Co-Owner & teacher
Taylor Howe Fahlstrom
Taylor grew up playing soccer, doing gymnastics and water-skiing. She attended college where she studied psychology and played soccer, leaving college after her freshman year to pursue her dream of becoming a massage therapist and help people heal through bodywork. While in massage school she fell in love with Pilates after experiencing firsthand the physical, emotional and spiritual benefits of controlled movement. After completing massage school she traveled to Thailand where she continued her bodywork training.
When she returned from her travels she completed comprehensive Pilates training through Power Pilates and graduated in 2005, and she has been a full time teacher ever since. Taylor treats everyone as an individual and works with a wide range of ages and abilities. Over the years she has fallen even more in love with Pilates after witnessing so many clients heal and transform their bodies—and their lives—through Pilates. When Taylor isn’t teaching she loves spending time with her husband Jason, daughter Lily, dog Koa and her mom and dad.

Teacher
Nikki Rogers
Nikki discovered yoga in 1999 in Atlanta, GA, while teaching Pilates at a local studio. As an ex ballet and modern dancer, she was immediately drawn into the physical and demanding nature of the practice, and after moving to Boulder, she completed Richard Freeman’s 200 hour Ashtanga yoga teacher training at the Yoga Workshop in 2005. Always craving more knowledge, she then went on to complete numerous other teacher trainings, receiving 400+ hours with CorePower Yoga (Power, Hot and Yin) and then another 300 hours in Integrated Vinyasa with Gina Caputo at the Colorado School of Yoga. Nikki’s flow classes are moderately paced, fun and light-hearted, and are appropriate for all levels. She’s known for building her classes to a safe yet challenging peak pose, always warming the body up adequately and allowing each student to work to their appropriate edge.
After experiencing a serious neck injury and living in pain for close to 8 years, Nikki discovered Kaiut Yoga and has never looked back. It completely healed her neck in ways doctors never could, and because of that, she has since dedicated most of her time and energy getting as much training in this life changing method as possible. She has been teaching Kaiut since 2018, and has seen unbelievable results in people of all ages, abilities and circumstances. She will be participating in additional advanced training this summer, as her goal is to share this method with everyone and anyone who wants to live their best life!
In addition to teaching yoga full time, Nikki also has her Masters Degree in Holistic Nutrition, and when she’s not teaching, you will find her spending time with her family (which includes husband Matt, daughter Dylan, 4 dogs and 1 cat!), cooking (and eating!), and shopping in any thrift store she can find!

In all my sessions, either a yoga class or an energy session, we will work together to bring more peace and balance to your energy body. I have a serious passion for holding and creating a space of rest, bliss and peace. Connecting back to our bodies and our wholeness is the greatest gift we can give ourselves. The yoga and energy in my classes will help to provide just that.
Having struggled for years with different autoimmune problems, I went on a mission to continue to find holistic ways to help my body heal. During all my teachings, I really started to appreciate how nourishing rest was in my healing journey. Practicing Reiki/Energy Work, Yoga Nidra, breath work, meditation and gentle yoga on a regular basis was a game changer for me and my body. That is why I am so passionate to share these practices with others.

Teacher
Luanne
Pilates along with Yoga has helped me tremendously through my PPMS (Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis) journey. I was doing Pilates prior to my 2015 diagnosis and as I declined over a 4 year period I could barely do anything. I persist in moving my body however much it can and I take care of my whole body. My neurologists are all amazed with the progress I’ve made as this diagnosis leaves you wheelchair bound or bedridden within 18 months. Look at me now. To ensure I can continue to move at whatever level I am at, I continue Pilates training and obtained my 500 hour Yoga certification.



Teacher
Alexandra
My name is Alexandra; I am devoted to yoga for more than three decades.

Teacher
Janna Marmon
Janna is a certified REB3L Groove & REB3L Strength instructor. Dancing and fitness have always been a big part of her life. When Janna entered college and no longer had high school sports or dance lessons to partake in, she felt like a piece of herself was missing. For nearly 10 years, she tried various exercise regimens but was still missing the communal aspect and fun that came along with dancing and playing sports as a team. She discovered REB3L (and the amazing community that surrounds it) in 2020 and was immediately hooked!
Janna finds so much joy in teaching both REB3L Groove and REB3L Strength. She loves working with women to help them grow their confidence and find their inner goddess. She strives to create an atmosphere in class that is welcoming, uplifting and non-judgmental. When Janna is not teaching, you can find her designing pretty packaging, whipping up something in the kitchen, tending to her garden or hanging out with her hubby and animals.

My name is Shannon Kluth. I’ve been teaching group fitness for over 10 years and specifically been teaching Reb3l fitness for the last 6 years. I am certified in both Reb3l Groove and Reb3l Strength platforms.
Why do I teach? I teach to make an impact in peoples lives and build community. I truly believe that movement doesn’t just change your body, it also changes your mind, your attitude, and your mood. Every time I enter the studio, my goal is to have my students leave feeling empowered and exhilarated both mentally and physically.
I fell in love with the reb3l platform because it lifted me up the way I want to lift others up and build their confidence. It’s helped me feel good in my own skin both mentally and physically. I am a happier, better, and more authentic person since being introduced to the Reb3l platform.
Driven by beats, sweat, and community, REB3L® reveals your power, creates confidence, and builds strength through high intensity, fun full body workouts. It’s the most unique and self fulfilling fitness platform I’ve ever experienced and I cherish sharing this with others. Don’t waste another day, I

Teacher
Lisa McAleavy
Movement has always been a central part of my life. I began dancing at a young age and was determined to pursue a career in it. In 1989 I attended the University of North Carolina School of the Arts where Pilates was a daily requirement. Upon graduation with a BFA in dance, and while performing professionally in NYC, I began teaching classical Pilates in Princeton, NJ under the guidance of Anthony Rabara, protege of Romana Kryzanowska. In 1994 I moved to Boulder, CO and began teaching at The Pilates Center, as well as directing The Pilates Center’s Teacher Training Certification Program. After 16 years, I left The Pilates Center to help start a new business and raise my two young children.
Pilates has unquestionably kept me both physically and mentally centered and resilient. After experiencing firsthand Pilates’ benefits and seeing the changes it’s brought to my clients, I have deep trust that the Pilates method empowers, improves health and consistently delivers positive results. Launching my youngest off to college this fall, I’m excited to be back in the Pilates community and to be teaching at Rocky Mountain Pilates.
