Meg McCraken RYT

After years of trail running, rock climbing, ice climbing, mountaineering, snowboarding, surfing and mountain biking, Meg began yoga to fix her broken down body. What started as a physical healing of trashed knees, a bad shoulder, sore feet and ankles and unbelievably tight hips turned into much more. Through the years, Meg has found a passion for yoga and the peace, strength and focus it brings to her life.  

Her classes are a fun mix of alignment and flow that focus on the breath, modifications where appropriate and lots of individual attention. 

Having received her Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) certification through Nicki Doane and Eddie Modestini, Meg is very grateful to them and all of her other teachers for sharing their gift of yoga. What a blessing! 

She is currently working towards a Yoga Therapy Certification and loves helping people heal with yoga.

Brain Lawless

Brian has been practicing yoga for many years and has completed weekend trainings with YogaFit and will be pursuing a Teacher Training Program with Nancy Ruby of YogaMotion in Missoula for the next 7 months. He is a certified personal trainer and has taught yoga classes at the Iron Horse Athletic Club and completed Pilates certification training.

For Brian, yoga has served as a base for other athletic pursuits including bicycling and hiking.  "I believe yoga is a great starting point for improving the quality of your life.  Integrating breath, strength, flexibility and balance builds a healthy body and facilitates a clear focused mind."

Brian moved to the Bitterroot Valley from the San Francisco area 5 and 1/2 years ago with his wife Laurie and their two dogs Crystal and Rumi.  Leaving behind a career in pharmaceutical/medical sales, airports, and congested commutes, Brian enjoys breathing in the beauty and spirit of western Montana and moving in stillness.

JJ Cutolo

JJ came to the Bitterroot Valley in 2002, after a long career of being a Disc Jockey in various radio stations in the U.S. She first found yoga in California, and after several "gym yoga" classes she found a Hatha studio she liked. After moving, and coming back to California, she met her husband and retired to the Bitterroot Valley, where she and her husband started a Martial Arts ( Hapkido) studio. JJ studied and worked hard to get her first degree black belt in 2005. Yoga seemed to be a natural progression from martial arts, and has helped improve her performance in both diciplines.

For JJ, yoga is the Yin to Hapkido's Yang. " For me, yoga has been a journey in getting to know myself. It's a wonderful tool for healing, for introspection, and the best part of it is for me, a very personal journey. It has really shown me where my strengths and weaknesses are, where I am physically, mentally, emotionally,and spiritually. If you give yoga time, and you do the work, it can and does work subtle miracles."
