Pam Kessinger created ALREADY WITHIN Yoga studio here at Pedalers Fork in 2018. Pam specializes in Recovery Yoga - a therapeutic form of Yoga she crafted to help prevent and recover from injury. Pam works with local professional athletes (NFL, NBA, cyclists, etc.) and has worked with the Los Angeles Rams, Dallas Cowboys, US Army Special Forces, Navy Seals and Wounded Warriors.
You can find Pam teaching weekly classes, teacher trainings and workshops. Her classes are filled with thoughtful alignment themes and insightful adjustments but with a light hearted, playful approach. Her ability to see the body is influenced by her 20+ years of practice, teaching and training in both yoga, fitness and meditation.
Her vision in creating this studio was to develop a variety of offerings and build a community where people from all walks of life can come for growth and nourishment of their body, mind and soul. She believes yoga should be fun and uses breathwork as a gateway to remind us to be still, to listen and to know everything we seek is Already Within each of us.

Bridget Sampson has found meditation profoundly healing in her own life for over 20 years. So, she decided it was time to teach others the transformative power of the ancient wisdom of mindfulness and Buddhist philosophy.
Bridget has been a spiritual seeker most of her adult life, starting with the Celestine Prophecy and Autobiography of a Yogi in the 90's, and continuing by voraciously absorbing the works of teachers you likely know – Eckhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra, Joe Dispenza, Michael Singer, The Dalai Lama, Thich Nhat Hanh, Ram Dass, and many more. She is certified in Reiki I and II, is a Kriya Yoga Initiate (in the lineage of Paramahansa Yogananda), and a dedicated practitioner of yoga classes. She also attends spiritual workshops and trainings often.
Bridget will complete Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield’s 2-year Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program in January of 2025. She has already met the major requirements, including all the student teaching hours.
Bridget is currently a public speaking and executive coach and is a retired communication studies professor.

Lisa Queen is a level 2 trained practitioner and facilitator - an ambassador, if you will, of breathwork as a powerful and constructive modality.
Lisa says, "My own experience as a "breather" has been, and continues to be, a key tool in my spiritual growth. The practice of conscious connected breathwork has created a dynamic shift in my inner journey and as such, I feel especially humbled to play a role as a conduit for others. I have such deep reverence for this practice and feel honored to be a compassionate witness for those I am graced to facilitate."
"I have the fortune to have been introduced to this method and trained to facilitate by Tai Hubbert, founder of Sword & Lotus (Kaisora Breathwork). She is an incredible resource and I encourage you to explore her website for a deeper dive into various aspects of this practice."
For more information about Lisa and the practice, preparation, contraindications, waiver, and scheduling requests - please visit www.spirituspranabreath.com and use 4352breath for access.
We are honored to share our beloved Already Within Yoga studio as a container for Lisa to hold her private, small group and couples breathwork sessions.
