Kyle’s love for movement originated in the hot Arizona desert where she played soccer and swam competitively. As she grew out of playing organized sports, she began to explore different avenues of movement. Her first introduction to yoga was while living in San Francisco and she instantly felt a deep connection. She continued to pursue her new passion while living in New York City. The calming effects of yoga and meditation helped to alleviate some stress of living in a big city. In the last seven years she has trained with inspirational teachers in New York City, Costa Rica and all over California with over 400 registered hours.
​
Kyle has enthusiastically jumped down the rabbit hole of holistic living and is also a Certified Massage Therapist where she is constantly learning new modalities and techniques. As she has come to the realization that this world is full of opportunity to feel happy and healthy, she feels even more inspired to share her knowledge and open mindedness to help the Fresno community feel better in their bodies, mentally and physically.
​
Kyle’s many other passions include cooking, her twelve-year-old pitbull – Fanny, traveling and exploring new places with her lover and being in nature. Kyle believes life is all about being surrounded by good people and loving with no condition.

Hi! I’m Kathleen Spain. I have been practicing yoga at Blue Moon for over 7 years. Blue Moon is my home away from home. The studio provides a place of peace, community, and classes that push me to be stronger and more diligent in my yoga practice. I have been married for 24 years to my best friend, Matt. We have 3 children, Rachel – 20, Ryan – 18, and Dylan – 15.   Inferno Hot Pilates is a great addition to the class schedule. I am so excited for everyone to be inspired, to sweat, to work hard, and to feel great!!

If funny, weird, and warm are traits that you hold in high regard then Izzy is the teacher for you. His class carries a steady pace that focuses on slowing the thoughts, lifting the spirit, and bringing awareness to proper body alignment throughout practice. He’s a firm believer that a healthy practice is one that focuses on inner healing through inner strengthening of the body- moving with emotions and thought, alongside the flow of breath and body, rather than suppression or confrontation. After receiving an inspired dream pointing to move to NYC, this Fresno native packed up and spent 3 years being tried and tested under the crafting hands of the Big Apple. A barista by trade, it was there Izzy experienced yoga for the first time and ultimately fell in love with the centering practice that forever changed the course of his life. He completed his 200 hour Hot Vinyasa YT in May of 2017 while in Brooklyn, and well, the rest is just a quiet journey back home to share yoga with the warm foothills of Fresno.

Christine’s commitment to yoga began in 2010 during her days as a runner, and through the years her practice has been critical in helping her with stress relief and anxiety. It’s because of her journey with this practice and love for wanting to help others, she wanted to become an instructor.  Whether you’re taking one of her 26+2 or #infernohotpilates classes, you’ll be treated to fun music during your experience.
Christine is a Southern California native who is now proud to call Fresno ‘home’. After 12 years in television news, she has ‘retired’ to focus on her health and other things that make her happy.  When she isn’t at the studio, you can find her spending time with her (fellow Blue Moon yogi) husband, Marquese, and their 2 furbabies.  She’s also proud to be the Fresno Grizzlies’ first ever female game-day emcee. What she loves most about teaching at Blue Moon is being a part of a stellar teaching staff and among a group of dedicated and inspiring yogis.

She practiced at her first hot yoga studio in May of 2015 and soon after became a 200 RYT in August of 2015. She loves the physical challenge, mental clarity, and emotional balance that yoga offers. Beija is preparing to pursue a career as a physical therapist and she hopes to integrate traditional modalities with yoga to encourage holistic and long-lasting wellness. Her classes are creative and designed to allow students to feel empowered to connect within, be authentic, and feel full of vitality and bliss.
