Kim Erica Schleicher, IAYT-500 is an alignment based, gentle yoga teacher. Her desire to teach Yoga was inspired by the transformative powers she found as a student. She completed the Yoga of Awareness for Cancer and Mindful Meditation Programs through Duke University and  IRest Level 2 with Richard Miller, Ph D. Through her 32 years' work with the Feathered Pipe Foundation she studied with the best yoga teachers in the world. She continues to embrace both the simplicity and mystery of the practice.

Kim has a BS in Forest Biology from USU. She continued ethnobotanical studies with Sage Mountain School in Vermont. She worked for the US Forest Service as Wilderness Ranger and Wild Land plants surveyor. After the Forest Service Kim grew her love of plants into Night Sky Botanicals, an Herbal Business in Montana. In 2014 Kim combined her passion for wild places, travel and culture and launched YogaBeyonda. Her favorite tours include movement, most often yoga. She embraces the idea of YogaBeyonda;  living your yoga on and off the mat. 

"Travel Light, Live Light, Spread the Light, Be the Light"      Yogi Bhajan

"  I have been on several of the yoga retreats you have organized and have been so thankful you were the tour leader.  I know for certain the trips had a special depth and breadth of experiences as a result of your own knowledge, as well as that of the knowledgable, interesting people with whom you connected in the various destinations.  Thank you so much for sharing your time, energy, and talent, as well as your fun spirit, on these trips.  I am looking forward to Iceland." Joyce Meyer, Oakland,

“I have been on many trips with Kim! Both in and out of the class she is a natural leader and guide, taking us beyond the boundaries of the inner and outer worlds.” K. L. Pitcher, Connecticut
