Owner of Release Studio

Yogi Roo has been a yoga teacher, studio owner (Release Studio), and workshop instructor in Denver, CO for many years. She first developed her interest in health and nutrition while studying to be an engineer in college. While being drawn to more aggressive sports like soccer and marathons, Roo initially thought that yoga wasn’t challenging or fast-paced enough. Man, was she freakin’ wrong!

After school, Roo realized she was setting up her life’s goals based on someone else’s standards. She moved to Colorado and met a community of people who instigated a rapid shift in her life. She discovered teachers who made her think, reflect and question; teachers who touched her soul while kicking her ass. She was deeply inspired by the Burner Community and wanted to learn a skill she could share with them.

Roo discovered how nice it was to be in touch with her thoughts and body; how awesome it was to feel her body in slow motion, exploring her “edge” continually (both physically and emotionally). After her major life shift, Roo sought refuge in yoga. She needed space to be gentle and have time to reflect. 

With the guidance of Christen Bakken and Katy Rowe at The River, Roo says that “yoga broke me open.”

It was tough; it was healing; it was empowering; it was liberating. 

Roo’s mission is to provide a space for her yogis to lighten their load and support one another. She hopes to provide a safe place for people to explore and push themselves to grow.

Let’s share the lightness, heal ourselves and heal each other.
