About our Instructors KAY EPPLE I was first drawn to yoga for the physical practice, but soon learned that asana was just a small part of yoga. My passion led me to completing many yoga teacher trainings, including receiving my RYT-200 and RCYT. One thing I realized at my 200-hour yoga teacher training was how much children would benefit from yoga too. I wished I had this knowledge when my husband and I were raising our four kids, but with eleven amazing grandchildren I knew I had a mission. I’ve taken many courses specializing in all aspects of children and adolescents since that first one. I continue to work to bring yoga and mindfulness to as many families as I can. CATHY FITZGERALD I was introduced to the amazing benefits of yoga with Rodney Yee’s AM Yoga on VHS nearly every morning for years. It helped me to feel calm and centered, ready to start my busy day. Eventually I was able to attend classes and my yoga practice began to evolve. Since my RYT-200 yoga teacher training, I just can’t get enough. There is always another training to attend or book to read. I was a dance instructor for many years and love working with children, so adding the RCYT (certified children’s yoga instructor) was a natural fit. Located in the heart of Traverse City – on the beautiful grounds of Historic Barns Park – The Botanic Garden will be a year-round sanctuary of environmental preservation, recreation and education. Its 25 acres will nurture the soul, enliven our history and promote Michigan’s natural beauty. With an emphasis on plant species native to northwest Michigan, it will create and enhance habitats for various forms of wildlife. As a place of refreshment and solace, The Botanic Garden’s unique and original design will inform and inspire. After over a decade of careful planning and preparation, the garden is coming alive.
