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.

Cami Baker
Senior Teacher, E-RYT 200, YOD Certified

Empowered by this profound practice, she also completed her 200hr YTT at 502 Power Yoga, YOD certification, and multiple Hands on Assisting trainings as well. As a true collaborator at heart and creator in the moment, she brings that sense of connection and presence into each class and workshop she leads — teaching and speaking to the hearts and people in the room. Additionally, Cami also teaches meditation, theatre, and shares the healing practices of singing and sound bowls to both individuals and groups. Through all of her work, she encourages self-listening and self-remembering.


Alison Cox

Alison completed her RYT200 in 2019 through 502 Power Yoga and earned her YOD Level 1 certification in 2021. When she’s not teaching yoga, you’ll find her working her corporate day job, reading every novel she can get her hands on, or stand-up paddleboarding on Kentucky’s beautiful waterways.

Yoga has been a common thread in Gina’s life for over twenty years. When she stepped into the doors at 502PY in 2015 her relationship with yoga flourished. Gina feels at home at 502PY. She is drawn to the breath and the physicality of the practice and the community and connection of the studio. The everyday benefits have been astounding and have naturally integrated into her daily life. Gina and her husband Jeff have four young kids that are true gifts and bring them some of life’s greatest joys. You may find Gina around town with her kiddos “down-dogging” right beside her!


Becky MacDonald
Support Team Lead, RYT 200, YOD Certified
Becky has practiced yoga off and on since the early 2000s and has always loved how it helps her stay grounded and focused. In 2015 she found her way home at 502 Power Yoga when she took her first class with this community. She loved the practice and community so much, that she worked her way up on the 502PY team: beginning as an Energy Exchange team member, to Front Desk staff (currently the Support Team Lead), Assisting team, and now as Yoga Teacher! Becky completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training with 502PY in March of 2019, and has a strong desire to spread the love of yoga love to all!
