Appleton Yoga and Wellness was created in June 2023 by Elisabeth Potaczek and Ty VanderVelden. We came together to support a yoga community we were both a part of, Elisabeth as a student and teacher and Ty as student and sound healer. Our goal was to continue providing yoga and sound healing sessions while also growing into other aspects of wellness and whole body wellbeing.
Elisabeth has been on her yoga journey for 25+ years and active most of her life. Her love of fitness and its benefits led her to a bachelor’s degree in Health Promotion and Wellness. She earned her 200 hour training from Empower Yoga and loves sharing all aspects of yoga with her students. In her classes you’ll be encouraged to find your breath and ease in poses, even when they’re physically and mentally challenging, as well as incorporate your practices off the mat. With an emphasis on learning and anatomy, you’ll walk away knowing your body and mind on a deeper level.
Ty has practiced yoga since 2017. His hobbies include woodworking and kayaking. After attending sessions at Sunny Side Up Yoga for several years, he was introduced to sound bathing at a studio event. He was amazed and quickly studied and became CMA certified in Sound Heading and crystal singing bowls. As co-owner of Appleton Yoga & Wellness, Ty hopes to bring more calm and relaxation into your life, through music and meditation.
