Inside Flow is a Vinyasa class that moves with the rhythm of the music and embodies the energy of the song to help you experience a flow like state of mind without any resistance.

Music goes directly into your heart. The aim of yoga is to reach your heart through physical movement. … That’s why we fuse music with yoga practice.

Some knowledge of yoga or dance is recommended.

Kacie began her yoga journey in 2000 at a YMCA and quickly discovered the profound impact it had on her body, mind, and spirit. In 2005, while pregnant with her son, she earned her first certification in prenatal yoga, blending her passion for movement with a desire to support women through major life transitions. Since then, her teaching has expanded to include trauma-informed practices, restorative and yin yoga, flow-based movement, and a deep commitment to helping people reconnect with themselves.

In 2020, Kacie became the enthusiastic owner of Shine Yoga, a warm, welcoming studio focused on community, healing, and growth. With over two decades of personal practice and professional training, she now leads classes, trainings, retreats, and coaching programs that support women—especially those navigating midlife, work, parenting, and hormonal shifts. A Reiki Master, experienced life coach, and teacher trainer, Kacie combines grounded wisdom with playful energy to help people flourish in all areas of life.

A little about Nik:

Nik began training in martial arts at the age of 16, starting with Muay Thai (kickboxing) and Filipino Arnis (stick fighting). After sustaining a serious knee injury that required surgery, he discovered Chi Kung and Tai Chi through the Ñam Hoa Temple system and the Longevity Tree Form. This practice not only allowed him to continue his love of movement but also provided a deeper, more mindful strength that supported both physical and mental healing.

Over the years, Nik integrated these principles into all aspects of life, from surfing and snowboarding to daily work and well-being. His greatest appreciation for the arts of Yoga and Chi Kung comes from their adaptability—these practices grow with us, enhancing all forms of physical training rather than being confined to traditional movements. Through breathwork, he cultivates a sense of flow, much like a river moving from the mountains, creating space for stillness amidst the busyness of daily life.

In 2004, Nik became a certified instructor in the Longevity Tree, Yang Energy, and Tiger Forms under Master Jim Scott Berhends. Since then, he has been sharing this transformative practice, guiding others toward strength, balance, and inner peace.

Space is limited—registration is strongly recommended.

This is a unique class that combines gentle yoga movements with myofascial release techniques. Using massage balls, tennis or golf balls, you'll focus on massaging the fascia— the fibrous connective tissue that supports your muscles, organs, tendons, and bones. Over time, fascia can become dehydrated and restricted due to injury or age. This class will help restore its health by promoting hydration and freedom of movement through self-massage and targeted yoga poses.

Rejuvenate your body and improve your overall well-being with gentle yoga and Myofascial Release!
