Meet Sky

Meet Our Newest Team Member: The Four-Legged Wellness Coach
Sky Zen 🐾

We’re thrilled to introduce the newest (and arguably cutest) member of our studio family, our puppy Sky Zen! 🐶💛

This little guy will be joining us in most of our classes, quietly doing downward chew while you’re doing your downward dog. He’s here to support your wellbeing journey with his calming presence, gentle energy, and occasional comedic relief.

A few things to know:
✨ He’s hypoallergenic and non-shedding, so even the most delicate noses can breathe easy.
✨ He’s crate-trained and often hangs out in his cozy enclosure, happily chewing on his toys and minding his own business.
✨ While he’s still a puppy, he’s been raised in a loving, calm environment and has already mastered the art of being a respectful studio companion.

If you love dogs, you’re going to adore him. If you're unsure or have allergies or past experiences you'd like us to know about, please don’t hesitate to reach out before class, we’re always here to support your comfort too.

At the heart of our space is a deep commitment to care, connection, and community. And this pup? He’s just one more reminder that healing doesn’t have to be serious all the time , sometimes it comes with a tail wag and a soft snore.

Come flow with us, he can’t wait to meet you 🐾🧘‍♀️

Our approach

Being is about helping you connect with your own self; mind, body and breathe.
Our biggest job is to keep you safe, mentally, physically and emotionally, which is why we meet you where you are. We work at your pace, don’t get us wrong, we will challenge you but we will mostly keep you safe for you to grow and explore things at your own time.

Most favorite place to practice yoga, get to know yoga and understand your own body and limits! KOTTE is an incredible and humble teacher!! There is absolutely nothing plastic about this class or her!! She really breaks the typical stereotype that society has over yoga. If you are looking for raw, original and beneficial yoga, Kotte is your lady!!! She is a friend as well as a teacher and you feel confident putting your trust in her!! Xxx

- Lia Chapman

Honestly the best yoga teacher I’ve been taught by. She is so humble and makes the class so much fun. It is a completely different experience to any other class I’ve been to. Would recommend to anyone especially beginners who claim, “I can’t do yoga”. Kotte will change your mind on that one.

- Rhea Deacon

Kotte mixes knowledge, experience, playfulness and heart-felt sincerity into her down-to-earth, flow-style practice. Focus on breath and self-reflection is encouraged. Great for new to seasoned asana practitioners.

- Jacqui Nokes

Yoga with Kotte is awesome, I attend the Monday class most weeks. This is great way to stretch out and shake off the big weekends and create a positive outlook for the week ahead. Kotte is always a fun burst of energy, she always makes the class laid back and entertaining atmosphere! She is always on hand with useful yoga tips and encourages her yogis to try new things, yet be comfortable in there practice. Get on down and give it a go!!

- Ross Clarke

Kotte has a special way of connecting with her students that is engaging, instructive and loving. She is a talented teacher who can reach people from all walks of life with humor and wonderful clarity. Her yoga has changed my life and I’m honored to be her student.
