Meet Our Instructors

Yoga classes and workshops offered at Mystic Meadows Yoga Studio are led by trained certified yoga instructors. A certified yoga instructor has completed at least 200-hours of yoga training to learn yoga techniques and postures; yoga philosophy, history, ethics and lifestyle; human anatomy and physiology; proper alignment and adjustments; and safe methods of teaching yoga.

Teaching style and tradition may vary from teacher to teacher. We encourage students to explore new styles of teaching and benefit from the lessons of multiple teachers.

Lex Stuck

"Hey, I'm Lex. I like to teach all styles of yoga and my absolute favorite classes are vinyasa flows and yin. I focus on cueing to safely move your bodies through the physical practice while reminding yogis that there are all ways to practice yoga. I strive to provide a space where all body types and levels feel welcome.

I started practicing yoga after a very stressful life, particularly when I started college and no longer played softball. I fell in love with the fact that yoga wasn't just a workout. It created the space for me to tap into my internal dialogue and learn the breathwork that I have had in my life ever since. After a while, I jammed myself into the corporate world, and the stress intensified so bad that my life felt like it was falling apart. I came back full force into my yoga practice and it changed my life for the better once again. At that time, I was determined to try and provide that life-saving feeling for my fellow humans and took the teacher training course that forever inspired me to continue my yoga journey.

I grew up in Southern California, relocated to Colorado, and now live in Missouri working full-time in conservation. I love to snowboard, take care of my chickens and ducks, hang out with my dogs, and do all things outdoors. I wait for Halloween to come around each year and love to cook plant-based foods.

I currently teach at one of my favorite studios ever- Mystic Meadows and I taught on retreats around the world. I am the founder of Dirty Lavender which hosts nature-based yoga and retreats."

Morgan Eby

"Hello everyone! My name is Morgan Eby and I will be teaching a monday donation based class at Mystic Meadows! I completed Amanda’s 200hr Path of a Yogi this past July and I am so excited to start teaching a class! Before I found yoga I played tennis for 18 years and had the pleasure to play for Truman State the past 4 years. Yoga has truly given me an outlet for creativity, a way to improve my mental health, and a fantastic way to move my body with intention every day! I can’t wait to be part of your yoga journey!"

Kim Petre

“My background is in Asthanga Yoga, with some aerial, Kunadlini and Hatha experience. I spent a week at an ashram on paradise island in the Bahamas practicing Hatha. I started doing yoga in 2010 as a way to help keep my flexibility and strength from my dance and gymnastics days. I was looking for something to help with lower back and knee joint pain. I became RYT-200 certified in 2013 from “It’s Yoga” in Cincinnati. I enjoy reading and spending time with my husband and daughter.”

Gigi (Root) Wahba

"I began yoga during an emotionally stressful time in my life. I found it brought me calm, friendship and self confidence. Over the years I continued taking yoga classes for these benefits as well as a gentle way to strengthen and enhance my physical being for activities like tennis, swimming, biking and farm work. I have studied various forms of yoga in Amsterdam, Austin, Eugene and New York before moving to northeast Missouri.

In 2019, I took the Yoga Teacher Training Course with an Ashtanga focus offered by Amanda Montgomery. Since then, I have led Yoga Flow and Restorative Yoga classes at Take Root Studio as well as several, 6-week Seasonally Focused Yoga Workshops at Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage.

In 2020 I completed Yoga for Trauma Sensitive Healing workshop from Simona Lederman.

All in all, I hope to encourage everyone on their yoga journey, both on and off the mat."

Alina Kelly

"My yoga journey started about 7 years ago when my mom, who's been a yogi for a couple of decades now, signed me up for a fundamentals class and got me my first yoga mat. I was hooked and since then, I've been practicing in different countries, studios and styles. I became a certified yoga instructor in winter of 2019, and am looking forward to sharing with students what yoga taught me: serenity and confidence of mind and body.

Outside of the studio, I am an illustrator, and love staying active, complimenting my practice with strength training, running, kickboxing and anything new that I find interesting and fun."
