OWNER, LEAD INSTRUCTOR
My yoga journey began during a college summer internship in Denver, where I discovered how great yoga made my body and mind feel—especially as someone managing scoliosis since childhood. After many years of teaching and deepening my practice in Grand Rapids, MI, I felt called to bring that passion back to my hometown.

In March 2024, I opened Nirvana Yoga House with a vision of creating a welcoming and lighthearted space where everyone can feel empowered to explore their practice, connect with others, and, of course, flow to plenty of vibey tunes!

Aside from yoga, I love spending time with my little family and our animals, traveling, and boating or paddle boarding on our lake.

MY NIRVANA:
The sun hitting my face, the post-class Buti bliss, the view at the end of a hike.

I’m Danny, and I am so excited to move with you! Last year, I moved back to my hometown, Niles MI, after living in NYC for 11 years. While in NYC, I discovered my two passions: acting and yoga. I am fascinated by the information we store in our physical body, and how yoga and movement can be practiced to unlock that information. When I’m not on my mat, I love to travel, visit museums, see theater, and hike. If I can be outside, I am!

MY NIRVANA:
Lying under a canopy of trees and watching the sun dance through the leaves, being on stage exploring the human condition with other artists, deep belly laughs. 

I’m Caitlin and I’m SO EXCITED to be on this yoga teaching journey at Nirvana. From the moment I stepped in the studio it felt like home to me. I cannot wait to get to know each and every one of you. I completed my yoga teacher training in 2024, but I’ve been taking yoga classes on and off for around 10 years. 

Outside of yoga I am a HUGE animal lover, my husband and I have four rescue pups and I even own my own dog treat bakery! I love curling up on the couch with my pups, a good book or some type of reality tv. I love being outside or in the water. I’m definitely a true Cancer!

MY NIRVANA:
Sun out, windows down, music playing. I’m a sucker for good tunes. An early morning sunrise grounding session when the grass is cool between my toes.

I’m Kara and I am so excited to be a part of Nirvana Yoga House. I started practicing yoga over 12 years ago and it has forever changed my life! I completed my yoga teacher training in 2024 here at Nirvana. I became a yoga teacher to not only deepen my practice, but to also give me an outlet as a mom of three littles and to pursue something I am passionate about.

MY NIRVANA:
Sunsets on the lake, hugs + kisses from my three babes, live outdoor music.

I’m Abigail and I’m so happy to be a part of the Nirvana family! I’ve been practicing yoga since 2019. I completed my yoga teacher training in 2022 while I was living in Nashville, TN.

I’m so happy I found Nirvana when I moved back to Northern Indiana!

MY NIRVANA:
Sitting on the porch with a coffee and my golden retriever or hanging in a hammock near the lake with a good book. 📚

I’m Anna and I am so honored and happy to be a part of the Nirvana Yoga House team. I completed my yoga teacher training here at Nirvana in May of 2025 and have been practicing in some way, shape, or form, for over 4 years. This yoga studio is so special and near to my heart and I am beyond excited to be a part of its safe, fun, and loving environment. 

Off the mat, I’m a graduate student pursuing my masters in mental health counseling. I love to read, learn new things, and spend time in nature. 

MY NIRVANA:
Sitting near the lake, listening to the waves, soaking up the sun, with my nose in a book. I also love rainy nights in, cozied up with my two cats.

I'm Shar, and I'm thrilled to be part of the Nirvana team and community. I completed my Yoga Teacher Training here at Nirvana in May 2025, but first stumbled upon yoga in 2016 while living out in California. Through my practice, I've found a profound sense of connection and balance and it's helped me appreciate every single one of life's experiences - the triumphs and setbacks.

Off the mat, I'm very passionate about rock climbing, getting lost in a new art project, and exploring nature with my lil family.

MY NIRVANA:
Quiet, crisp mornings outside with a hot cup of coffee, late nights around a campfire, and cuddles with my little girl.

Yoga was something I was always drawn to, but I did not dive into my practice until January 2024. I completed my yoga teacher training in Bali, July 2024, and finished my Children’s and Buti Yoga certificates summer of 2025.

If I am not teaching yoga, you can find me busy teaching a classroom full of Kindergarteners. When I am not teaching, I love to read, travel, hike, garden, and spend time outside in the sun! I am beyond grateful that yoga found me. 

MY NIRVANA:
Sipping a lavender matcha while thrifting, reading a series with my black cat on my lap, soaking up the sun at the beach, dancing, walking barefoot in my grandparent’s yard, seeing my favorite artists in concert.
