Bozeman Power Yoga Instructors
Alisia Roe
Alisia's journey into the world of yoga began during her high school years, but it wasn't until after the birth of her son in 2013 that she truly embraced a regular practice. The transformative moment came when she discovered heated power yoga, a practice that ignited her passion and dedication to the practice and inspired Alisia to start teaching yoga.
Alisia's commitment to her yoga practice reached new heights when she successfully completed the Bozeman Power Yoga 200-Hour Teacher Training in 2022. This achievement earned her a Yoga Alliance Certification, solidifying her expertise as an instructor.
Beyond her role as a yoga teacher, Alisia plays a pivotal role as the studio manager at Bozeman Power Yoga. Her dedication extends beyond the mat, as she diligently ensures the smooth operation of the studio, creating an optimal experience for all.
Outside of the yoga studio, Alisia shares her journey with her husband Ty, whom she met through a mutual love of hot yoga. Their family includes her beloved son and two goofy dogs.
Austin Leach
Austin found himself drawn to yoga more recently in life, in search of a stronger mind-body connection and a greater understanding of self. Through commitment and dedication to a regular practice he began to experience the transformative and healing powers of yoga and was compelled to complete the Bozeman Power Yoga 200-Hour Advanced Yoga Program in early 2023.
You can expect a breath-centered and physically focused class, journeying through the layers of you, to discover and empower your true self.
Callie DeMay
Callie was looking for ways to calm a busy mind during the covid pandemic. She started yoga in her living room with a mat, youtube videos, and a big fluffy dog underfoot, but ultimately found a hot yoga studio in Chicago that sparked an interest and provided her a strong foundation.
Callie grew up in Bozeman and happened upon Bozeman Power Yoga while looking for a place to practice on visits home. From the first class, she felt a true sense of belonging – the physical practice spoke to her athletic nature and the beautiful community spoke to her peace-seeking heart. Immediately after booking flights to Bozeman, she would book yoga classes.
Callie completed the Bozeman Power Yoga 200-Hour Teacher Training in early 2023, which triggered a move back home later that year. Callie hopes to provide a welcoming room for you to feel empowered to grow and calm your mind, your breath, and your body.
Claire Gilbert
Claire was a helicopter pilot in the Navy for 10 years, and from the very beginning of her career (flight school), she became addicted to hot yoga. Every time the military moved her, her first order of business was to try every studio in town until she felt at home. In Virginia Beach, her practice advanced a lot, and she pursued her 200 hour teacher training through Torch Yoga. She loved the next level heat and creative, challenging flows that the studio offered. She tried to incorporate yoga into her flying life, doing pranayama exercises before and after challenging flights, and leading basic yoga for her squadron mates while they were deployed on the ship and looking to stay in shape.
Upon completion of military service, Claire moved her family to Bozeman, where she completed the advanced 20-hour Power Yoga program at Bozeman Power Yoga.
Claire enjoys the infinite depth that the practice of yoga offers. She believes that the physical and mental challenges the practice presents are opportunities to grow in some way through every single class. Claire's goal is to provide creative and challenging sequences in her classes.
Danni MacKenzie
In college Danni went with friends to a hot yoga studio and appreciated the intensity of the physical experience. Over time she realized not only was she physically benefitting but mentally too. Danni moved from Washington State to Bozeman in 2019, loving everything about the area including hiking, running, camping and the community. She deeply expanded her yoga practice from 2020-2021 while working and taking classes as well as completing her 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training at Bozeman Power Yoga. As a yoga teacher and certified massage therapist, Danni's commitment to wellness shines through.

Emma first connected with hot yoga in high school, finding it not only to be an intense and rewarding workout, but also an incredible outlet for creativity of movement. It wasn’t until she started attending classes at Bozeman Power Yoga that she experienced the transformative potential physical practice can have on the body, mind and spirit. A Bozeman native, former member of the Montana State Spirit Squad, and recent graduate of the Bozeman Power Yoga Advanced Yoga Programs, Emma hopes to provide practitioners with the space to channel their inner muse and connect with their intuition through asana. When Emma is not in the studio, you can find her working at the local nonprofit HRDC or on adventures with her two dogs, Odie and Murphy.
Hannah Anderson
Hannah will be teaching Yin Yoga. Her yoga journey began by attending hot power classes as cross training for her professional dance career, and quickly deepened as she experienced grounding and mental clarity that accompanied the intense flows, sparking a curiosity beyond the asana and leading her to teacher training.
She completed her 200 hour training in NYC, and continued with a 300 hour training in Costa Rica.
Hannah is passionate about the accessibility of yoga and believes yoga is for everybody and every body. She believes in the healing power of movement, the wisdom of stillness and the breath that connects us all.
Jean Conover
A long time practitioner of yoga, Jean has made it a goal to try different styles and studios whenever she travels, but has always come home to her favorite - heated power yoga. During the COVID pandemic, Jean realized that without regular practice her health and well-being were suffering. She recommitted to a personal daily yoga routine and got back in the hot room as soon as the studio re-opened. After feeling an incredible positive change in her mood, and mental and physical health, Jean was inspired to take her practice deeper. Jean completed her 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training and the Power Yoga Teacher Training at Bozeman Power Yoga this year and is excited to share the benefits of these methods with our community. In Jean’s classes you can expect a lively playlist, formidable flows, and a fun full-body workout.
Jessica Geary-Cecotti
Jess took her first yoga class back in college and it was love at first sun salutation. She dabbled in a variety of styles off and on until destiny landed her at BPY in January of 2022. That magic feeling was back stronger than ever, and with the added desire for a deeper understanding of the yogic path, Jess earned her 200 hour YTT at BPY in the summer of 2022.
Jess' main goal is to guide practitioners into their bodies to align with their heart and their highest potential.
When not practicing yoga, Jess is likely wrangling her two boys, graphic designing, doing art, gardening, playing hockey, or enjoying the outdoors with her family.
Kathleen Lefstad
An athlete, dancer, gymnast, and aerialist, Kathleen has spent most of her life exploring ways to move on the ground and through the air. She first turned to yoga as a method of improving her flexibility and strength, but truly fell in love with the practice when she realized how much there is to yoga beyond the postures. She began her training in San Francisco, CA in 2013, and her continued 300-Hour studies led to supporting a Yoga Therapy school as the School Director in San Francisco and Berkeley, CA before finally making the long anticipated move to Montana with her family.
Graduating from the Power Yoga Teacher Training program at Bozeman Power Yoga, she’s excited to blend previous studies with our method. Kathleen’s classes are driven by music, exploration and expressive movement, and her greatest hope is that students leave feeling well…just downright good. She hopes to continue to support students on their own personal journeys with yoga and self-exploration while also strengthening our community with the connection we find by moving together.
Kecia Fredericks
Kecia took her first hot yoga class in 2005 and she’s been hooked ever since. Her mind was clear and she felt so much lighter – she describes it as “truly amazing”. Kecia teaches to help others share in the experience of letting go while staying connected to themselves. She wants everyone to feel accepted and leave practice feeling grounded, with a sense of calm combined with improvement in physical strength. Kecia is from Montana and feels fortunate to be born, raised and continue to live in this beautiful place. Her three grown daughters all share a passion for yoga. Yoga is a very important part of Kecia’s life, and her goal is to share it with as many people as possible.
Taylor Harris
After struggling to make it through his first hot yoga class in 2015, Taylor was immediately intrigued; despite being a lifelong athlete, collegiate football player, and CrossFit coach, heated yoga offered a new challenge that kept him coming back. After continuing to drop-in on classes, Taylor began to realize how powerful the breathing aspect of yoga was, which led him to a deeper study of yoga and the breath, and resulted in the completion of his 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2018. After taking a few years off teaching to travel, Taylor ended up in Bozeman and after regularly attending classes at Bozeman Power Yoga, he decided to complete the 20 Hour Advanced Yoga Program. A licensed massage therapist and personal trainer also certified in Foundation Training and Functional Range Systems, Taylor brings a deep understanding of the body into his teaching. His classes merge awareness, strength, and fluid movement with the hope that people leave having learned something about themselves. When not teaching or practicing, Taylor enjoys gardening, cooking, and outdoor adventures.
Jackie Page
After a thirty-year career in media and marketing, Jackie wanted to bring her business acumen to yoga because of the way it can transform hearts and minds. As the Owner of Bozeman Power Yoga she prefers a class with powerful poses that encourages strength and flexibility, and values the self-awareness and spirituality side of the practice. Jackie has practiced many yoga styles for over twenty-five years, starting in the 1990’s at It’s Yoga in San Fransisco. (Founder Larry Schultz was a student of Pattabhi Jois and developed the still-thriving “Rocket Yoga” style.) Jackie also studied Bikram, which accustomed her to the heat; Iyengar with Tony Briggs (A Master Yogi in Marin County who studied with BKS Iyengar and Geeta Iyengar); and with Sherri Baptiste (Baron’s sister), who taught a more thoughtful version of Power Yoga. Jackie frequented Jivamutki and Dharma Yoga in New York as well as YogaWorks and CorePower Yoga when traveling. After earning her Yoga Alliance Teacher Certification, Jackie continued to build her spiritual and meditation practice. After practicing too often in unsavory conditions, Jackie is committed to providing a pristine, clean, and amenities-rich space at Bozeman Power Yoga. She deeply values the physically active community here in Bozeman, and the bountiful setting of the Rocky Mountains.
