She began teaching in 2022, focusing on the 26 & 2 series. Since teaching her first class, she has found great joy in helping students feel their best and challenge themselves. Personally, her own practice continues to shift, grow and deepen each time she steps on her mat!

Natasha Moore
Natasha began teaching yoga in 2020, specializing in the traditional Hot 26&2 and dynamic Vinyasa styles. She loves the mental and physical challenge these practices offer and is passionate about guiding students to achieve something new in their practice, whether through deeper alignment, increased strength, or personal breakthroughs. Her classes focus on creating a supportive and encouraging space for all bodies to grow.
Outside the studio, Natasha enjoys spending time outdoors with her two golden retrievers and family. Whether hiking, exploring nature, or simply soaking in the fresh air, she finds balance and inspiration in the great outdoors.

Sandra first wandered into the hot room in 2015 seeking to destress from a rigid study schedule. She has been leading hot sculpt since 2022 and enjoys the balance between mind and body that she finds in practice, as well as the opportunity, as a teacher, to push students further into their own potential.

Katie Slatzer
Hey there! My name is Katie. I am so excited to be on this journey with you and to be teaching in my hometown. A little bit about me… I was born and raised here in Powell then graduated from Otterbein University with a degree in nursing with minors in leadership studies and nutrition. In my core I am an ER nurse; working in the ER sparked my interest in preventative care. I’m passionate about helping others work towards being the version of themselves they want to be through health and wellness. My love of yoga and Pilates along with the heated room started in 2020 and I’ve been hooked ever since! I’ve been teaching Inferno Hot Pilates since the fall of 2022 and recently added on a Mat Pilates. I’m looking forward to meeting the community of Union Yoga and getting to know you more!

Christiana Whitesel
Hi, I’m Christiana. When I was little I wanted to be a ballerina but instead I got into gymnastics. In college I took my first yoga class and since then I found my way to heated yoga, barre, and Pilates. I enjoy movement of all forms and hope to encourage others to find movement that feels good to them. See you in the hot room! :)
