Keri Vammer
Owner / Meditation & Yoga Instructor / Kundalini Reiki Master
My passion for self-care and yoga began in 2017, but what I found was far greater than movement — I found a sanctuary. A place that challenged me, softened me, strengthened me, and ultimately gave me permission to fully be myself. That experience changed everything. In June 2018, I completed my RYT-200, and I’ve since earned my RYT-300, bringing my total RYT training to over 700 hours. With more than a decade of experience guiding students in yoga, meditation, and energy work, and over 1,000 hours of combined training, I bring both depth and expertise to every practice I teach. My certifications include Aerial Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Thai Yoga, Yin Yoga, Usui Reiki I & II, and Master-level Kundalini Reiki. For the past six years, I’ve been guiding meditation to help others slow down, reconnect, and remember who they truly are beneath the noise of the world. While I still cherish the depth and stillness of Yin and Restorative practices, my teaching has expanded into more dynamic classes like Strength & Stretch — a space to challenge balance, build core stability, awaken personal power, and step confidently into the body. I believe strength is sacred: when we feel physically strong, it ripples emotionally and energetically, creating space for transformation and growth. I’ve also developed a deep love for understanding the body — how and where we store emotions, how past experiences shape our physical and energetic systems, and how intentional movement and energy work can unlock wisdom and resilience. Our bodies are storytellers; when we learn to listen, we gain clarity, self-trust, and the power to grow. Through my own healing journey, I developed a deep trust in my intuition and a heightened awareness of how energy and emotion move through the body. Over time, I cultivated practical tools to help others gently release stored patterns, restore balance, and reconnect with their inner guidance. I believe our past experiences leave imprints not only in the mind but in the body and nervous system. When we intentionally clear, center, and realign, we create space for new beginnings, empowered beliefs, and aligned growth. Whether we are strengthening, stretching, meditating, or restoring, my intention is always the same: to create a safe, grounded, and empowering space where you can heal, grow, and step fully into your power. It is an honor to walk beside you on your journey. Namaste. ✨
Kelsey Schiermeister
Co-Owner / Assistant & Store Manager / Yin Instructor
I started my practice in 2018, thanks to Keri and her cousin talking me into going to a Heated Vinyasa class. Little did I know I would quickly fall in love with yoga. In November of 2019 I received my training to be a Yin Instructor, I received the Yin Yoga Certificate of Completion in Eden Prairie, MN as my heart resonates with Yin so much. In 2020 I received my attunement in Kundalini Reiki along with Angelic Reiki. Although I do not offer sessions, I do use my Reiki attunement at home on my house plants along with practicing on friends and helping with Reiki Restorative classes. I have intentions of expanding my yoga training along with other certifications as well as I am finding a love for teaching, along with personal growth, that I never expected.

Tiffany Austin
Studio Partner, Group Fitness Instructor, Thai Yoga & Sound Healing Practitioner
Hi! I'm Tiffany. I have a fantastic husband, 3 amazing children (one is now an adult!), 1 cat, 2 dogs, a bird, and a snake! I have a B.A. in American Sign Language. I started my own group fitness business, Infinite Improvement with Tiffany, in 2017 after attaining my national group fitness certification through the American Council on Exercise (ACE) and am certified in a variety of formats. I tend to be considered one of the power instructors because I do love cardio classes. I love classes with weights, bands, steps, balls, HIIT, dance, MMA, pumped-up pilates/yoga fusion, etc. The higher the energy the better! Then I got injured from overdoing it and not learning how to recover properly and slow down. After coming to The Studio in 2021, my practice expanded. Meditation became a new safe place in my life due to all of life's challenges. I achieved a certification in Mindfulness Meditation as well as Sound Bath for my own benefit. After which went on to pursue a deeper understanding of the benefits of sound healing and mindfulness. After a push from Keri, beginning to lead classes and later individual sessions. I also added Thai Yoga certification to my tool belt as I have learned the need we all have for recovery, relaxation, and rejuvenation of the body and mind not just the active movement or the meditative states. It's all about balance. My passion is to help people find a healthy, balanced, centered connection to themselves and others, and to find joy in the process! I believe when people enjoy fitness, they are better able to achieve personal goals. I am honored to be able to join you in your journey. *In 2025 Infinite Improvement with Tiffany changed to Infinite Improvement LLC.
MacKenzie Schmaltz
Yoga Instructor
I found yoga as a little girl. I was blessed with a yoga teacher of a mother who would include us in her practice at a very early age. (Like got in trouble at Shiloh for singing Hari Krishna on the playground, early age). I've been teaching regularly since I was 17. I love bringing yoga to people who would normally not practice. It is such a fundamental good that everyone should enjoy in their life. The student's success, whether it be mental or physical, is what really brings me joy. My non-yoga fun time is spent at our home north of Mandan or on effervescent vacations with the people I love. I'm an outdoorsy and active person. If the suns out, I'm out. See you on the mat.

My background in medicine and adult education enriches the way I guide students, blending knowledge with compassion and clarity.

This practice has deepened my connection to myself and the universe, offering resilience and balance in daily life. Teaching is not only a natural extension of my journey but also a source of great joy. I love creating a supportive space where others can explore their own paths, discover the transformative power of Kundalini Yoga, and experience the holistic benefits it brings to body, mind and spirit.
