Meet The Team
Gabbi
Gabbi started her yoga journey right out of high school in 2014. She moved from the Tri Cities to Utah where she continued her personal practice at a local studio and classes through DSU where she studied Psychology. When she began working at the local hospital she discovered a deep passion for health and wellness, and loved connecting to people. Her curiosity and love for the practice grew and she decided to move to Kennewick in 2017 where she received her 200 hour yoga teacher training one- on one with Sonja Hansen. She is an 200 RYT, barre fitness specialist, and trainee facilitator where she instructs at Pura Vida. She recently obtained her Permaculture Design Certificate and loves outdoor activities, gardening, and learning.
Morgan
In 2016, Morgan pushed herself out of her comfort zone and tried her first Vinyasa class. Since then, her yoga mat has become her happy place. In October 2022, she completed her 200 hour yoga teacher training with Pura Vida. As a second-grade teacher, she hopes to take her love for yoga into the classroom. She also enjoys spending time with her family, photography, and cheering on the Seahawks.
Alyssa
Alyssa started playing sports at a young age. She grew up attending her 3 older brothers sporting events and fell in love with fitness. She was born and raised in the Tri Cities, graduated from Kennewick High and then went on to play Division 1 soccer in Utah. That is where she met her husband who she has 4 children with. After college she continued her fitness journey through personal training, group classes, and sport specific training. She fell in love with helping other reach their goals. When she was introduced to Barre- she was hooked. She became certified through Barre Above and began instructing at Pura Vida where she feels blessed to do what she loves surrounded by wonderful people

They moved back to Tri-Cities when they started their family and have 3 kiddos who keep them busy. She enjoys, and is mediocre at, lots of things including cycling, cooking, singing, reading and sports.
