Liz Shakti Wyld, E-RYT-500, RCYT

Creator/Director of Shakti Kids Yoga, Lead Teacher Trainer

Liz is a fun-loving, curious yogini, herbalist and teacher. She loves to meditate, travel the world, read and write, spend time in nature, create art, make jewelry, make herbal medicine and other wellness products.  Most of all Liz loves embracing life and teaching all people big or little!  When she found yoga more than 20 years ago, it was the home within that she had always been seeking. She began teaching children yoga in her Montessori classroom and instantly fell in love with helping people find connection to their breath, body, peaceful mind and spirit! Liz strives to empower her students to create their own practice and take away tools to use in everyday life. Also, Liz helps encourage students to intuitively flow into a meditative practice by connecting their movements with breath. Liz is the creator and director of Shakti Kids Yoga and teaches Children's Yoga Teacher Trainings, Workshops, Yoga for Special Events in Austin, Texas and Denver, Colorado and the surrounding areas.

Tami Webb, RYT200, RCYT

SKY Teacher

Tami is a certified yoga teacher and kids yoga instructor who believes movement helps us stay connected to our vitality, curiosity, and sense of play—keeping us feeling capable, alive, and young at heart.

As a mom of four, longtime entrepreneur, and creative, she brings warmth, playfulness, and real-life perspective to her teaching. Her classes blend mindful movement, strength, breath, and connection, creating space to slow down and feel more at home in your body.

Tami has an especially deep connection to working with children and believes childhood is something worth fiercely honoring. Kids experience big emotions, stress, and overstimulation just like adults, and they deserve tools to understand themselves, trust their bodies, and navigate their world. Through movement, breath, mindfulness, and play, she hopes to give them practices they can carry for a lifetime.

Blair completed Yoga Teacher Training in 2020, and Shakti Kids Yoga teacher training in 2024. She loves using songs and music in her classes.
