502PY Teaching Team

Melissa just loves yoga and 502… she’s been hooked since her first visit in August 2014! Sharing her joy and excitement for yoga and the 502 community is one of her favorite things (this includes teaching every chance she gets). When she’s not having fun yoga-ing, she spends time with her family (including Henry and Bean, the French Bulldogs), friends, and works at Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Nicole discovered Power Vinyasa Yoga in 2014 where she fell in love with the 502PY community and practice. During the day you can find her at home caring for her young niece, two children, and working with individuals as a Wellness Coach. When not practicing on her mat, Nicole is enjoying the simple things with her awesome husband, kids, dogs and chickens while playing and working the country life.

After attending a Yoga of 12-Step Recovery class in 2016, Renee knew that teaching yoga was what she was meant to do. After receiving her 200-Hour certification from 502 Power Yoga in 2017, she has completed several additional yoga training, most notably in Y12SR (Yoga of 12 Step Recovery) and Yin Yoga. She is passionate about adapting and customizing poses to fit each unique body and champions having fun even if it’s uncomfortable and messy.

Agnese was born and raised in Louisville, KY. She is a mother of four (almost grown) children. She is a 5th grade teacher in JCPS and has a special education background. Sharing the countless benefits of her yoga practice with others is her passion. When she is not on her mat or teaching in the studio, Agnese is watching her children’s collegiate and high school swim meets, camping or walking in the park. Agnese is a volunteer for JDRF and St. Michael Youth Ministry.

Never being an athlete, but always a ball of nervous anxiety, Alison came to love the physicality of the power yoga practice, in addition to the innate calmness she began to feel on and off her mat as a result. Also a teacher with the Kentucky Yoga Initiative, Alison is passionate about bringing yoga to the Louisville community and making it accessible for all bodies. Outside of teaching yoga, Alison can be found working in marketing, reading every mystery/thriller novel she can get her hands on, and in the summer, stand-up paddleboarding on the beautiful waterways of Kentucky.

Corey has been actively teaching both Yoga and Spin classes along the Gulf Coast for the past 8 years as a resident of Gulf Shores, Alabama & Destin, Florida. She has felt such strength and grounding in her practice since starting at 502 Power Yoga and looks forward to supporting others to find power in their practice as well! Corey was born and raised in Louisville and is extremely excited to be back home with her two daughters and husband.

Lauren moved to Louisville in 2008, and began practicing yoga in 2017. During a dark period in her life, the practice at 502 Power Yoga brought strength, structure, and a foundation to heal from emotional trauma. Yoga has opened Lauren up to love and to be loved the people around her. When she’s not on her mat, she’s with her wonderful man, his four kids, and their 3 giant dogs. Lauren also loves tending her garden, traveling the world, and all things food related.
