Meet Karen Coltharp RYT 500

Hi, I’m Karen! I love guiding slow, gentle flows practices that invite you to breathe deeply, soften, and reconnect to your body and your heart.

In 2023, I began yoga teacher training with no intention of teaching, I simply wanted to deepen my own practice. But somewhere along the way, I fell in love with nurturing others through movement. I completed my 200-hour foundational training at Vedic Lotus Yoga in 2023, followed by a Children’s Yoga Certification, and then my 300-hour advanced training at Heartwood Yoga in 2024. I am registered with Yoga Alliance as a RYT-500 yoga teacher.

My classes are a blend of breath and mindful movement, created to help you feel grounded and present. For me, yoga is about connection — with ourselves, with each other, and with the quiet moments that bring us home.

Meet Kellee Fletcher, RYT 500

Hi, I’m Kellee Fletcher, a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance and part of the River Thistle Spa family here in beautiful Batesville, Arkansas. My yoga journey began back in 2019, when I first discovered how powerful mindful movement and breath could be in finding balance — both on and off the mat. What started as a personal practice soon grew into a desire to share yoga with others.

I completed my foundational teacher training in 2023 through Vedic Lotus Yoga. Continuing to learn is a big part of my path — I’ve completed additional training in Yoga Anatomy and the Art of Teaching Beginners with renowned teacher, Jason Crandell, and in December 2024, I earned my Advanced Teacher Training certification through his program. That same month, I also had the honor to train with Judith Hanson Lasater diving deeper into the art of restorative yoga. Through my training with Judith, I began to understand how critically important it is to down regulate our nervous systems, so we can better manage and maintain our health, relationships, and happiness.

At River Thistle Spa, I love creating a space where movement meets mindfulness — where every class invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself. My approach blends thoughtful sequencing, functional movement, and a heart-centered awareness that welcomes all bodies and experience levels.

Whether you’re stepping onto the mat for the first time or returning to your practice, my hope is that you leave feeling refreshed, grounded, and nourished — body, mind, and spirit.
