Tayler Chapin
Hivapalooza Host & Yoga Instructor
In 2018 Tayler Chapin opened the doors of Hive Hot Yoga to the Magic Valley. Since then, hundreds of yogis have joined the studio and started on their own yoga journeys. Tayler started practicing yoga in college where she enrolled in a yoga class that sparked her interest. Shortly after, she came across a Bikram yoga studio and after one taste of hot yoga, she was hooked! “I fell in love with the heat, humidity, static postures and the same routine. It was always challenging both physically and mentally and it kept my attention.....my mind didn't wonder, it couldn't....it was too hot. I was never really interested in the "spiritual" aspects of yoga. I loved the physical part of yoga. I enjoy watching my body in the mirror get stronger and more flexible, and do things I never thought it could do. But of course that "spiritual" part followed. I find myself in a better place mentally when I maintain my practice.”
SAMI ASHENBRENER
Hivapalooza Yoga Instructor & Guest Speaker: Balance & Mobility
Sami’s greatest passion lies in healing through physical movement. Her love for mind/body connection began at a young age through dance and yoga with her mom. This interest continued through the school years and eventually led Sami to dance at the University of San Diego. “While in this sunny California city, I developed an addiction to hot yoga and later received my yoga teaching certification in 2010. I continued yoga and dance as I attended graduate school, where I earned my Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2015. Since that time, I have participated in specialized yoga training for prenatal yoga, vinyasa, pediatric, and hot yoga. I also enjoy teaching in-depth anatomy and physiology classes to yoga instructors in order to strive toward safe and informed yoga practices. Each day, I am touched by the power that physical healing can have in restoring and rebuilding one’s quality of life.”
