Sarah Lems
Sarah has been practicing yoga since 1996 and has taught various forms of yoga since 2011.

She immediately jumped into the teacher training with Francisco Kaiut and is passionate about being able to share the practice with others. Sarah approaches her teaching in a very nurturing, supportive, fun-loving way.

When she’s not on the mat, Adri enjoys creating intuitive artwork, meditating, cooking, hiking, and spending time with her 3 fluffy cat children.

Guest Teachers
Pam Novotny
For the past five years Pam has devoted herself to the practice of Kaiut Yoga, which has become a passion in her life. Although she didn’t start out thinking she’d become a Kaiut Yoga teacher, that idea grew along with her passion. At first, Kaiut Yoga was all about healing her ankle after three major surgeries in a single year. After a couple of years at the Barn, she also realized that she’d found a special community that was as healing to her as the yoga was. At this time of her life, it feels like a natural progression to share the practice about which she cares deeply, and which she studies consistently. Pam is engaged in ongoing teacher training with Francisco Kaiut, and she loves sharing the joy and healing of Kaiut Yoga. With five children and five grandchildren, she’s especially grateful that Zoom allows her to be with her family, study with Francisco Kaiut, teach, and practice Kaiut Yoga daily, no matter where she is.
Kathi Fry
Kathi Fry, MD has been practicing yoga since 1976 as a powerful stress reducer while in medical school and to heal from the effects of childhood polio. She has practiced other forms of yoga over the years, including Ashtanga, Bikram, Vinyasa flow, restorative and yin. Kathi was introduced to Kaiut Yoga after moving to Boulder in 2012 and that has been her main daily
practice ever since. She has completed the teacher training with Francisco Kaiut and continues to practice with him in various continuing education courses.
