Jodi Gilbert, Flexibility Educator
Jodi is a 200 Hour Certified Yoga Instructor who found adding a flexibility routine to marathon training helped her find more balance both on and off the mat. Jodi enjoys designing classes that develop physical strength and flexibility, while challenging students to bring more mental acuity to their practice, training, and life through awareness of breath. During the day, Jodi works at an area middle school as a speech-language pathologist. Off the yoga mat, Jodi enjoys traveling to dog shows, Chiefs football, baking sweet treats, reading, and all things summer.
Kristine Murphy, Licensed Massage Therapist
Kristine graduated from The Healing Arts Center in St. Louis with her certificate in Massage Therapy in July 2017, and was licensed as a Massage therapist shortly thereafter. Since then, she has taken Ashiatsu massage and learned advanced Sports massage techniques while working with the athletes of the St. Louis Football Club. “The focus of my massage is whole person wellness- whether you've had a long stressful day, and need to relax (long, deep strokes), or if you're training for an Ironman and need extremely deep tissue (to work out muscle adhesions and trigger points), my focus will always be on your comfort and end goals. By focusing on getting your body back into homeostasis, I will help you achieve your goals and feel your best. I'm experienced in working with variety of clients, ranging from professional athletes to young adults and geriatric.”
