Elle Allen
Elle returned to a yoga practice in 2006. Shortly thereafter she noticed her chronic experience of a stiff neck stopped occurring, her feet were no longer sore, she felt taller and stronger. Yoga also released deep pent- up emotions that lightened her from the inside out. Elle's teaching style encourages participants to deeply connect mind, body, and breath for a gentle and profoundly mindful experience.
Mary Mullett
Mary took her 200hr RYT training through Yogafit. She came to yoga after 30+ years of running, needing to stretch and re-center and balance, literally and figuratively. She enjoys teaching gentler styles of yoga. Per Mary ”Breathing and care in alignment is the foundation of the practice. I try to integrate this into my classes, because one needs to build poses from the bottom up and from the inside out. Yoga also allows calming of the mind and finding the present moment. I want yoga to be fun for you! I don’t want you to say, “I can’t do that” or,” I’m not flexible”, or “I can’t touch my toes”…it really doesn’t matter, you do what you can! No expectations and no pressure. Often my classes change, depending on who walks in the door. I often ask what you need and we go from there."

Jen Wall
Jenn Holm owner
Yoga found Jenn Holm, Owner of Yoga 4 You, in March of 2003. It began as a way to restore flexibility and get in shape, but after experiencing a wave of emotion while in half pigeon pose, she realized there was much more to “this yoga thing” than simply exercising. As her practice evolved, the mental and emotional benefits of yoga followed. It became apparent that the work on the mat was applicable off the mat as well, in every aspect of our lives. As this realization became clear, so did her desire to bring the experience to others and she decided to become a certified yoga instructor. Then diving deeper, she partnered with Kelly Larson and Wendy Waibel to open Yoga 4 You in 2009. It has been an amazing journey!
Jenn is available for private or semiprivate lessons and many different types of special events. Please contact her for information.
Marcia Rienhardt
In 2011, Marcia started taking a class at week at Yoga 4 You to add some "stretching” to her cardio/weight lifting routine. There she fell in love. She took more classes varying the types. In the summer of 2017, Marcia became a RYT-200 Certified Yoga Instructor through training at Green Lotus Yoga & Healing Center adding Yoga Sculpt training that fall. Marcia eventually moved to Duluth, but you can still find her leading all the early morning virtual classes, as well as in-person workshops and events when she comes through town. And she also remains the Facebook and Instagram diva for Yoga 4 You!

Christopher Crowhurst
Christopher fell in love with yoga at Yoga 4 You and has been practicing intensely since 2015. Along with his wife Jacquelyn, Christopher completed his 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training at the studio in 2019. His favorite practice is a flowing vinyasa style, with a focus on the Ashtanga sequences, postures and alignment. Christopher is most happy when afloat and enjoys connecting people's yoga practice with their daily physical needs, especially kayaking.
Carolyn Gross
As an athlete and lover of high intensity workouts, it took only a few yoga classes for Carolyn to realize the benefits of slowing down, looking inward, and focusing on her breath. Carolyn is always up for a challenge so she jumped into power teacher training and now she cannot remember what life was like before yoga! Carolyn loves introducing yoga and barre to those who are not yet familiar and tries to make these accessible to people of all abilities. When she's not on her mat, Carolyn enjoys drinking coffee on her deck, playing volleyball with her husband, and walking her American Bulldog.
Kristi Broom
Kristi is relatively new to yoga, having practiced for the past 8 years or so, but has always known that she wanted to be an instructor, as her day job has always involved teaching, presentation, and coaching others. She started her yoga teacher training journey in 2020 and was thrilled to complete the esteemed RYT program at Yoga 4 You in May 2021. She has been leading classes at Yoga 4 You since September 2021.
Jacquelyn Crowhurst
Jacquelyn’s love for yoga grew out of a way to get exercise, while joining her husband, Christopher, in something he was passionate about. Through classes, teacher training and various yoga retreats, Jacquelyn has experienced a variety of different types of yoga practices and not only discovered, but truly appreciates that there is so much more to yoga than exercise. In her personal practice, Jacquelyn enjoys Flowing Strength, hot yoga, “sleepy time yoga”, meditation and alignment focused practices. She completed her RYT200 hour training under Jenn Holm and Carolyn Gross at Yoga 4 You in Savage, MN. Jacquelyn and her husband, Christopher, guide practices at kayaking events and have created a couples focused workshop. Jacquelyn leads vinyasa practices at Yoga 4 You in Savage.
