OUR Story

Helen Terry

Upon becoming a Christian 23 years ago Helen Terry had a desire to bring her profession (as an international body-mind fitness presenter) together with her faith. In 2018, after many twists, turns and doors closed, God revealed how Helen’s 20 years “in the wilderness” with regards how to serve, was simply divine preparation for Helen to align with YogaFaith.

Helen brings a a B.Ed. in Physical Education and Special Needs, a Master’s Degree in Exercise Physiology. She is a second degree Black belt teacher and international teacher trainer in the Nia Technique. Helen is also a certified Body Ecologist and Dance Therapy Specialist.

Chris Disser

After earning a BBA and putting that degree to work in retail and banking, Chris Disser took some time off to raise four children. During that time, she went back to school to get certified to teach. She found she had a gift for teaching (Romans 12:6-9) and after 10 years of teaching high school, decided to make a life change, which included teaching adult fitness classes.

Chris Disser brings 7 years of Yoga teaching experience along with her 200-hour Yoga certification to Soma Ranch. She also has Silver Sneakers and AFAA Group Exercise certifications as well as a very recent NIA White Belt. She loves being able to blend her love of Yoga and dance with her love of the Lord by leading YogaFaith classes.

Natalie Keen

Moving in next door to Helen in 2019, Natalie became fast friends. Through their walks, runs, attending yoga classes and getting together Natalie soon discovered their core commonality was a strong passion for Jesus Christ matched with their desire to serve. When Helen asked Natalie to accompany her on the 200 hour Yoga Faith Certification, she didn’t hesitate to accept.

Natalie brings 20 years of extensive Physical Therapy (developing, choreographing, and implementing multiple land and aquatic therapy based programs for a broad spectrum of clientele). Then, as a military spouse for 15 years, God placed curiosity in Natalie’s heart for the link between individuals suffering with physical pain and mental health manifestations. This inquiry led her to receive a Master’s degree in Licensed Professional Counseling.  Natalie has a passion for helping others find healing through a balanced mind body connection with Christ in the center. Her goal is to support the mission of YogaFaith by empowering brothers and sisters in Christ, to fulfill their unique God given purpose; to live a flourishing and successful Christian life through the power of the Holy Spirit! 

YogaFaith’s Story

YogaFaith was born out of a 21 day fast that founder Michelle Thielen embarks on at the beginning of every year. God led her to Mark 12:30. “Worship the Lord with all your might, with all your strength, with all your being.” This is YogaFaith. We are simply worshiping the Lord with our whole being. Acts. 17:28 Says that in Him we move, we live, we breathe, and we have our being. Whether we are washing dishes, lifting weights, taking a zumba class, or simply stretching, we glorify our maker with everything He has given us. Romans 12:2 reminds us to take our everyday coming and goings, and offer it up as worship and prayer.

At the core of YogaFaith’s mission is our steadfast efforts to end human trafficking and modern day slavery in this generation. Our mission trips, fundraising, store products and event profits do directly to anti trafficking efforts; Raising awareness, rescue of victims, working with survivors and changing laws to protect the survivor and punish abusers. YogaFaith is also passionate about helping homeless, mental health, domestic abuse survivors, sexual abuse survivors, addiction and recovery communities, as well as prison populations. Here we are Lord, send us.
