On the path to finding myself I found yoga. This practice which truly comes from the self, through the self and to the self, led me home. I have learned that this path is an eternal journey that I gladly wander with an open heart, mind and soul.
I have experienced the physical, the mental & emotional, and the spiritual growth which this practice has to offer both on and off of my mat. Through this personal growth I decided to take my first 200 hr yoga teacher training in 2014 as a birthday present to myself. The training that I had the gift of receiving at Lila Yoga in Spokane, WA changed my life completely.
The connections that were made, the knowledge that was learned, and the wisdom that was shared are forever in my heart and soul. Lila, which means 'Divine Play' in Sanskrit, in now a piece of me and how I would describe the way I teach and practice. A dance of the body, mind, heart & soul; it is playful, dynamic, creative, loving, grounding & uplifting, organic, fluid and unique.
I continued to study yoga and further my practice. In 2015 I did an internship (afriendaship) with a group of fellow yoga teachers at Lila Yoga, together we learned more about Ayurveda, leadership, teaching practices, and much more.
Then in 2016 I signed up for another training from Bear and Lara at Lila Yoga. Their knowledge of yoga and mediation, ability to hold space for the light and dark and loving ways have always and will always be two of my biggest inspirations. I journeyed through another 500 hours with them and my yogi brothers and sisters for one year. During that time I also assisted with another 500 hour teacher training being held at Lila. I am unconditionally grateful for all of the experience, wisdom and sacred space that was held during my time there. It is the root of what has brought me here; back to Red Lodge, my hometown, to cultivate the sacred space of Sunshine Yoga.
Being able to hold space for others to make their art through their own creative expression of this practice is what brings me joy. Guiding yoga is my passion and my mission is to give others the opportunity to cultivate a practice in which they can experience the unconditional love and light that is within us all. We are all a part of living yoga, each a unique facet of a whole.

Caleb first began practicing Yoga in 2012. Before finding Yoga Caleb's mind was marked with anger and hate.
Yet, through the practice of Yoga Caleb found a way to release those toxic emotions and create a vital life succeeded with pure happiness and love.
Caleb first began the practice under the guidance of Chuck Beck. Chuck helped bring value, purpose, and wisdom to the practice for Caleb to seek and find. Caleb was consistently taught - "Question everything. Then question that."
After receiving a DVD titled - 'Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series with David Swenson' Caleb found his structure for Yoga. He practiced six days a week in his living room every morning discovering and understanding The Primary Series.
From there he knew he wanted to spread the gift of Yoga. Caleb applied and received a yoga scholarship for the aid towards a 200 Hour Teacher Training with Yoga Alliance.
In these 200 hours, Caleb learned the anatomy of the body. How to safely assist all types of bodies into one posture, adaptable to their needs. He also learned not just the physical realm of Yoga but also the scriptures and philosophy supporting Yoga.
After creating a loyal following in central Illinois, Caleb decided it was time to move to Colorado. With his time in Colorado Caleb found two teachers that were taught under Sri K Pattabhi Jois - the man who helped bring Ashtanga Vinyasa to the Western World. At the age of 22, Caleb left to Mysore, India to study with R. Sharath Jois - grandson of Sri K Pattabhi Jois. For 11 weeks Caleb lived a strict lifestyle with very little social engagement.
Returning from India, Caleb stopped practicing slowly over time to achieve other life goals. Now, three years later, Caleb has decided it's time to resume the practice and return to sharing the gift of Yoga.
In Caleb's classes, you will be taught to bring the focus of the breath combined with the movement of the body. Allowing a glimpse into the Truth. Caleb will challenge you to go beyond your comfort zone to prepare you for what lies ahead.
"Practice and all is coming."
