Jordan DeWitte

Instructor

Hello :) I’m Jordan, a college student perusing nursing who is also extremely passionate about fitness. I struggled for years to find a way to move my body that I enjoyed. Group fitness has cured that in every aspect and there’s nothing more I’d want to do than to share that with others.

Outside of teaching, I keep myself busy nannying and doing schoolwork. In my free time I enjoy coffee shops, friend dates, and shopping, all the usual girl necessities:)

My passion for fitness only continues to grow. I am invested in growing my knowledge to teach others, and love having the opportunity to share what’s changed my life with other people. Hope to see you all in my classes soon!

Instructor

I’m originally from Burke, SD. I am going to college at the University of Sioux Falls for nursing and run track there as well. I started going to hot yoga when I moved up here for school. It serves me as a mental break and has reduced my stress levels incredibly. I hope to help others feel this way as well.

Ali Deering

She is excited to share yoga in a way that feels accessible, empowering, and supportive for every body. Ali’s classes encourage students to move with intention, breathe deeply, and leave feeling stronger, more grounded, and refreshed—both on and off the mat.
