Colleen is a former professional competitive bodybuilder with an extensive background in fitness. A NASM certified personal trainer and group fitness instructor, Colleen has continually sought out the opportunity to share her passion for fitness. 

In 2013, the physical stress of years in the gym drew Colleen to seek out something to heal her body and regain some flexibility and mobility lost through years of heavy weight training. It was at that point that she discovered yoga and immediately fell in love with it. The physicality of the practice that initially enticed her opened the door for the spirituality and mental balance that the practice provided and her passion grew, as did her desire to share this with others.

​

This drove her to earn her 200 RYT in 2015, later earning her E-RYT 500 in 2019. Additionally, Colleen is certified in Aerial Yoga, Y12SR (yoga for 12 step recovery), Yin Yoga, TRX for Yoga, Yoga Shred (inspired by Sadie Nardini), meditation and Gravity Yoga.
 

In September 2022, Colleen felt called to open her own space, Roots Yoga and Fitness. Colleen's mantra, “Growth Starts Here," applies not only to our growth physically, mentally and spiritually, but our growth as a community as well.

You can find Colleen teaching a variety of classes throughout the week and she is available for private and semi-private instruction, as well as personal training sessions.​​
