Angela Blair
Angela was intrigued with the idea of hot yoga and in 2011 she purchased a groupon for her and her son. She was totally taken by hot yoga. In September 2012 Angela completed her 200 hour RYT training with Sacred Hot yoga. Angela loves watching as people find the connection between their body, their breath and their soul. She believes that yoga is for everyone and every body type ie: short, tall, big, little, strong, weak, flexible, and inflexible and she encourages her students to go where their body is able to go in that moment – every posture, in every movement can be modified.
Angela hopes that all that come to her class feel loved, supported, and safe to be themselves.
Angela is a Reiki Master and a E-RYT500 teaching Wednesdays at 5:15pm!
Angela also offers private Reiki sessions!

Since surviving a near fatal car crash, many rotations around the sun ago, yoga has been a fundamental element in my healing process.
The grace of God, yoga and acupuncture are the reason I can walk today! I am blessed with two adult children who inspire me daily to be a better person than I was the day before. I love to dance, swim and read. I have practiced yoga on all three coasts of the United States,
because everyplace I go, yoga goes with me! If there is something I can inspire in my students, it would be the understanding that healing
is possible and that all bodies are yoga bodies
Abril is a Reiki Master and a RYT200 teaching Wednesdays at 5:30am and Fridays at 8:15pm!

Beate Roybal
Beate Roybal first found yoga during her pursuit to become healthier. Her daughter who was an avid yogi convinced her to give it a try and it didn't take long before she was hooked ! A rapidly increasing passion for yoga drove Beate to try different forms and styles of yoga, eventually leading to a teacher training class. Excited yet nervous she jumped at the chance to broaden her perspective of yoga, not with the idea of teaching but with an open mind and an open heart. With her RYS-200 curriculum certificate in hand she completed the course at elevate yoga teacher training. Shortly after, Beate received an offer to teach the free community class at Elevation Yoga. It was here at the free community class Beate really found her passion to teach yoga. Since then, being able to help people find what's right for each individuals body has remained her main focus, along with making it easy for people of all skill levels to enjoy her class.

I began practicing yoga 13 years ago when I was going through a difficult time in my life. At that time, I was also raising five children and dealing with the stress of my job as a first responder. I really needed to focus on my mental health. I purchased a trial membership at a hot yoga studio for $20. I hated my first class. It was hot, difficult, and sweaty. I was not going back! That night, I slept through the night for the first time in a very long time. I decided to go back the next day and see if it was just a coincidence. Again, I slept through the night. I still hated it but continued going. Practice got easier, I lost 30 lbs, and I began to love it! Yoga has helped me live a healthier life both mentally and physically. A couple of years ago everything aligned and I was able to attend yoga teacher training. I now teach at Elevation, and volunteer at both Behind the Badge and the Sheriff's Academy. I am grateful to have found this healing modality and honored to share it.

A Jack of All Trades is what I think explains me to a core but my true happy place is either practicing Yoga or being in a Gym. I love combining the power of lifting with the mobility and flexibility of yoga. I hope to bring that mindset and training to my yoga teaching. I am a Level 1 Certified Precision Nutritionist and Certified 200hr Yoga Teacher. I have been teaching for over a year and love to combine new techniques to help the body move and stretch. Can't wait to see you on the mat!

Jane Garcia
Jane's yoga journey began in 2012 after she sought a workout that would be gentler on her knees following a running injury. As her practice deepened, so did her love for yoga, leading her to pursue and complete a 200-hour yoga teacher training at the Himalaya Yoga Valley in Goa, India. Passionate about using yoga to help individuals reconnect their mind and body, Jane specializes in PTSD-informed yoga, working with first responders and their families. Her experience includes collaborating with the Rio Rancho Fire Department and Albuquerque Fire Department, focusing on helping those who have experienced trauma to find healing through mindful movement and breathwork. Outside of teaching yoga, Jane is a proud mom of two young boys. When she’s not on the mat, you can often find her enjoying woodworking or attending live music events.

Melody Tsui
After a severe car accident in her mid 20’s, Melody was semi paralyzed from the neck down. Her doctor recommended that she try acupuncture and yoga. He gave her a few yoga poses to try at home. After several months of practice, acupuncture, and a profound spiritual activation, Melody regained full mobility of her body. After moving to NM from MD her spiritual journey was forced into a high-speed ascension. In 2018 she began her Ryt-200 at Elevation while pregnant with her second child. After completion of her training, she gave birth to a beautiful baby boy but soon after went into extreme heart failure. She had her 5th open heart surgery in the summer of 2019 and believed that her pregnancy, yoga, and Temazcal Sweat Ceremonies helped keep her alive during that time. She has taught mommy and me, pregnancy and babywearing, meditation, vinyasana, hot flow, gentle, and yin yoga classes. She is trained as a Reiki Grandmaster, herbalist, and infusions specialist, and Curandera. She is an initiated Shaman through the lineage of Don Patricio Dominguez and a Temazclera. Melody offers monthly Kiva and Temazcal Yolxillantli ceremonies in the south valley as well as private healing/Reiki and plant medicine ceremonies.
