After a few years without dance, he ended up rekindling his love through pole and sensual movement. A couple months into taking classes at the Salt Mine, he was hooked on pole.

Morgan Starkebaum
Morgan Starkebaum

Morgan has been teaching group fitness classes since 2017. She participated in her first yoga class as a teenager, but it was not until a skiing accident that she began to fully explore the practice. After surgery and months of physical therapy, it seemed like she would never regain the flexibility and strength that she had prior to her injury. That is, until she began to incorporate yoga into her rehabilitation program. With consistency came a return to normalcy and eventually, she surpassed her pre-surgery abilities. After seeing these significant changes, Morgan decided to take a gap year in her collegiate studies to pursue her love of yoga with a 200-hour teacher training. This training then motivated her to receive a degree in kinesiology and instruction certificates in suspension training, indoor cycling, and personal training. Her main goal is to make fitness accessible to all bodies and ability levels. When she is not teaching or training you can find her at the rock-climbing gym, hiking in the mountains, or curled up with a good book.
