Meghan Shannon

Hi! I'm Meghan and I'm stoked to be joining the Öken team. I started my Pilates journey in high school by going to class with my mom and re-discovered Pilates following an injury in 2021 that changed the way I could work out and it has truly changed my life. I started my comprehensive Pilates certification in 2023 because I wanted to provide others with the same amazing experience I had in re-finding my strength and understanding my body and how it moves in a deeper way. In my class you'll find a constant rotation of 2000s hits (Rihanna makes any class better!), a lot of fun core series (your core is the powerhouse of the body!!) and a big emphasis on options and progressions- I want you to be able to work towards any goals you may have. 

Amanda Hirth

Amanda’s relationship with yoga began as curiosity with the physical practice, only to deepen as a profound connection after years of pouring effort onto the mat. Yoga became a sanctuary for Amanda, a place where she’s found potent transformation, healing, and empowerment. As a disciplined student and passionate teacher, Amanda’s classes are grounding yet expansive, weaving together yogic philosophy with tangible, embodied experience. Expect thoughtful sequencing, empowering strength, and an atmosphere that feels intentional yet humble.

A creative at heart, she is also the owner of a health-focused café and kombucha brewery, where her passion for holistic living and cultivating meaningful community extends beyond the mat.

With an authentic presence and steady, grounding energy, Alissa creates space for students to slow down, reconnect, and explore their inner landscape. She encourages her students to embrace yoga not simply as a practice on the mat, but as a joyful and intentional way of living.

Serena K.

For Serena, yoga is less about getting a pose right and more about what you discover on the way there. She's a Denver yoga teacher and photographer with 14 years of teaching experience, and the founder of Hey! Let's Yoga, a community that grew from virtual classes in 2020 into five seasons of lakeside yoga at Sloan's Lake. Currently completing her Katonah Yoga training, she brings its blend of geometry, metaphor, and thoughtful hands-on assists to classes rooted in Vinyasa, Hatha, and Yin, where familiar poses start to feel brand new. A teacher's teacher at heart, she supports students and fellow instructors alike with compassion, humor, and plenty of dad jokes, and her greatest joy is sharing those AHA moments when body and mind finally click.

Ramona Mansour

A 500-hour certified yoga teacher with a background in nursing, Ramona approaches yoga as an exploration of consciousness through the body, energy in motion, and relationship with the divine.

Through asana, pranayama and meditation, Ramona invites students to move with intention, curiosity, and explore what happens when awareness meets authentic expression. Her teaching weaves together spiritual exploration and physical vitality, encouraging students to deepen their connection with themselves and one another while building strength and mobility.

Angie Woyar

Kendall Brajevich

Yoga has taught me that growth and healing begin from within and that we all carry a light worth nurturing. As a certified Hatha and Vinyasa yoga instructor and somatic breathwork practitioner, I bring over a decade of study, practice, and exploration to my teachings. My approach weaves together mind, body, and breath, using intentional movement and conscious breathing as tools to regulate our nervous system, cultivate inner balance, and feel rooted in our bodies and centered in our minds.

As a teacher, I aim to create a space where students feel supported in exploring, growing, and nourishing the relationship we have with ourselves. In my class you can expect an embodied, yet playful practice paired with plenty of good tunes. I’m so grateful to be here!

Katie Haws

I'm Katie, a Milwaukee native E-RYT 500 yoga teacher with over 11 years of teaching experience. I specialize in creating thoughtfully designed, creatively sequenced classes that help students build strength, confidence, and a deeper connection to themselves. 

My intention is to make yoga feel accessible and empowering for all folks, whether you're stepping onto the mat for the first time or deepening an established practice. I believe mindful movement is a powerful tool for cultivating self-awareness, resilience, and a meaningful connection between mind and body.

Above all, I'm a lifelong student, continually learning, growing, and sharing a practice that has profoundly shaped my own life. My hope is that every student leaves feeling a little more grounded, empowered, and at home in themselves!

Amanda Pierce

As a holistic hairstylist and yoga teacher, I believe true beauty begins within and radiates outward. After experiencing firsthand how yoga transformed my life, I received my Yoga Teacher Certification so I could share its beautiful impact with others.

I love teaching Yin Yoga and Vinyasa Flow, offering a balance of stillness, movement, and mindful connection. I believe that making intentional time to slow down, breathe, and be present is one of the most meaningful ways we can care for ourselves.

My intention is to create a welcoming space for you to reconnect with yourself, find balance, and nourish your mind, body, and soul.
