FALL LEADERS
We are super excited to have an amazing line-up of talented instructors and teachers to lead the Fall Big Om Yoga Retreat. Read below to learn more about the wonderful humans who will be leading each experience.
Hailey Boswell, Manager of Be Love Yoga Studios
Hailey first started doing yoga in college for the physical benefits it offered, but it didn’t take long before she felt the change yoga was making in her heart and mind as well as the body. Yoga helped her deal with the stress of working her way through college in a positive way, and continues to do so. She discovered a new sense of love for herself and others, which she had never felt before. Yoga invites her true authentic self to shine through, and allows her to feel more confident in everything she does. Hailey received her 200-hour teacher certification from Everyone Yoga School in May 2016. She teaches a vinyasa flow style class and enjoys teaching all types of classes ranging from soft, medium, to powerful.

Jenny Rigney
Jenny offers grounding, restorative Reiki and sound healing sessions designed to support nervous system regulation, energetic balance, and deep relaxation.
Misty Love, Death Doula
Misty Love is a certified AcroLove Instructor and Event Coordinator in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She first encountered acro shortly after coming out of a 15 year abusive marriage. What she discovered was an activity and community that promoted healing on many different levels. Acro helped her learn how to develop trust with other human beings as they lifted her up and supported her both figuratively and literally. Along with presenting opportunities to improve communication skills, Acro also provided her with fun filled ways to become more athletic while enjoying non sexual human touch that we all need to thrive in our daily lives. She views acro as powerful healing tool and confidence booster. Misty became an instructor and continues to sharpen her skills so that she could help spread the passion, love, and joy of Acro with you.
Kennady Ritter
I offer my work in layers — so you can hear me clearly, enter intentionally, and go deeper only when your body is ready. All offerings are designed to support nervous system regulation, pacing, and integration.
There are no one-off sessions and no rushed entry points. These offerings are designed to help you understand your nervous system and how my work approaches healing — without asking you to process or perform.Private work is best entered when you already know you want individualized support over time. If you’re looking for something to “try once,” these offerings may not be the right fit — and that’s okay.
I do not rush the body, even when the mind wants to.
Alfie Meneses
Alfie started practicing as a way to recover from a weight lifting regimen and to destress from working retail management. He soon realized that Yoga started giving him something much deeper; he found higher self-esteem, self-love, and empowerment he never found from just working out in a gym. After a year and a half of practicing, he received his RYT-200 from ViraVinyasa Yoga School in April 2018. Other training Alfie has received include 15 hours of Yin Yoga with Melissa Christensen and 17 hours of Pranayama with Mark Stephens.
Alife teaches Vinyasa Flow, Yin Yoga, Pranayama, and Meditation in public classes and workshops as well on his Youtube channel, “Fully Inspired: Yoga by Alfie” and on the Insight Timer Meditation App. Beyond the physical aspects, Alfie believes compassion, vulnerability, transparency, and heartfelt playfulness are key aspects in attaining true strength and empowerment. The heart of Alfie’s teaching comes from the connection between his practice and life experiences; and his intention is to inspire his students to connect their movement and breath on the mat to how they move and breathe through life off the mat.
