A teacher affects eternity- He/She can never tell where their influence stops.
Sharing your unique gifts can produce undreamed of changes that you are not even aware.
Please don’t be discouraged if you offer a kindness that has not been received. It will be passed on to others.

Somer Axelson
Somer is a 4th generation Colorado native. In her free time she loves watching her daughter play sports, camping in the high country during the summer months and taking family beach vacations. There is nothing more soothing to her than getting grounded in nature. Somer started practicing Yoga at Mistyoga several years ago to help with anxiety, trauma and panic attacks. Due to her inquisitive nature she wanted to know the “why” behind everything that was practiced in class. That’s when Mistyoga's Cultivating the Heart of a Warrior 200 hour TTC found her. Somer's greatest joy is being able to share Yoga with the community.
