Hi, I'm Dixie the founder and owner of Your Yoga Studio. I'm a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with the Yoga Alliance having over 200 hours of training in vinyasa, kids, seniors, and prenatal yoga. I'm also certified in Therapeutic Yoga and Thai Yoga Bodywork, have a second degree Black belt in TaeKwonDo, and a yellow belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
I teach a functional fitness style yoga class, with an emphasis on fun! You may find yourself smiling, giggling or even laughing out loud.
The Your Yoga instructors make sure everyone finds their place in each pose. We try to remove the mystery and intimidation out of yoga by making it fun and accessible to everyone.
I regularly host beginner, advanced, and specialty Yoga training seminars for YogaFit and teach yoga for Corporate clients.
"This is yoga with a sense of humor!" Dixie

Hi, I'm Kat,
I was born and raised in Austin,TX. My yoga journey started about 18 years ago when I took my first yoga class. Originally, I started practicing yoga as a way to improve my flexibility and supplement my fitness routine. Soon I realized that I had gained so much more than flexibility, I had gained a deep connection along with an understanding of my body that reminded with me well off my mat. Upon this realization I was hooked on practicing yoga. I continued my yoga exploration learning many different styles of yoga as well as the yogic philosophy.
In 2011 with the encouragement and support of Dixie, I began to teach yoga. I quickly began to discover that I thoroughly enjoyed encouraging others to discover and/or deepen their personal practices.
"Expect a yoga class that is fun, at times challenging, breath centered, free of judgement and competition with an eclectic arrangement of poses. I look forward to being a part of your yoga journey....see you in class!" Kat

Hi, I'm Christine,
I was born and raised in Germany and having fun is what I do best. I've always been very active and outdoorsy. In my family, walking and bicycling were part of our daily lives and it was normal for us to hike 15+ miles on a Sunday. I met my husband Tony, a GI at the time, got married, had a daughter, and in 1995 we took on the challenge of leaving our comfortable life in Germany for a new start in the U.S. We began our adventure on South Padre Island, Texas. Living on the beach, we spend most of our time outdoors – swimming, bicycling, flying kites and lots of walking. In fact, the only real need for a car was to cross the bridge to get to the mainland. In 1999, we moved to Austin to rejoin the "real world". My husband and I both love live music and readily take advantage of everything that Austin has to offer. The two things that keep me calm and balanced in my fast-paced (sometimes quite crazy) life-style are the rejuvenating waters of Barton Springs pool and yoga.
I started practicing vinyasa yoga in 2002. I was so happy when I found Dixie at Your Yoga, as I always felt a bit out of place in other studios. I enjoyed it so much that I wanted to learn more and, in June of 2013, started my teacher training with YogaFit. Since then I also became certified in Yoga for Seniors and Yoga with Props. In many cases props assist in achieving correct alignment and help to reduce the risk of injury.
My focus lies on strengthening the stabilizing muscles (core and glutes) and shoulders, as well as improving posture. These are all very important aspects to get us safely through our daily lives.
What you will find in my class is a fun, flowing set with an eclectic music playlist and a German accent! Christine ;)

Hi, I’m Renya!
I am originally from Chicago but moved to Austin with my husband in the summer of 2017. I have been practicing yoga since 2013 and my practice has evolved tremendously since I started. At first, it was just a way to spice up my fitness routine but little did I know, it would change the course of my life. I gained a sense of clarity that I never felt before practicing regularly, learned to cope with feelings of anxiety in healthy ways, felt more confident and in general, more content than ever before. Now, I am a registered yoga teacher through the Yoga Alliance and I feel so grateful to be able to connect with others and share this amazing vehicle to help us navigate through life with more compassion and presence.
Teaching yoga also caused me to develop a deep fascination for the human body and all of its amazing capabilities. With the desire to expand my skill-set, I am currently on track to enroll in a Doctor of Physical Therapy program in the fall of 2020. I feel so fortunate to have met Dixie and to have her support and knowledge available to me as I set myself up for the DPT program; and I am incredibly grateful and excited for the opportunity to be teaching at Your Yoga. In my classes, you will sweat, unwind, laugh (most likely at me being a goof), move creatively and feel good. I can’t wait to connect with you!
Peace - Renya

Hi, I'm April,
I was born and raised in Austin Texas. I've been practicing yoga for more than 10 years, but I find there's always something to learn. I've enjoyed practicing many different styles of yoga with many different teachers. The no nonsense tone Dixie sets at Your Yoga has kept me coming back. When I completed my yoga teacher training with the Living Yoga Program I was very excited to bring my skills to Your Yoga.
I've benefited so much from having yoga in my life. I find that so often the mat reflects the rest of my life. Do you control of your breath gain control over your life. Find balance in the pose. Find balance in your life. Through yoga I've learned more confidence, strength and flexibility both on and off the mat. No judgment here. In my class expect to spent some time flowing at your own pace and working on your balance and strength.
I love sharing my Yoga passion with people! April
