Meet Hayley – The Mighty Mouse Educator Bender

Don’t let the small stature fool you—Hayley teaches a big class with an even bigger personality. Think: tiny tornado of energy with just a hint of a Napoleon complex... but, like, in the most delightful, disco-ball kind of way.

Her yoga journey began like many in 2020—deep in the YouTube rabbit hole, sticking mostly to “the easy ones” (relatable). But it was at Waves Yoga Studio in Manitowoc, in the heat and hustle of real-life classes, where things truly clicked. She built strength, confidence, and a totally new view of herself. That light led her straight to Trish and Kate (as all excellent yoga paths tend to), where she completed her 200-hour training in 2023.

Hayley’s classes walk the sweet spot between challenge and compassion. She’ll make you sweat, sure—but more importantly, she creates a soft landing space for her beloved Sunday crew. Whether you're starting or closing your week, her classes just hit right.

Expect playlists that slap (yes, you might catch yourself singing mid-chaturanga), sequencing that flows with purpose, and heartfelt reminders that showing up for yourself matters.

Off the mat, Hayley is a powerhouse in education, currently serving as a Middle School Dean of Students. Her cat thinks she’s the best mom ever. Her students think she’s just the best, period.

We agree—great things come in small, badass packages.

👐✨Let’s Talk Yoga Adjustments
(AKA: “Yes, you can touch me there.”) 😌

Contrary to popular belief, adjustments in yoga aren’t about turning you into a Cirque du Soleil contortionist or shaming you into textbook alignment.

They're actually little love notes for your nervous system.

A gentle nudge. A grounding hand. A reminder that you exist in space, and someone sees you—hips, spine, breath and all.

Sometimes it’s the teacher helping you feel a pose more deeply.

Other times it’s them reminding you, "Hey friend, your shoulders don’t live in your ears."
(We all need that reminder.)

At Soleil Lune, we offer consensual, supportive, intelligent adjustments.

No surprise grabs. No forced shapes.

Just mindful touch that helps you feel more at home in your own body.

And here’s what we really believe:
✨Adjustments should be so supportive, so attuned, that they become a part of your practice.✨

Not a correction — but a co-creation.

A moment where teacher, student, and breath become one fluid, embodied experience.

You move, they move, the room breathes with you. It’s not just alignment — it’s communion.

Because sometimes, a single well-placed hand in child’s pose feels like the hug you didn’t know you needed.

And sometimes it’s the only thing keeping you from floating away during savasana.

Come experience the magic. Come be seen, supported, and held — even if just for a breath.

📻Tune In to Tune Out🧘‍♀️

Because sometimes the only way to escape the chaos… is to fully show up for it. 😅

Look, we get it. Life is loud.

Your group texts won’t stop.

The world feels like it’s running on caffeine and cortisol.

And your brain? Basically a browser with 47 tabs open — two playing music, one definitely frozen.

Enter: Yoga.

That magical, weird, breathy space where you tune in — to your body, your breath, your inner landscape — so you can tune out the noise, the nonsense, and that weird voice in your head that keeps replaying awkward middle school memories.

It’s not about escaping reality.

It’s about remembering who you are underneath the mess.

And sometimes that means getting really quiet.

Other times it means shaking your ass in down dog while someone next to you audibly exhales their feelings.

Either way, it works. Promise.

✨So come roll out your mat. Tune in.
And watch how everything else starts to fade — just for a little while.✨

Meet Kate - Studio’s second in command

Meet Kate -
Studio’s second in command & our Teacher Training Co-Leader

While our studio owner is known as ‘the intense one’, Kate Yanke is known as ‘the nice one’.

Kate’s curious nature, ability to ask clarifying questions, and love of hospitality is what ignites her inviting, genuine, and honest teaching. While she is known as ‘the nice one’ by our students and our yoga teacher training trainees, the rest of us on our weird and fun teaching crew would chuckle, smile, and nod. We would describe Kate’s vinyasa sequencing as ‘deceptively chill’.

Kate classes are sneakily intense, giving you a deep burn while keeping you zen. You may ask yourself ‘what just happened?’ after you walk out from her classes yoga stoned. Most of the time Kate teaches with a backdrop of silence. Your breath is your rhythm as you surf your soul while engaging in her intelligent sequencing based on the energetic effect of asanas (yoga postures). When she does play music, you can bet her love of music will transform your practice into a groovy flow of stretchiness.

Kate is also a storyteller like NO OTHER. She shares her life and her teachings with transparency, honesty, and wisdom while being peppered with sarcasm, some swearing, and a whole lotta loving, supportive hands-on assists. Her classes carry you inward and invite you to explore your own inner landscape.

Kate is another 10,000-hr ERYT, YACEP, LMNOP or the f our stupid Yoga Alliance initials are supposed to be. She too is plenty QUALIFIED to teach.

Whether you deem Kate as ‘the nice one’ or ‘intense #2’ we KNOW your life will be richer and you will be kinder for it. We know, no matter what….Kate is THE GREAT!

Get BENT with her and sign up here!

📣 Schedule drop? Snooze. 😴

Let’s be real—scrolling through a static graphic isn’t interaction, it’s avoidance dressed up as “checking the schedule.”

✨ Want a better way to actually engage, commit, and—gasp—take a class?

Get the Soleil Lune app.

(Search “Soleil Lune” wherever you get your apps—don’t worry, it’s not hiding.)

💥 One tap and boom—you’ve registered, committed, and maybe even put pants on. We love that for you.

Let’s be grownups and actually plan our self-care. (Wild idea, we know.)

Why us? Because we’re wildly different—in the best way. No copy-paste classes, no robotic cues, no weird yoga cult energy. Just real people, real movement, and the occasional well-timed sarcasm.

See you on the mat. Or don’t. But like... you should.

✨ Not your grandma’s yoga training. ✨

Let’s get real: yoga isn’t about cramming Sanskrit terms or reciting poses like you’re studying for a pop quiz. Nope. It’s about awakening your soul, lighting up your whole damn being, and maybe making your cat jealous of your newfound glow. 😼🔥

Here at Soleil Lune, we’re not just churning out yoga teachers — we’re building a LEGACY. Master classes, workshops, retreats, teacher trainings, continuing ed... basically, a whole vibe that says: you were born to shine. And when you step into your light, guess what? You give everyone else permission to do the same.

Ready to stop playing small and start owning your power? This isn’t just a training — it’s your VIP invite to level up your skills, your soul, and your impact.

Forget what you think you know about Yoga Teacher Trainings… This is NOT your grandma‘s teacher training unless your grandma’s a total bad ass, in which case, cool. 😎

This is where memorization ends and embodiment begins – where you don’t just learn yoga, you live it Yes, even off the mat and in traffic.

👇🏻Ready to step into your power and shine like the glorious weirdo you are? Drop a☀️ in the comments or slide into our DM‘s for more info! ’sDoThis.

🧘‍♂️ Think all yoga studios are serene temples full of whispers, waterfalls, and tight-lipped smiles?

Yeah… not us.

Meet our weird, wonderful, barefoot, slightly-sweaty, often-sarcastic crew. We’ve been doing this for over 24 years—aka since yoga was still being confused with yogurt. We're not a fad. We’re not a franchise. We’re not flawless. And we’re definitely not faking it.

✨ We’re a community. A real one.

Not a curated-for-Instagram, matching-outfits kind of community. The kind that laughs, cries, swears a little, and still shows up anyway.
We believe yoga is a lifestyle—not just something you do between errands. It’s a practice of transformation, earned through commitment, discomfort, discovery, and showing up when you’d rather be horizontal with Netflix.

Our vibe? Equal parts sacred and salty.

We’ll talk philosophy one moment and joke about your mat being possessed the next. We believe in the healing power of sweat, connection, and a well-timed F-bomb.

🔥 Our studio is warm (literally—we keep it at a cozy 82°) and welcoming (because humans are better when they feel seen).

You won’t find trendy, turbo-speed, flash-mob yoga here. But you will find real humans, real teachings, and yes—we offer hands-on assists. (WITH consent, of course. We’re yogis, not creeps.)

We’re here to walk the path with you—warts, wisdom, and all.

We’ll challenge you, support you, and probably make you laugh during savasana (sorry in advance). Whether it’s your first class or your five-hundredth, we’ll be here, barefoot and excited to cheer you on.

So no, we’re not what you think yoga studios are.

We’re better.

Messy. Magic. Real. And ready for you.

🌀 Let’s get bent.

💬 Drop a “Namaste, weirdos” in the comments if you’re into transformation with a side of sarcasm.

🖤To the Injured Yogis Who Still Show Up🖤
(And to the teachers who try not to look too concerned)

You limped in, wrapped in KT tape and vibes, maybe clutching an ice pack or nursing a mystery pain with a side of stubbornness — and honestly? We love that for you.

Because here’s the thing: yoga isn’t just for the bendy and unbroken.

At Soleil Lune, we know sometimes you come not to move, but to be in the room, soak up the energy, and remind yourself you're still whole — even when parts of you are on the struggle bus.
We don’t shame stillness here. We don’t question your choice to lie on your mat in reclined goddess for the entire class. (Honestly, we’re jealous.) We get that healing isn’t linear — and that sometimes just being in a space where breath is happening and people are being kind to their bodies is the medicine.

To the injured students who come for the energy, not the effort: You’re doing yoga.
To the teachers who welcome them without panic or pity: You’re doing it right.

Let’s keep making space for bodies in all phases — not just the pain-free, performance-ready ones. Because yoga doesn’t start when you’re “better.” Yoga starts now.

✨Dear Pregnant Yogis and the Teachers Who Pretend Not to Panic✨

To the badass humans growing entire organs and people while still making it to yoga: We see you. You’re literally building life while doing cat-cow — which is honestly the most hardcore multitasking imaginable.

And to the teachers? Breathe. You don’t need a doula certification to teach a pregnant student. You just need presence, curiosity, and maybe the good sense to not cue deep twists or say “just listen to your body” (because her body is currently building a spleen. She's a little busy).
At Soleil Lune, we don’t shove pregnant students into the back corner or hand them a bolster like a consolation prize. We welcome them into the room like the divine, resilient forces they are — with real options, actual modifications, and zero side-eye when they take Child’s Pose... for 20 minutes.

Pregnancy in yoga isn’t a problem to solve — it’s a powerful season to honor, make space for, and maybe even laugh through when baby kicks mid-Savasana.

So let’s ditch the fear, cue with compassion, and embrace the sacred weirdness of pregnancy. You won’t break her. She won’t break you. But someone will cry — and that’s also yoga.

Meet Beth—our resident mind bender

Worried about traversing your inner landscape? No worries needed. As an almost retired “MINDBENDER,” Beth’s analytical skills are perfect for making yoga as much about inner flexibility as anything else. Oh, and did we mention her delightfully sarcastic sense of humor? It’s a perfect match to our darkly hilarious SLYC crew. It also doesn’t hurt that her extensive 30+ year career in mental health was leading groups and individuals toward change and subsequent growth Are you ready for change?? What about growth?

Beth does not claim to be the bendiest or most experienced of all the instructors at SLYC, but she will laugh and/or cry with you through the mess and glory you’ll find on your mat. She is passionate and dedicated to her people….need we say more?! She expertly holds sacred space for transformation and believes in the power of the breath to change our brain so we can experience a more peaceful life!

Beth guides her students to accomplish something internally each and every practice, through intention. Even when the accomplishment is just in showing up to class, rest assured Beth will be the first one to say Right On, Yogi.

Beth doesn’t really care what age you or she is or what your/her physical stature is - she’s just glad you showed up for yourself! In her classes you’ll experience new adventures with the same zealousness that permeated her drive to build her mental health clinics— filled with creative solutions and compassion.

Come join (Dr.) Beth Johnson for an authentic and soul searching exploration of your inner world.

Beth currently teaches Mondays @ 9am & Tuesdays @ 6pm.

It’s a wild ride you don’t want to miss!!

✨ You can’t teach what you haven’t embodied. Not fully. Not honestly.

Yoga philosophy isn’t just something to memorize for a final exam. It’s something to live into.

It’s how we sit with discomfort.

How we listen before speaking.

How we move through the world—with integrity, curiosity, and compassion.

When we root our teaching in philosophy, we begin to offer something richer than choreography.

We offer presence.

We offer practice.

We offer truth.

🪷 If you feel the call to align your teaching with something deeper—something ancient and steady—we're here for it. Our 300-hour training will guide you into the heart of yoga’s wisdom so that what you share comes from the inside out.

Because your voice as a teacher is sacred. Let it be soul-fed.

We start in September. Give us an ALIGN in the comments for details.

☀️Easy Like Sunday Morning… But Make It Yogic☀️

You know that "Easy Like Sunday Morning" vibe? Yeah. That's basically the unofficial theme song of non-attachment, presence, and not losing your mind over things you can’t control.
(Also, Lionel Richie was clearly onto some yogic truths, just sayin’.)

In yoga philosophy, we talk a lot about Santosha — contentment.

Not the fake-smile-and-tolerate-everything kind.

We mean actual peace.

Like “I’m not gonna spiral just because my to-do list looks like a CVS receipt” peace.

Like “I’m here, I’m breathing, my hips are tight, and that’s just life today” kind of peace.

That’s Sunday Morning Energy — and it's sacred.

It’s soft effort. Gentle awareness. The kind of practice where you stop performing and start being.

It’s the reminder that rest is revolutionary, and sometimes savasana is the most advanced pose you’ll take all week.

So the next time your brain tries to convince you that you have to hustle your way to worthiness — pause, breathe, and channel your inner Lionel.

Because yoga isn’t just chaturangas and fancy binds.

It’s waking up slow, moving like you love yourself, and realizing you don’t have to fix everything to be whole.

Come flow with us. Be a little messy. Breathe a little deeper.

✨Get you some of that Sunday Morning state of mind — with Hayley at 9am every Sunday.✨
