Owner and Chief EnergyOfficer

Studio Soar is Rhonda's brainchild.  After many years in Human Resources for high tech corporations, Rhonda began feeling unfulfilled with the corporate grind and began exploring how to create her own oasis for peace, not only for herself but for others as well.   Reducing the chaos in her life with regular yoga practice and the exploration in aerial yoga,  Rhonda realized the need for fun, empowering, energizing excercise options and wanted to share those options with others.  This began the process to create Studio Soar.  Rhonda holds an Aerial Yoga certification through CircuSoul.  Rhonda holds a BS in Retail Management and an MS in Industrial Technology, both from Purdue University.   She is a mother of two children, Kadian (18) and Mataya (10), and two pets, Sapphire (Australian Shepard mix) and Willow (Siamese and Tiger Cat mix).  She also enjoys spending time with friends and family, watching movies, and continuously learning.

Ashley completed Ivy Tech’s Nursing Program in 2010 and works at Rosewalk Village as a registered nurse. After completing college, she had some extra free time. Ashley joined a gym with her boyfriend and enjoyed to weight train. Within the past year, Ashley realized she loved and had a passion for fitness. She began exploring new exercises and routines. The opportunity at Studio Soar was offered and she grabbed a hold of it. “Aerial yoga is a great way to clear the mind and to let go of the stress to the body. At times you feel like a kid again: swinging, flying, and going upside down.” With having a fast-paced and stressful job, Ashley is excited to incorporate aerial yoga into her life and to become a certified instructor.
