Krissy Zegers (RYT, CYT, TAP) came to yoga to balance her life. She had been practicing yoga for about eight years before she walked into Midwest Power Yoga in Appleton, WI where she fell in love with the Baptiste style. Since that day her life has changed in a variety of ways. The practice has brought and continues to bring so much to her life; it has opened her heart to being present and taught her what it really means to live.

Krissy completed her Teacher Training at Midwest Power Yoga in April 2008 and experienced Baron Baptiste's Level 1 teacher training in August 2008. She opened the De Pere studio immediately following Level 1. After Level 2 in June 2009, she decided to be true to herself and change the studio name from Midwest Power Yoga to Z Power Yoga. Krissy is currently on her path to become a Certified Baptiste Instructor.

Krissy loves to watch her students unlock their inner child and play in class. She encourages them to find new pieces of themselves and just breathe. Krissy believes that everyone can do yoga, but everyone's practice may look different. Krissy strives to make yoga accessible for everyone.

Krissy is supported through everything in life by her family, friends and especially her husband Pat.

Deb Sampson (CYT, RYT, TAP) Baptiste Certified Instructor. Deb found yoga in 2005 at Midwest Power Yoga a Baptiste Studio. She was immediately hooked. Finding this practice has changed her life, physically, mentally and spiritually. It has opened her heart to a new way of being, open to change and the courage to act on it. She left the corporate world in 2008 to teach yoga and go back to school for Massage Therapy. She has never been so at peace with herself than right now. Yoga has helped her find not only herself but a path in which she can share with others this wonderful gift we have inside ourselves, the power, strength and courage to be who we are. She is excited to combine both massage and yoga into her practice.

Deb has trained with Debbie Williamson and Baron Baptiste completing both Level 1 and Level 2 Teacher Training Boot camps with Baron. It is both an honor and a great accomplishment to a be a Certified Baptiste Power Vinaysa Teacher.

She teaches a challenging and uplifting asana practice that benefits students long after they have left the mat. Utilizing experiences from life to illustrate what we learn on the mat can apply to our daily life.

Erin Yanke (RYT, CYT, CTA) fell in love with the Baptiste style of power yoga over four years ago. Since then, she has immersed herself in yoga and created a new balance in her life. Erin has internalized the philosophy of yoga and her practice has taught her to live in the present and stay strong even when things get challenging. She also finds yoga valuable because it benefits the practitioner physically, mentally and spiritually, and she brings all of these aspects to her teaching.

Erin completed vinyasa teacher training with Deborah Williamson in December of this last year and began teaching immediately. She aspires to complete Level 1 and Level 2 teacher training boot camps with Baron Baptiste in the next two years
