Sweet Apple Practitioners
Hi There, I’m Heather Fixico
Thank you for visiting my site. Years ago, I was introduced to yoga from a gym class and thought it was cool but didn’t look further into it at that time. That was in 2003 …life just moved forward. In 2007 I was going through a lot of hard times: mentally, emotionally, and financially. I was overwhelmed, stressed out and was having anxiety attacks which left me unable to drive. A friend of mine took me to a local yoga studio and I took a class and felt a little better! It made me feel grounded and hopeful. I then took another class and felt better again! Maybe there is something to this yoga after all! Before long, my personal yoga practice fell into place, and I never looked back. In 2017, I took my yoga teacher training with Sacred Roots and became certified. My love for yoga and how it has helped me brings me here to opening my own space to share with others. Please feel free to drop in and check out our classes. We welcome students of all levels, especially those new to yoga.
Sharon Miller
The Sanskrit work “Asana”, which we know as the physical limb of yoga, literally means “to take a seat”. My approach to yoga is to take that seat WITH my students, however they show up to class, with whatever experience they are bringing to the mat. Whether you’re feeling relaxed or anxious, have a calm mind or out-of-control monkey mind, have been practicing yoga for years or are brand new, buddy, I got you! I have been practicing yoga for over 25 years, am a RYT200 yoga instructor, and have a background as a minister for women struggling with addiction. Nothing brings me more joy than coming alongside others as we explore all of the limbs of yoga, because after all, life is just one big yoga pose! Join me on the mat as we learn to move through it with steadiness and ease.
Tanum
Hiii! My name is Tanum! I’m a 200-hour RYT, and my yoga journey started with a middle school elective. Experiencing the benefits of yoga at such a young age shaped my perspective on how much this practice can offer, both on and off the mat. Over the years, I’ve come to love how yoga encourages me to challenge myself, step outside my comfort zone, and discover what I’m capable of.
I’m passionate about sharing that experience with other Yogis and encouraging them to get curious about their bodies, try new things, and build confidence in themselves along the way. Whether we’re moving through an energizing flow or slowing things down with a gentler practice, I’ll be right there with you, creating space to explore, challenge yourself, and grow at your own pace.
Outside of yoga, I love spending time in nature, playing disc golf, and being around animals. I look forward to connecting with you and can’t wait to see you on the mat!

An IKTYA certified teacher, I have led classes in local studios, fitness centers and private homes since 2016. It is my pleasure to share these beautiful teachings at Sweet Apple Yoga.

Jillian
With over 20 years of experience as a nationally licensed massage therapist, Jillian knows how vital it is for body and energy to move with fluidity and harmony. She grew up dancing emphasizing in ballet and jazz, so movement, dancing, and stretching have always been part of her life. Since Jillian’s first yoga class in 2006, she felt a natural connection to the practice and in 2021 she completed her yoga teacher training. She is excited to share space with you along with what she has learned and continues to learn throughout her journey.
Melissa Sewell
I began to practice yoga about 20 years ago when I was an elementary school teacher and Pilates/group fitness instructor. After I retired from teaching, I did my yoga teacher training through Sacred Roots. I rediscovered a love for teaching combined with a love for yoga. I teach vinyasa and yin yoga for all levels.

Sydney
Hello! I’m Sydney. I grew up in Omaha, Nebraska. I found yoga when I was 17 years old. In fact, when I took my first class I had never heard of yoga before. It didn’t take long for me to realize that yoga made my head and heart space feel better, it taught me that I can do hard things.
I completed my training in 2021 and I’ve been teaching yogis how to be curious ever since. I love to incorporate traditional yoga philosophy and history into our asana (movement) practice. Yoga can be so much more than exercise if you want it to be! So, I like to explore that. I teach vinyasa, hatha, and yin classes. In each of those areas, I like to workshop and have lots of room to play. Yoga is equal parts stillness and strength. In my classes you’ll have opportunities for meditation and mindfulness, with challenging but achievable poses for all levels of yogis. I like to think that our yoga practice in the studio creates space for us to better navigate the experiences of life that can be both heavy and complicated and teach us how to find lightness and ease within them at the same time.
Let’s make more room in life for good things. I look forward to seeing you on the mat!
Raeann
Hi, I’m Raeann, a 200-hour RYT with a deep passion for slowing down and simplifying the sacred practice of yoga. I believe yoga isn’t about pushing to the limit or perfecting a pose—it’s about meeting yourself exactly where you are with compassion and acceptance. In my classes, I create a sanctuary of relaxation where students of all levels can connect deeply with their hearts and minds. I encourage exploration, inviting you to listen to your body and let the poses unfold in a way that serves you best—whether that means using props for support or taking an off-road approach that feels right for you. I’m simply here as a guide; the practice is yours to make your own.
Syd Atencio
I discovered yoga in 2023 and have been hooked ever since. What started as a physical practice quickly became so much more—yoga has transformed my life mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Beyond the asana (posture) practice, yoga has helped me cultivate mindfulness, self-awareness, and a deeper understanding of the thought patterns and behaviors shaped by my past experiences. Through this practice, I’ve gained clarity, freedom, and the tools to navigate life with more intention.

Nicole
Hi, I’m Nicole! I’m a Certified Hanna Somatic Educator, Somatic Yoga Educator, and trauma-informed yoga and meditation teacher. My work focuses on the relationship between the nervous system, muscular tension, and habitual movement patterns. I bring together Clinical Somatic Education, yoga, and breathwork to help people recognize unconscious patterns of tension, develop greater sensory-motor awareness, and find more ease in movement.
My approach emphasizes curiosity over performance, using gentle, intentional movement to explore how the brain and body learn and change. You can join me for monthly Somatic Yoga classes at Sweet Apple Yoga or work with me privately through Clinical Somatic Education sessions at Sweet Apple Wellness.
