Carly Warner

Owner/LMT/RYT

I have found healing in my life from the benefits of Yoga and Massage Therapy.  After running for several years I started to develop a sciatic nerve and piriformis issue that made it almost impossible to run.  Through a dedicated yoga practice and receiving massage therapy every two weeks I have been able to start running again in small distances.  I am grateful for the healing that I have received from yoga and massage on all levels of mind, body, and spirit.  I find great joy and satisfaction from providing the same service to my clients and friends as well as a space of peace, greater awareness, and the opportunities for people in our community to create healing.   

My Personal Mission:

Through divinity and inspiration I empower all to create balance, transformation, healing and spiritual peace. 

Mekayla Warner

Co Owner/Studio Manager

I have enjoyed working in customer service for 9 years and being in management for 6. I love working with people, so the communication I get to have and the relationships I build every day with our clients and students is what makes me love my job. 

I feel very fortunate to be able to work with my mom who is not only my partner at work but one of my best friends.

When I am not at the studio I am with my friends or family hiking, snowshoeing, rock climbing, traveling, or finding something new to try. 

I know that when you step into Cradle Your Soul you will feel comfortable, accepted, and peace.

Love and Light to all.

I am a high school student and I’ve just started my first job at Cradle Your Soul. I have previously volunteered at the Aquarium and the best part of it was meeting all the different types of people. At Cradle Your Soul I am able to meet new people, create new connections, and enhance my life interactively. And although I am naturally a little reserved, working here has helped me grow out of my comfort zone in a non-pressured and relaxing way. My friends would describe me as an ecstatic person that’s filled with laughter, and I’d like to think that as true. I love music and in my free time I love to play piano, go out with my friends and play volleyball with my team, whom I see as my second family.

I became a Massage Therapist because of my love for massage. I started getting body work while I was still in high school, and I realized how much it decreased my stress and made me feel better.

I graduated from UCMT in 2013, and quickly got a job doing what I love and I’ve been working consistently ever since! I am a very compassionate and sympathetic person and I love helping people feel better. When I’m not working I am spending time with my world; my husband of 15 years and my two kids. I love animals, being outdoors, the beach, traveling, and eating delicious food.

Tiffanie Dansie

My yoga journey began over 10 years ago in Geneva, Switzerland, while I was working for the World Health Organization, when a friend and colleague invited me to join a yoga class she was teaching during lunch. I was hooked! I knew this was what my body needed and my body loved it! 

A few years into practicing, I started toying with the idea of becoming certified to be a yoga teacher. Five years later, and half a world away, it finally happened, while I was living in Colombia. 

In 2012 I certified as a Holistic Health Coach through IIN, which encompassed everything I believed about health and wellness needing to be integrated through the emotional, energetic, spiritual and physical aspects of our being. Since then, I have continued to study and learn many tools that a I now include in my physical, mental, and emotional wellness toolbox, including; The Emotional Journey, Louise Hay's Heal your Life, Reiki, IDEAL Life Innergy and The Child Validation Process, as well as Yoga.

I am thrilled to be teaching yoga once again and look forward to opportunities to share many of the things I have learned along the way, and most particularly to help others succeed in their desire for total health and wellness.

Melanie Stanley

Melanie’s yoga journey began about five years ago. One day she decided to take a yoga class instead of hopping on an elliptical. After that first class, she knew yoga would be a part of her life forever. Melanie connected to yoga immediately, completely, with her mind body and spirit. Two months later she was lying in savasana, feeling amazing and compelled to share that feeling with others. Teaching yoga is her dream. Melanie has a passion for yoga, based around compassion. She believes, listening to your body and having kindness for oneself is the key. Melanie believes if you take care of yourself, physically and mentally, you have more to give to others. Melanie also believes you are never too old to start a new journey. Melanie has completed her 200 hour yoga certification and holds 100 hour Dharana  Method mediation and CPR/ AED certifications. Melanie loves to try any style of yoga, from the lighthearted Glow Yoga and Goat Yoga to Kundalini, Restorative, Ashtanga, and Hot Yoga. When Melanie’s not on her yoga mat, she is spending time reading, traveling with her husband, talking to her two adult sons or cuddling with her three dogs.

Terra Davis

My yoga journey began while I was pregnant with my youngest son.  I intended that yoga to help make pregnancy more comfortable, easier for me. I came away finding deeper connection with my own body and with the world around me.  My personal practice has evolved from the vigorous power yoga to a more balanced approach, searching for the alignment that creates length and ease, supporting the developing strength yoga poses offer.  I have obtained both the 200 and 500-hour RYT certificates and have been teaching for about 10 years.  I have devoted the last 4 years to teaching yoga at a high school; balancing their energy and my love of yoga has been a great challenge.  I honor each person’s individual approach to yoga and life as we work within the confines of a yoga mat, a block, a blanket, a strap, searching for the sweet spot of ease and steadiness in everything.

Lacey Brumley

Lacey loves to study and practice all types of yoga, you could say she is a bit obsessed! However, her love affair with yoga did not start out that way... she actually avoided it for close to ten years. She always had a reason or excuse not to try it: not flexible, don't understand the reason for the poses, rather be doing an "intense" workout and burning major calories, etc. In early 2018 her sister was taking a yoga teacher training and talked her into practicing at home every day for weeks, it was hard but she was loving it! She couldn't put her finger on why or how but she was changing. Not just physically but spiritually, emotionally, and the way she felt about herself as well. She says she felt "connected" in a way she never had before. She soon started practicing in studios (CYS being one of her first and a place she felt safe) because she wanted MORE! Then in May of 2019 she completed her own 200 hour YTT. Through her practice and self-study she has overcome decades long struggles with eating disorders and addiction. She has found a deep love and compassion for herself, others, and life that she didn't know existed. She is so excited to be able to teach and share her love of yoga with you! Namaste!
