Our Team

Meet Kelsey Kuecker, founder and instructor at The Broadleaf Yoga Studio. Her journey with yoga began when she was sixteen years old and as cliché as it might sound, yoga truly saved her life. Since that day, her mat has been her home base a place she returns to again and again to reconnect, release, and rediscover herself.

After completing her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training here in Wichita, Kelsey spent the last six years sharing her love of movement with others. Yoga became the thread that carried her through seasons of change, helping her rebuild confidence and come home to herself in new ways.

Kelsey’s classes are a blend of strength, mobility, and mindful flow with an emphasis on active flexibility and feeling every inch of the movement. Expect a balance of grounded stillness and a bit of play: maybe a chance to dance around your mat before sinking into a deep squat or heart-opening pose. She loves creating space for you to challenge yourself, let go of what’s heavy, and step into the version of you that feels most at home.

Most of all, Kelsey is endlessly grateful for the community that yoga continues to grow a space filled with authenticity, laughter, and heart.

Sarah teaches a vinyasa power yoga style class. She has spent years learning how to read the room and can build a class, in the moment, that is accessible for everyone, while still feeling lively and challenging the body. If you enjoy energetic playlists and a good, slow burn, then you should give Sarah’s classes a try!

Sarah tried her first yoga class in 2017 and was quickly hooked. She had finally found a healthy way to move her body that felt like more than just a workout. She had always struggled with social anxiety and public speaking, but in 2021, she challenged herself and completed a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training and began teaching classes shortly after. Her confidence didn’t come overnight, but the joy she felt from sharing the beauty of yoga with others fueled her drive to overcome her fears.

If she’s not at the studio, you can find Sarah hosting yoga events around the city, trying every local restaurant, hanging out with her friends, or traveling the world. She would love to chat with you about her cats, Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. 

Yoga found Traci 17 years ago and from her very first class, she fell in love. Traci completed a Yoga Alliance 200-hour YTT in 2020 and has been teaching ever since.  It’s her love and passion.  

Yoga has brought so much love & appreciation for her mind and her body.  When she is on the mat it’s like coming home to self.  It’s been the one constant in her life, always. Yoga has allowed so much space for healing and through the unity and community of the practice she has connected with amazing people and found her front row friends, her tribe.

Come flow together!

Eric developed his passion for yoga as a way to feel good and reconnect with his body. His yoga journey has taken many twists and turns, each one deepening his appreciation for this beautiful practice and the community it creates.

Following the pandemic Eric moved to Los Angeles and worked with world class yoga instructors to develop his practice. In 2023 he traveled to Bali, Indonesia to complete his yoga teacher training and is now a  SequentialBody yoga instructor affiliate (https://www.sequentialbody.com/).

Eric's classes are thoughtfully sequenced and alignment-focused to help you feel safe, confident, and continually growing in your practice.

Karma Dickson is a 200 hr registered yoga teacher (RYT) specializing in Awakening Style Modern Yoga. With a deep appreciation for the ritual of traditional yoga and passion for teaching arm balances and inversions, Karma brings a fun, functional approach to the practice of asana.

Like many, Karma found yoga through the asana practice. With time, her yoga practice started transforming to expand further than the physical practice and incorporating other limbs of yoga.

Her classes focus on balance, mobility, and strength through flow; moving dynamically through sequences that cultivate these aspects, allowing you to enhance your physical and mental practice. Whether you are seeking to deepen your practice, restore balance, or cultivate inner strength, Karma is dedicated to supporting you on your yoga journey.

Courtney Sturm has been a lifelong lover of movement, a passion that naturally led her to her first yoga class in 2009. With over 13 years of teaching experience, she has built a strong foundation in Power Yoga—her primary focus—while also specializing in Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin, and Meditation.

Her teaching journey has taken her from renowned studios in New York City to leading retreats in the serene Catskill Mountains. She has had the privilege of facilitating workshops and classes across New York, Seattle, and the Ozarks. A career highlight was guiding both the men’s and women’s basketball teams at the University of Arkansas.

Whether leading a packed studio or holding space in a one-on-one session, Courtney remains a devoted student of the practice and deeply grateful for the communities she’s cultivated along the way.

Her teaching philosophy is rooted in creating a judgment-free space where movement becomes a form of self-expression. Courtney invites her students to turn inward, embrace curiosity and compassion, challenge perceived limits, and cultivate presence and self-love—on and off the mat.

As a yoga teacher, Jackie feels truly blessed to be part of such a vibrant and supportive community. What started in 2018 as simply moving her body has blossomed into something so much greater. She has gained valuable life skills, cherished friendships, and a deeper understanding of true self-care.

Jackie has over 1,000 hours of training and 500+ hours of teaching experience, making yoga so much more than a workout for her – It’s a way of life. She’s grateful for the opportunity to share this journey with you through the practice of breath, movement, stillness, and healing.
