RussAnn & Anslea
The Yoga Spa Founders
As dedicated entrepreneurs and self-care advocates, RussAnn and Anslea envisioned a haven for individuals seeking internal wellness and balance. With their own experiences as inspiration, they embarked on a wellness tour, visiting various yoga, spa, and fitness facilities in the Edmond and North Oklahoma City areas.
While they found many individual amenities, they noticed a lack of a cohesive vision for overall well-being. Refusing to settle, these female business owners continued their pursuit of the ultimate self-care destination.
Their explorations led them to discover the unique offerings of spas, resorts, and retreats, including mountain yoga retreats, Chinese massage and reflexology, and rejuvenating saunas in Mexico. Inspired by these experiences, RussAnn and Anslea were determined to create a genuine and inclusive space for community members to be authentic and find a sense of belonging.
And so, The Yoga Spa was born, with the mission to cultivate laughter, friendship, and a supportive community. To bring their vision to life, these two best friends handpicked a team of experienced and passionate wellness professionals who share their commitment to guiding individuals on their journeys.
As they strongly believe, self-care is essential, exhilarating, and enjoyable. Come and see for yourself at The Yoga Spa!

Management Team
RussAnn Anderson
Spa Founder & Owner
As a female entrepreneur, wife, and mom my wellness journey took a back seat to family dinners, taxi services, homework, date night, managing customer needs, marketing, and payroll. There was always something else that needed to be done and someone else that needed me. That’s what women do. We put everyone else first. That all changed in 2019 when I stepped onto a yoga mat for a little “me time”. What I thought was just another exercise class became so much more. My mat was the catalyst that led me down a journey to a more holistic lifestyle, and I found myself surrounded by a strong and supportive community.
In 2022 I began what I lovingly refer to as my wellness tour with my bestie. We both found ourselves in a new season of life, and it was time for friendship, growth, and adventure. We went to every type of yoga class imaginable, bungee fitness, reiki circles, herbology classes, yoga retreats, spas, meditation classes, float tanks, mindfulness classes, sauna pod sessions, cold plunges, acupuncture, organic body wraps, and yoga teacher training. We dove into wellness books, podcasts, Netflix series, online courses, and anything else we could get our hands on or experience first-hand. There was not much we did not try, and we did it all together!
This journey of learning and adventure turned into a passion, and that passion turned into a business idea. The Yoga Spa, a wellness community was born. Our vision at The Yoga Spa is to create a wellness environment full of love, laughter, learning, friendship, and adventure.
Certifications: RYT200, Gentle Somatic Yoga, Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Mindfulness, Meditation, Holy Fire Reiki Level 2, & Master Gardener.
Anslea Steele
Spa Founder & Owner
The many twists and turns of life led me to the yoga mat. When my close friend invited me to join her for a yoga class during a difficult life transition, I thought I was going for a stress-relieving, sweaty, exercise class. Instead, I discovered a practice of needed movement, inner calmness, and self-awareness. I was surprised to find that yoga helped me to “step out of my head” and find more ease.
After practicing yoga for one year, I decided to take a huge leap of faith and enroll in a 200-hour yoga teacher training program. My goal wasn’t necessarily to teach yoga but to accelerate my practice and to study yoga intensively so I could understand how it had helped me in the surprising ways that it did. I quickly realized this was a study that would, most likely, take a lifetime to unravel.
Through my yoga journey, a new community of friends began to emerge in my life. I found like-minded people of all backgrounds that built friendships around yoga, fun, laughter, and wellness. This spurred on an idea for a new business adventure with my friend, and now business partner, RussAnn. We decided that more people should be able to enjoy yoga and other aspects of wellness and self-care in one special place. We envisioned creating a community where people could come as they are, grow together, and support one another through the twists and turns of life.
And now here we are . . . at The Yoga Spa, sharing our vision and dream with others! I hope you can bring your genuine self and enjoy an environment of laughter, relaxation, and self-care as we all experience life together.
When I’m not spending time at The Yoga Spa, you will find me running another business I am passionate about, Kumon Math and Reading Center of Edmond North, and spending time with my family, especially my two adult children, Braden and Abby.

Hannah
Licensed Massage Therapist
In the spring of 2022, in my late 30s, I found myself shifting into a new season of life. With a certificate to practice massage therapy and a deep desire to use my healing and nurturing personality massage felt like coming home.
During my training I explored different forms of massage adding many tools to my “tool box” and found myself drawn to the gentle touch work of Craniosacral Therapy (CST) and Somatic Massage Therapy. I have found that engaging with the body in an energetic manner and allowing the client’s body to release tension and unwanted “yuck” gives longer lasting results and a deeper sense of calm.
More than anything I have enjoyed being a safe and calm place for my clients to learn a little more about who they are on their healing journey. It is my greatest hope to help others “Find Wholeness In Healing.”
Shannon
Licensed Massage Therapist
Hey y’all I’m Shannon, a Nationally Board Certified & Licensed Massage Therapist who has 20 years of experience in bodywork. For over half of my career I have specialized in medical massage in the chiropractic & wellness fields. My true passion is renewing my client’s holistic health by addressing the root causes of pain & stress- whether physical, mental or spiritual. Pulling from both my indigenous first american, as well as my pacific islander heritage, I truly believe in healing through therapeutic touch & intuitive knowledge of the human soul.
I am well versed in multiple modalities such as deep tissue, lymphatic drainage, Lomi Lomi, trigger point, hot stone, Swedish or relaxation, prenatal & light stretching. In each session I take great care to listen to the body, as well as the client’s concerns, & I create a treatment specific to them. No matter the approach, my desire is to ensure that they leave refreshed & nurtured, with their aches & pains alleviated.
When not at work, I am deeply immersed in family life. Whether it’s playing make-believe with my daughter or supporting my son’s music career, I know that my intentional time & interest greatly impacts their future. I love being in nature & am convinced that fire pits foster great conversation. What truly brings me joy is cooking for those I love & having snuggly couch time, watching movies with my people.
Trish
Licensed Massage Therapist
Hi there! I specialize in a variety of modalities that cater to the diverse needs of our clients. From the gentle strokes of Swedish, the rhythmic movements of Lomilomi or meditative Thai Yoga Massage, I strive to create a unique experience for each individual. My training in Trigger Point, Migraine Therapies, Myofascial Release and Lymphatic Drainage Massage assists me to address more complex issues. Plus, I offer safe and soothing Prenatal massage for all the amazing moms-to-be out there!
At 16 yrs old, I felt a pull toward holistic wellness, but it wasn’t until I began my formal training at Mueller College for Holistic Studies in San Diego where I studied anatomy, physiology, and the intricacies of the human body that I truly discovered my calling. Their vibe and knowledge ignited my passion for healing. I later attended Ashdown College of Health Sciences in Redlands, California where I learned about diseases and how they affect our physical and emotional well-being.
In Ojai, California, I explored the deon Thai Method of massage that introduced the somatic aspects of the body, the importance of movement and flexibility for achieving overall wellness. It transformed my approach to massage therapy and I began to refine my techniques to blend therapeutic touch with mindful movement and intention.
The power of massage therapy has transformed not only my life but also the lives of those I have the privilege to work with. The Yoga Spa is a safe haven where clients explore their own mind, body, and spiritual connections and I take great joy in supporting their holistic approach to wellness. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to guide my clients toward balance and harmony in their lives. I look forward to what the future holds on this incredible journey.
Deanna
Licensed Massage Therapist
I am a Licensed Massage Therapist with 17 years of experience in bodywork. Throughout much of my career, I have worked within chiropractic offices, wellness clinics, and spa environments, helping clients manage chronic tension, everyday aches and pains, limited mobility, injuries, and physical stress.
My passion is helping people move better, feel better, and function better through personalized therapeutic touch. I believe every client and every body is different, which is why I take the time to listen carefully to each client’s concerns and create a massage experience based on their individual needs and comfort level.
I am experienced in a variety of techniques, including therapeutic and deep tissue massage, Swedish relaxation massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, structural integration, cupping, gua sha, assisted stretching, hot stone massage, prenatal massage, and Lomi Lomi-inspired techniques. I enjoy blending focused therapeutic work with a calming, restorative flow so clients can receive effective bodywork while still enjoying a deeply relaxing experience. During each session, I pay close attention to how the body responds and adjust my approach as needed. My goal is for every client to feel heard, comfortable, and genuinely cared for from the moment they arrive until the end of their session.
Outside of massage therapy, I enjoy spending meaningful time with my family and relaxing with my dogs. I am an avid animal lover and truly appreciate the comfort and joy animals bring. When time permits, I love being outdoors and connecting with nature—whether I’m paddleboarding or taking my side-by-side out for a little adventure. After recently relocating from Arizona to Oklahoma, I am grateful for the opportunity to become part of a new community and continue doing the work I truly love.

Amanda
Yoga Teacher
Dr. Amanda Burke was born and raised right here in Edmond, Oklahoma! She received her undergraduate degree and PhD in Clinical Psychology at Oklahoma State University.
Through a series of synchronous events, Amanda found herself working in clinical practice primarily with women in the context of deep emotional trauma and grief. Recognizing the larger “calling” to assist women in finding themselves and owning their power, she sought additional opportunities to grow in her community outreach and wellness programming.
Having been a spin instructor for 5 years, she understood the impact of group and community wellness, leading her to The Yoga Spa. Here she found peace, serenity, friendship, and spiritual growth, combined with the benefits of yoga, meditation, and sound healing. She felt like it was truly a “home away from home” and the place to begin her vision of creating women’s wellness workshops. She began collaborating with The Yoga Spa with programs designed to enlighten and heal women in a supportive, trusting space that feels like a sisterhood when you walk in the door. Inspired by the community, Amanda became a certified yoga instructor through YogaRenew, holding her 200-hour CYT certification, along with 30-hour CYT Restorative Yoga and 20-hour CYT Yin Yoga certifications.
Amanda’s approach to teaching is enthusiastic, warm, and inviting; she asks for people to show up as their truest self and build a kinship through community and connection. She combines breathwork, mindfulness exercises, cognitive techniques, and movement to cultivate a holistic approach to mental health.
Amanda believes that healing comes from blending science and spirit. It is truly through connection with ourselves and others that we experience the full gravity of finding and owning our authentic selves, unapologetically.
I invite you to come and learn with us, grow with us, and heal with us.
“My Love, to Your Love, to Our Love”

Chris
Yoga Teacher
I began my yoga journey in 2015 following a significant life transition. As a means of navigating challenging times, I turned to running and yoga (completing over 60 half marathons), finding solace by helping process thoughts and becoming a healthier person, both physically and mentally. While running set me on a positive, healthy path, yoga provided a deeper level of self-awareness, balance, and inner peace. Building on my yoga journey, in August 2023 I began yoga teacher training at You Power Yoga to bring a deeper understanding of myself beyond physical fitness and to provide service to others.
I'm passionate about classes that blend philosophy, flow, and challenge, especially power yoga, both as a practitioner and instructor. Teaching VinYin, Yin, and “slow burn” classes also brings me joy as I aim to cater to my students' diverse needs.
Hannah
Yoga Teacher
Yoga has been my safe space and my greatest teacher. After years of battling anxiety and depression, countless medications, and a long journey through therapy, yoga became the one constant that made me feel whole. It wasn’t just a practice—it became my life.
I grew up in Edmond, Oklahoma, in a very athletic family, playing everything from basketball and gymnastics to track, cross country, and soccer. Movement has always been part of who I am, and yoga gave me a way to connect mind, body, and soul in a way nothing else could.
I’m a proud dog mom to two pups—a French Bulldog and a Husky—and a Biology major at Oklahoma State University with a focus on Allied Health. My goal is to apply to Dental Hygiene school and continue my education in the health sciences. My own journey with oral health began at age six after a four-wheeler accident that resulted in losing five adult teeth. Through years of surgeries, bone grafting, and perseverance, I learned resilience and gratitude—qualities I bring into every class I teach.
When I’m not on the mat, you’ll find me enjoying photography, nature walks, and the simple joys of life.

Melody
Yoga Teacher
I began my yoga journey in the early 2000's as a way to explore a new form of movement and mindfulness. After falling in love with the practice over and over again, I decided in 2023 to immerse myself in yoga knowledge and philosophy by completing my 200-hour yoga teacher training. I continue returning to the mat to quiet my mind, connect with myself, and find balance in an otherwise busy life. My goal is to facilitate classes that are inclusive and empowering.
When I’m not practicing yoga, I'm raising two amazing kids, gardening, walking, reading, singing, teaching, or nurturing connections with people and places.
Victoria
Yoga Teacher
Victoria began practicing yoga in 2013 and instantly fell in love with the practice. In 2018 she received 200 hours of training in Hatha and Vinyasa from the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts in Tempe, Arizona, and in 2019 she completed 100 hours of Yoga Nidra training from Dr. Kamini Desai under the Amrit Method. Victoria has a Master of Science in Health Psychology and is currently working on her PhD in Performance Psychology where she’s researching meditation and its relationship to occupational burnout.
Victoria enjoys gardening, espresso, farmers markets, hiking, and traveling, and is a folk singer-songwriter under the name Airrose! She loves teaching a broad range of classes, but her all-time favorites are Vinyasa and Power Flow, Yin, Hatha, Nidra, and sound healings.
Kate
Yoga Teacher
I became RYT-200 in 2004, studying with Valerie Kit Love, O.T. In 2015 I finished my 500-hour certification with Namah Shivayah at the International School of Yoga in Dallas, led by Tej Monga. That school introduced me to Ashtanga, Yin, Restorative, and Kids’ Yoga; it made me dive into the study of Sanskrit language and yoga philosophy. I studied with Kathryn Budig and Doug Keller, received certification in Kids Yoga with Shana Meyerson and in Aerial Yoga with Amy Miller. I recently completed Gentle Somatic Yoga levels 1 and 2 online courses led by James Knight. Over the years, I have also taken numerous workshops and classes.
I believe that gentle, persistent practice can make you stronger than the occasional power yoga class. It’s okay to give yourself some grace and to do what your body needs each day. I also believe that the most important part of a successful class is a connection among people. That connection makes students come back and stick to the practice. In turn, commitment to the practice will help your improvement.
I truly care about my students, read the room for my cues and instructions, and encourage everyone to work at their level, providing plenty of modifications. Yoga practice is not just about becoming stronger or more flexible; it is about getting to a physical and emotional state in which one can be present and experience life fully, no matter what it brings.
Originally from Belarus, I have been living in Edmond for the last fifteen years. I am a wife, a mom of three, a dance and Pom mom, a friend, and a neighbor. I love reading, traveling, spending time with my cat, painting watercolors, and taking ballroom dancing classes with my husband.
Stacey
Yoga Teacher
I have been teaching yoga since 2016, and I love to share my passion for staying active and healthy with others. Yoga has been a beautiful and life-changing gift for me over the last twenty years, bringing a deeper sense of peace, balance, and mindfulness in my life, both on and off the mat. I love sharing the many benefits I have received in practicing yoga with others.
When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time dancing, hiking, volunteering, cooking, baking, and hanging out with my husband and our four adult children.
Stephanie
Yoga Teacher
My very close friend first introduced me to yoga in 2018, and it quickly became a passion of mine. When I moved to Oklahoma in 2019, I joined a Baptiste inspired power yoga studio whose owner was highly passionate about community. She quickly became my friend and mentor, and I received my 200-hour teaching trading at her studio.
I’m continuing my education by integrating the world of anatomy with the world of yoga to provide my students and myself with the best possible practices. My role as a student never stops as I have many interests in all aspects of health and wellness. My current focus is on power vinyasa inspired by the Baptiste methodology. Through its dynamic practice, it welcomes students of all levels. The sequence I share is scientifically designed to tone, strengthen, and rinse your body, clear your mind, and leave you feeling balanced and rejuvenated.
I am excited to connect and form a community as I believe that is what is needed in these modern days. I believe we all need to grow in four ways: emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. We all matter, and there’s more to come, one soul to another.
Megan
Yoga Teacher
Megan is a yoga teacher and somatic educator devoted to guiding others back home to themselves.

In every class and offering, Megan holds space for rest, safety, and gentle self-listening. Her intention is to create a sanctuary where the body feels supported, the breath feels steady, and each person can return to the quiet wisdom within. Her hope is that every practice becomes an invitation — to settle, to feel, to reconnect, and to remember the wholeness that has always been there.
Abbey
Yoga Teacher
Yoga found Abbey in the summer of 2024 after a long period of low self esteem. At the end of her first class, she was able to sit quietly with herself for the first time.

In February of that year Abbey decided to go back to training for restorative yoga and therapeutic adaptations. Since then she has been passionate about sharing the healing powers of yoga for mental health. When Abbey isn’t teaching or practicing yoga she is in school studying to become a mental health counselor. She also enjoys reading and playing video games in her spare time. One fun fact about Abbey is that she speaks Mandarin.

I enjoy connecting with people from all walks of life because, ultimately, we are all on the same journey. After earning my 200 RYT in 2020, I began teaching yoga and haven’t looked back. My love for yoga has only deepened, and it continues to inspire new perspectives and approaches to life. Every time I roll out my mat, I know I’ve found my way home.
I live in Edmond with my lifelong love, our two teenagers, and two adorable beagles.

Theresa S.
Yoga Teacher
I strive to create a safe space and to make yoga accessible for everyone, guiding and educating each person on their own personal journey for good health and overall wellbeing.
I began practicing yoga in my early 20’s as I started my career as an engineer. While traveling around the US I attended classes in various cities providing me with an opportunity to practice different styles of yoga with many different teachers. At that time, I was drawn primarily to the physical benefits and challenges of yoga. Over time, I gravitated to gentle, meditative practices and in 2023 decided to pursue my 200-hour Teacher Training at This Land Yoga. This unique and rewarding experience ignited within me a desire and curiosity to deepen my understanding, thus embarking on a continuous learning path which has included studying Yogic Philosophy, Anatomy and a variety of Gentle Yoga modalities and Therapeutic Techniques.

Sherri Lynn Reichel
Breathwork Facilitor & Vibroacoustic Therapy Practioner
My journey into this work began through my own healing.
After navigating trauma, grief, and years of living in survival mode, I discovered breathwork. What began as a personal lifeline became one of the most transformative experiences of my life and eventually led me to this work.
Today, I am a trauma-informed breathwork facilitator and certified vibroacoustic therapy practitioner. My approach is rooted in nervous system regulation, neuroscience, and neurosomatic training, creating a space where people can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and experience healing in a way that feels safe and supportive.
My experience includes facilitating breathwork in mental health and addiction recovery settings, as well as working with individuals and groups throughout the community. I believe healing happens when we feel seen, supported, and connected to ourselves.
It is an honor to walk alongside others as they reconnect with their own resilience, inner wisdom, and capacity to heal.

Dr. Amanda Burke
Clinical Psychologist & Clinical Adjunct Professor
Dr. Amanda Burke was born and raised right here in Edmond, Oklahoma! She received her undergraduate degree and PhD in Clinical Psychology at Oklahoma State University.
Through a series of synchronous events, Amanda found herself working in clinical practice primarily with women in the context of deep emotional trauma and grief. Recognizing the larger “calling” to assist women in finding themselves and owning their power, she sought additional opportunities to grow in her community outreach and wellness programming.
Having been a spin instructor for 5 years, she understood the impact of group and community wellness, leading her to The Yoga Spa. Here she found peace, serenity, friendship, and spiritual growth, combined with the benefits of yoga, meditation, and sound healing. She felt like it was truly a “home away from home” and the place to begin her vision of creating women’s wellness workshops. She began collaborating with The Yoga Spa with programs designed to enlighten and heal women in a supportive, trusting space that feels like a sisterhood when you walk in the door. Inspired by the community, Amanda became a certified yoga instructor through YogaRenew, holding her 200-hour CYT certification, along with 30-hour CYT Restorative Yoga and 20-hour CYT Yin Yoga certifications.
Amanda’s approach to teaching is enthusiastic, warm, and inviting; she asks for people to show up as their truest self and build a kinship through community and connection. She combines breathwork, mindfulness exercises, cognitive techniques, and movement to cultivate a holistic approach to mental health.
Amanda believes that healing comes from blending science and spirit. It is truly through connection with ourselves and others that we experience the full gravity of finding and owning our authentic selves, unapologetically.
I invite you to come and learn with us, grow with us, and heal with us.
“My Love, to Your Love, to Our Love”

Deanna Reed
Sound Healing & Meditation Practioner
About a decade ago my journey with yoga began at a time when I really needed it the most. Instead of taking the traditional route, I gave yoga a chance after hearing positive praises from friends and family.
My life was changed by a gifted instructor who helped me love the journey of healing. Now, I find purpose in guiding students through their own practice. Teaching and seeing students unlock new and beautiful discoveries about themselves every day is special, and I am honored to be able to hold and create space for that magic to happen. It was uncomfortable, challenging, and one of the best decisions I could have ever made for myself.
I earned my 200-hour teacher training while living in Los Angeles. In spring 2021, I earned my 500-hour training. I am also an Okuden and Shoden Reiki practitioner, herbalist, spiritual and meditation coach and sound healer. I will continue to pursue more education and share that knowledge and wisdom with others.
I enjoy teaching vinyasa, yin, meditation, and sound bath classes. I put emphasis on breathing as it is the best tool for mind/body awareness and connection. The flows are simple, yet aligned and powerful. Breath is a beautiful and fluid action to focus and hone in on so I value and instill it in all the classes that I lead. I also emphasize and spend much time focusing on the mind. We will learn different meditation practices in every class, and I will close each practice with a sound healing experience. You will leave each class feeling grounded, strong, peaceful, and empowered.
I look forward to connecting and flowing with you soon.
