Welcome to Lakeview

I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree of Music Performance and desired to take a break from music and dive into the world of dance. I then began my yoga journey in 2010 while teaching high school dance and moved to Chicago in 2013 where I started as the Choreographer for the South Shore Drill Team. I began my academic approach to yoga in 2018 while working on my Master of Arts in Applied Music Pedagogy where I completed my thesis in Clarinet Yoga: A Holistic Guide to Body Awareness in Clarinet Pedagogy. I also joined the Zen Yoga Garage Yoga Teacher Training in 2020 and am excited to combine my passion of music and movement with the joy of teaching and helping others in the community.

I recently moved from Detroit MI where I earned a bachelor of science degree in dance at Wayne State University. In addition to studying various dance techniques, I had the opportunity to take courses in kinesiology, pilates, and dance pedagogy. After college, I worked as a personal trainer and dance/fitness instructor. In 2019, I obtained a trauma informed training certification to continue to learn how the body connects to our mental/emotional state. At stretchlab, my goal is to help clients continuously learn about their individual bodies and improve how they function in everyday living.

Shane most recently moved from Salt Lake City, UT, where he received his Master in Fine Arts in modern dance from the University of Utah. Shane moved to Chicago to be closer to his sister. He enjoys movement and is passionate about helping people recover so that they may move efficiently and expressively.

Miles Potter has a certification in Personal Training and studied Williamson Movement Technique for Actors at Northern Illinois University. In his spare time he enjoys running, improvising and getting into deep YouTube holes (usually regarding comedy, options trading or motivation). His favorite part about StretchLab is having clients come back after their intro stretch and describing how amazing they felt, what new things they could do and what pain has gone away.

I am a former collegiate athlete, with a degree in Kinesiology from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. I come from a back round of personal training, and basketball skill and development training . I have experience working with athletes and clients of all levels and ages. I look forward to working with you and addressing your fitness and stretching needs.

I am a yoga instructor and was so fortunate to receive my certification in Bali, Indonesia, making for a life changing experience. Before getting into yoga, gymnastics was my whole life from my childhood through college, at Penn State. I am originally from Colorado and love being in nature. Whether it’s hiking, camping, or boating I’m there! Meeting new people from different backgrounds is something I really value, along with being able to connect with others through mindful movements. Thankful to StretchLab for allowing me to explore more of that.
