Candy McClelland, RYT -

Sports
and Fitness have always been a part of Candys life. She has been a group exercise
instructor for 22 years; teaching resistance, choreographed and boot camp style classes.
Tom Jacobs introduced her to yoga in 2000 while she was recovering from knee surgery. She
learned how yoga addressed the whole person - physically, spiritually, mentally and
socially. She saw such benefits as overall strength in the core, flexibility in the back,
better posture, better digestion, greater range of motion in the joints and great muscle
definition in the arms, legs, back and shoulders. She fell in love with yoga and wanted to
learn more and how she could share it with others. She received her 200-hr RYT
certification through YogaFit in 2009 and is currently working on her 500-hr. Candy enjoys
teaching a physically challenging class by incorporating light weights into a yoga pump
class or pilates core class. She also shares the spiritual side of yoga by adding a sutra
or one of the yamas or niyamas during savasana. Candy has her AFAA personal
training certification and owns Whole Body Fitness where she incorporates yoga into her
clients workouts. Candy has a BS degree in Business and an MBA and Computer Science
masters degrees. She is married with two children and two dogs. Her hobbies are
teaching yoga, traveling, sailing, reading, cooking and spending time with her family.

Lisa Sewalson -

|
Having
been a fitness instructor for close to fifteen years now, her qualifications almost have
no limits. She is AAA/ISMA certified in Yoga, Pilates, Kickboxing, Step Aerobics, Spin,
and Water Aerobics. Lisa is a PACE certified instructor as well as having been certified
through the Kansas City Arthritis Foundation, and has also received her certification as a
Mind, Body Personal Trainer. But ask any one of her many students and they will tell you
that it is Lisas heart for God and people that keep them coming back to class.
Raised in small town Washington, Kansas, Lisas heritage is one where family comes
first in line right after Jesus Christ. Her loyalty to those around her and her passion to
help others bring balance into their own lives permeates the atmosphere at Lisas
classes. Having personally made the grueling journey from injury and illness to health and
fitness, Lisas struggle to stay positive and patient while she worked through the
challenges of her own broken back left her with a deep compassion and understanding for
those who have any physical limitations and injuries to overcome of their own. God gave me
great friends who gave me the support that I truly needed. I just hope and pray that I can
be that for someone else as they struggle. That is my greatest desire and where I believe
God wants me at this time in my life, says Lisa. More than an instructor, Lisa is a
caregiver and a friend to all who come to know her through her classes. Lisa is also the
mother of two teenage children and a glossy brown Boxer named Sadie who sits beside her in
her car like a human being
maybe you have seen them pass you on Mur-Len? With
no nonsense, no competition, and no judgment

Sue Park -
I have been in the fitness world all my life. I love the way
the body works and what it can do when put to the test. After many years of dabbling in
running, cycling, swimming, kickboxing, aerobics, (you name it, I did it), I realized how
important to have my body in balance, physically, mentally and spiritually. I first began
practicing martial arts and then was introduced to yoga in about 1999. When I really fell
in love with yoga was with my first teacher, Genvieve, in Ashtanga. I loved the way my
body felt when practicing and once I learned the ujjayi breath, wow! Ive
been a teacher in the fitness world for over 25 years and adding yoga to the mix was a
natural transition. I have four children, 2 girls and 2 boys, between the ages 7 and 15.
While raising my children, teaching and practicing gave me an open pathway to grow
personally. I love my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and I live my life in service to Him.
This love for Him translates to my love for His people and I love serving YOU! See you in
class! |

Jim Graham RYT -

I began practicing yoga at 54 years old. I have been an avid participant
of sports all my life and experienced a succession of injuries. I have had
injuries of the knees, elbows, neck, ankles, feet, pulled and stained
muscles along with chronic tension in neck and shoulders. I began practicing yoga
when I could not overcome some of these injuries through medical help or message therapy.
Within the first few minutes that I followed instruction on a yoga DVD I felt
relief I had not felt in a long time. I continued to practice yoga on my own for
about six months. I was embarrassed to attend a class believing I was too stiff and
uncoordinated. After attending my first class I was hooked because
of how much better I felt physically and mentally. I have practiced yoga
consistently since attending my first class.
I decided to become a yoga instructor to help bring the benefits I have enjoyed to
other students. After a few years of practice I am stronger, more flexible,
have better joint health, and essentially pain free. Yoga is the only physical
activity I have found that helps me become more healthy while avoiding and healing
injuries. I continue to practice yoga along with playing sports I enjoy.
There are so many health, physical and mental benefits of practicing yoga that I have just
begun to learn. I also enjoy the friendships I have made with other instructors and
the positive interaction with our students. I look forward to expand my teaching
skills at New Day Yoga studio and create a positive experience for the students. |

Gretchen Conn -

My first
experience with yoga was back in 2000 when I began taking classes from Sumya Anani. Over
the next several years, I took classes at several yoga studios in the area, as well as
classes outside the area when traveling. I finally landed at New Day Yoga in 2008. I feel
that exposure to a variety of yoga styles, as well as a variety of instructional styles,
makes for a well rounded practice. I look forward to expanding my knowledge of yoga along
with sharing my discoveries of this ancient tradition with my students. In addition to
teaching yoga, I also work as a registered nurse. The anatomy, physiology and body
mechanics that I learned during nursing school, and use daily in my current nursing
practice, have translated very well in my yoga practice both as a student and teacher.
I am currently working on my Hatha yoga and 200 hour Yoga Alliance certifications
through Temple of Kriya Yoga in Chicago. Once this goal is achieved, I plan to pursue a
yoga therapy certification.
I earned my associates degree in nursing from Johnson County Community College. I also
have a B.S. in accounting which I earned from Ball State University. I am currently a
member of the American Holistic Nurses Association. |

Amelia Dvorak - Hot yoga is my passion! My yoga experience began over 5 years ago in
California with Bikram Yoga. After experiencing the life changing benefits of hot yoga, I
knew I wanted it in my life in a bigger way. Fall 2007, I became a certified instructor in
the Bikram Yoga Method. Since then, I have continued to teach and witness many mind/body
transformations. Utilizing a Bikram Method foundation, I teach a positive and energetic
class benefiting both your mind and body. It is an honor to share that with as many
students as possible.
Breath. Prana. The life force. Connecting to the breath and
controlling the breath is the most important factor in living a happy and healthy life. In each of my classes I will help you get
connected and master your breath. This is the most important step in getting connected to
your mind and body. I also offer private lessons by appointment. Please share with me your
goals and intentions. My pleasure is in helping you succeed! See you in class! |

Gloria Hsu -
Gloria came to Yoga through the encouragement of her mother
10 years ago to help her overcome hyperactive thyroid disease, which may have been
triggered by the of stress of competing and performing as a classical pianist for years.
Miraculously, without further medication, the continual practice of Yoga has helped her
thyroid stay calm and has benefited all aspects of her life. Since then, Gloria's
continued to evolve and grow through practicing different styles of Yoga.
Gloria's completed 200-hr of Yoga Alliance Registered Teacher Training in Prana Flow Yoga
at Kansas Siddhi Yoga under Gina Caputo, and is currently working toward her 500- hr.
She's studied Ashtanga and Vinyasa flow yoga with Sue Ko, who encouraged Gloria to teach
Yoga, and continues to be one of her main teachers. With a degree in piano performance,
she finds the connections between music and yoga. She loves how Yoga has helped her
overcome her fears, challenges and brings inner focus and awarenesses. The more she finds,
the more eager she is to share the discoveries with her family, friends and community |
