TONYA - Hi I’m Tonya Deetch, Health and Fitness have been my passion my entire life! I’ve been teaching and training others in the Fitness Industry for over 30 years. I am a nationally certified fitness instructor through AFAA, a certified Barre Instructor and a certified Yoga Instructor. Throughout my career I’ve been blessed to teach everything from Dance Fitness and Yoga to Boot Camps in the Louisville area. I discovered the amazing benefits of a Yoga practice in my 20’s after being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. My husband actually had to talk me into trying yoga. He thought it would help with the pain and stiffness of Fibromyalgia. Well he was right! Yoga was truly one of the major keys to controlling my pain and getting me back to all of the things I loved to do! Several years later I decided to take the journey to certification so I could share what I had learned with as many people as possible. I’m so excited to be apart of YogiBarre Fitness and bring all of my favorite classes to you! We are going to have so much fun!!! Meet me at the Barre!

STEF - Stef’s career in fitness began in athletics in high school and college. Aerobics and running kept her active after college. In 1999 a friend took her to a Hot Hatha yoga class and it became her passion. In 2002, Stef completed Bikram Choudhury’s 9 week intensive yoga certification while living in Los Angles, California. She instructed classes in the original hot studios in East Louisville. After becoming a mom in 2004, Stef continued teaching the hot series in her home studio built by her husband. She continues to teach at her studio and is looking forward to bringing her energy and knowledge to YogiBarre Fitness.

Lynn:
I have a passion for teaching, consulting and empowering people towards wellness using nine foundations of health. This includes the belief in the natural healing processes of the body and how the organ systems work together as a whole.
I incorporate functional movement and anatomy cues into my practice. I find that doing so gives my participants the tools they need to be successful both on and off the mat.
I am a wife and mom to adult children. I enjoy reading, studying, running and yoga.
