Yoga Teachers
Caroline johnson
Caroline has been practicing yoga for over 12 years, with Hatha yoga holding a special place in her heart. After struggling to find a Hatha instructor in Boise, she traveled to Rishikesh, India, to complete her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training. The physical practice of yoga has profoundly changed her life, and she’s thrilled to share her passion of growing strong while also growing soft on and off the mat.
Her teaching focuses on body awareness, extension, and alignment, guiding students to tune into how their bodies feel through every stage of movement. When she’s not teaching, you’ll likely find her at a bluegrass concert, walking her dog on the greenbelt, or creating in her stained glass studio.
Emma scott singletary
Emma Scott completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2018 in North Carolina while she was in college. As a group exercise instructor with Elon University, she used her training to teach vinyasa, all-levels flow, sculpt and yin classes, in addition to pilates, cycle, and barre classes.
She is passionate about creating welcoming and inclusive classes for all students. Emma Scott began her yoga practice 10 years ago in combination with physical therapy to heal from a severe back injury. She found that mindfulness, breathwork, and movement are wonderful skills to practice in her daily life!
She enjoys mountain biking, skiing, and being on or near water any free moment she has. Emma Scott can't wait to welcome you to one of her classes and form a beautiful community of mindful movement!
Lindsay Kolpitcke
Lindsay initially turned to yoga as an exercise practice when she was a teenager, having no idea that the physical asanas were only one small piece to all that yoga encompasses. What she immediately noticed upon beginning her practice was that she was finally able to quiet the busyness of her overactive ADHD mind. She became hooked and began practicing regularly at the age of 19. After contemplating attending a yoga teacher training program for 13 years, she enrolled in the 300 hour program at True North Yoga in 2023–which, interestingly enough, turned out to be the perfect timing.
Lindsay strives to create yoga flows that are both challenging and fun, offering moments of growth, play, and discovery. When Lindsay’s not practicing yoga, you can find her spending time with loved ones, exploring and playing outside, or creating with herbs.
Maddi Marlenee
Maddi came to find her love for yoga in 2017 after moving from Montana to Boise to pursue a degree in Nursing. Yoga taught her the divinity of the mind, body, soul connection, and more importantly what it means to love and care for your body. Maddi finally took the leap after years of being a practitioner and completed her 200hr teacher training through Flow Studio Boise. In addition to yoga, she is currently working as a nurse at St. Luke’s. With her experience in nursing she has gained knowledge that allows her to offer mindful posture alternatives, as well as injury prevention and recovery classes.
In Maddi’s classes you’ll find blends of focused vinyasa flows that emphasize strength building and rejuvenating sequences. Maddi learned from her teachers at Flow Studio the importance of helping her students find the “flow state.” Her experience in healthcare has shown her the beautiful meeting point between the western world of health and the eastern world of healing.
Maddi loves spending time outside doing allllll the things like biking, climbing, running, and nordic skiing! If she’s not making art or off emersed in activity, she’s most likely listening to live music anywhere and everywhere. One of her favorite things to offer students in her class is unique music, spreading all over the board from retro folk to modern indie to alternative rock. Maddi uses music to allow the body and mind the ability to center and find the flow state.
GINa sheesley
Gina has always had a passion for exploring a wide variety of physical movement, and she first discovered yoga in 2010 as one of many beloved forms of exercise. After relocating to Boise in 2019, her practice deepened, and she became more dedicated to yoga—not only as a physical discipline, but also as a holistic connection of body, mind, and spirit. She completed her 200-hour teacher training in the fall of 2024 at Flow Studio with two of her favorite teachers.
Gina strives to create a space where individuals can experience beauty, contentment, transformation, and flow on their unique yoga journeys. She believes yoga is a powerful tool for exploring the balance found within life’s inherent oppositions: challenge and calm, solitude and community, gravity and playfulness, striving and surrender. In her vinyasa classes, she aims to cultivate both effort and ease while honoring the essential rhythm of our inhales and exhales.
When she’s not teaching or practicing yoga, you’ll likely find Gina enjoying other forms of movement—mountain biking, climbing, snowboarding, skate skiing, paddle boarding, hiking, running, or trapeze—often with her two incredible kids or friends by her side. A hammock, a good book, delicious food, or studying are most likely to keep her still for a little while.
Hope Griffin
Yoga has been such a powerful part of my own healing, and I love being able to share that with others. My classes are rooted in Ashtanga, but I keep things active, breath-focused, and strength-based in a way that’s approachable for everyone. I want students to leave feeling a little stronger, more grounded, and lighter in spirit!
