Rachel's Bio

A physical education and health teacher of 15 years turned Stress Relief and Alignment Guide, Yoga Instructor, International Best-Selling Author, Certified Tao Hands Practitioner, Podcast Host, and Tarot Reader.

18 years ago, Yoga was THE thing that put me back in touch with my body. I had dissociated from my body at a very young age due to various traumatic events. My first yoga class made me feel like I had come home. Home to myself. Through the movement and the breathing I was able to step back into my authentic self and power.

The body is wildly intelligent and it is an honor to be of service in this way, connecting you back with your body and your breath.
When I am not being of service you will find me communing with Mother Earth. Nature is my medicine and I love nearly all activities involving the outdoors; skiing, hiking, paddle-boarding, exploring and traveling.

I began yoga in 2018 and soon noticed many positive shifts in my everyday life. Yoga has been a tool in my life that keeps me more grounded, patient and peaceful.

In 2023, I decided I wanted to share this practice with others and attended yoga teachers training at Darling yoga in Overland Park. I am passionate about helping others achieve their goals and find inner peace through the practice of yoga.

When I’m not teaching, I enjoy spending time in nature, gardening and creating art.

Annie's Bio

Yoga has been a part of my life for nearly 20 years and through my practice I have grown more mindful, more connected to my inner self, balanced and brave, both on and off the mat. Yoga continues to encourage me to live a life full of self-love and mindfulness. I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with the beautiful Silvia Mordini of Alchemy of Yoga.

I will always remain a student of practice as I am truly thankful for the endless wisdom my teachers have gifted and continue to gift. During my yoga practices, I love to combine mindful sequencing, a spirit of exploration, as well as some inspiration to motivate you to deepen and expand your practice.

I desire to help individuals of all kinds to nurture and connect further within their mind and soul with yoga. My goal is for you to step off your mat and take with you a peaceful connection and the courage to live a more balanced life while practicing self-love and anchoring through purposeful practice.

Mackenzie's Bio

I first discovered yoga in high school to help with stress and anxiety. The calmness and peace I found through yoga inspired me to become a teacher.
My goal in teaching is to bring those benefits to other people.

I’m currently working towards a degree in physical education to hopefully teach yoga in schools. I have met the sweetest people through teaching yoga that inspire me even more. I am so grateful to get to teach.

Fun fact: I love going on hikes with my dog

See you in class soon!

Amy's Bio

For the majority of my life, I have been a caregiver. I started my career as a nurse to animals. It was a physically demanding job and I first tried yoga as it was offered by my employer on my lunch break. The benefits from my practice were noticeable immediately and the relief I felt from fear, pain, anxiety and stress was enough to convince me of yoga’s healing properties.

While recovering from chronic stressful and traumatic events, I have once again found yoga to be life saving and what I experience in the intimate and sacred moments on my mat are nothing short of magic!

I wish to share what I have discovered in myself in hopes that others may find some peace, acceptance and unconditional love that practicing yoga has gifted me.

I have been practicing since 2008, completed the 200 hour YTT and chair YTT in 2023 and vow to continue as a student for life. Off the mat, I enjoy being a mother most, caring for my elderly mother, being with my pets, nature/gardening, music/dancing, and creating.

Debra's Bio

Hi! I’m so excited to be teaching a full-time meditation class at Mantra! Meditation has been life-changing for me, and it is my deepest desire to guide others through the immensity of spiritual awareness and discover their innate power to transform their lives.

I am passionate about developing higher levels of consciousness through energy, frequency, and vibration to manifest a life I love. When we raise our energetic vibration, everything in our lives shifts for the better. That’s why my mission is to help others connect with their divine nature and manifest a fulfilling life, whatever that looks like for them.

I recently moved to Kansas City from San Diego, and I’m happy to return to my Midwest roots. I love being outside and in nature as much as possible – it’s one of the best ways for me to connect with Source. I love animals, I’m passionate about local, regenerative farming, and I love to read and do crossword puzzles (ask me about my book recommendations!).

Kelly's Bio

After her own spiritual awakening, Kelly embraced the newfound power of her spiritual gifts and considers herself a mystic visionary, as well as a reader. She combines these two sides of herself to facilitate an intuitive, multi-sensory and grounding experience, allowing her to tap into symbols and spiritual energy that paint a picture of what a person is working through, their hearts desires, and with the use of a variety of symbolic oracle cards, music, breathing, senses, and guided, meditative visualization techniques, creates a sense of safety and openness that leads to a rich reading and guided journey that will bring you to deep spiritual truths.

Her readings leave you not only equipped with a practice you can use yourself, but a beautiful wisdom notecard as a memoir to take with you along your own path. Her goal is for the people she encounters to feel more connected to self, to release what’s blocking them and live out their lives liberated and full of peace and vitality. If you’re ready, let’s Journey Deep.

Kristi

Read Kristi’s Bio

Kristi's Bio

Fifteen years as an avid meditator, 7 of which she has stepped into the role of teacher, Kristi’s approach to meditation bridges traditional techniques such as a body scan with creative visualization, as well as practical discussion on “how to” establish and maintain a meditation practice that works for a given individual’s lifestyle and fits their needs.

When leading meditations, the guidance she provides is driven by several core concepts:

· The importance of befriending one’s own internal emotional life without judgement

· Being “in the body” and engaging fully with all six senses through practices such as “noting”

· Practicing the pause to “catch” emotional reactions and down-regulate the body’s physiological stress response

Taken together, focus on these concepts in meditation allows us to step into what it means to be our “favorite” and most (self)-loveable selves, leading ever-richer lives that draw on the power of the present moment.

While she has a certificate in Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction, a Master’s in Education, and is finishing up a certificate in Somatic Therapy, Kristi’s most significant learnings about meditation techniques, developing a solid practice, and fully leveraging its transformative effects have come from her own recovery from various traumas and her self-healing process; she takes an avid interest in the well-being of her students, who she views as her co-creators, and has recently devoted her professional life to helping others explore the understood borders of themselves.

Erin Says…

“The community built at Mantra is incredibly kind and accepting. As someone brand new to yoga, I felt very welcomed into the space from the first time I came in. I’ve gone to a class by almost every instructor now, and I have enjoyed each and every one of them.”
