaching yoga asana, some days she gravitates towards long holds in postures, buoyed up by props. Other days she loves a sweaty flow and the curiosity of her edge.

She is currently receiving her MFA in Interdisciplinary Art and Regenerative Culture at University of Hartford. Her mission is to restore connections between people and the earth through community centered movement and meditation offerings.

Felicia Romero-Scott

Felicia tried her first Heated Vinyasa Yoga class and was immediately hooked as she noticed a huge difference physically, mentally, and spiritually. She wanted to share the benefits of yoga and deepen her own practice, so she enrolled in YTT200 to help others find a sense of contentment, self-awareness and mind body connection on their mat. Felicia finds immense love and inspiration in teaching and seeing students discover their own journey and enjoys nurturing and encouraging them along their path. She consistently continues her education and completed her YTT300 training with Jonny Kest Oct. 20 2020, and is now YTT500-RYT. Felicia, her husband, dog, and two cats just recently moved back to the Valley and couldn’t be happier.  She is proud to lead yoga classes at Westin Athletic Club in hopes to grow and share the life changing benefits of a yoga practice. During her free time, you will find her hanging out in the sun with her hubby and dog, or enjoying a visit from her adult children playing and doing all the fun activities the beautiful mountains have to offer.

Vicki Balabous

Teaching is at the heart of what I love. As a full-time snowboard instructor in the winter, yoga compliments all our other athletic activities. Yoga is freedom and release, a connection of the mind, body, and soul and I am here to help others find this release so that they can comfortably and competently move their bodies through life.
