Our Instructors
Ki Strong
Ki began her yoga journey in Dallas 24 years ago.
She began taking classes at various fitness clubs and studios, then became interested in Ashtanga yoga.
In 2013, Ki was certified (200 ytt) through Birmingham Yoga, under her teacher Akasha Ellis.
Ki has facilitated yoga experiences at gyms, studios, retreats, parks, event centers and even a Spartan Cruise!
She has taught kids yoga, mommy and me, partner yoga, restorative, vinyasa flow, Kundalini and Ashtanga. She has worked with CrossFit and MMA athletes, 91 year old grandmothers, and everyone in between! After teaching for several years at various venues in Coalgate and Ada, Ki finally found a permanent home for Yoga Circle Ada right here on 12th street downtown.
Currently working on her 500hr yoga certification, Ki looks forward to teaching teachers and expanding the presence of yoga in Ada.
Katrina McCurdy
Katrina McCurdy has been living in Ada with her beloved husband, daughter, and Boston Terriers on their hobby farm for over 20 years. She has dabbled in yoga for decades but fell in love with the Yoga Circle community and classes prompting a more disciplined practice. Her other passions include knitting, gardening, and reading poetry. Her favorite pose is pigeon, which is great for hips and the lower back. You will see her at St. Luke’s church most Sundays and leading some of the Noon Namaste classes. She completed her 200hr YTT certification in 2022.
Leeah Marie
Leeah Marie is a country girl from Francis, OK and is a lifelong Ada area resident. She has 3 children, and has even become a Yaya to her first sweet grandson! After back surgery made her reevaluate her life choices, she decided to try yoga. She attended Backwoods Music Festival on her birthday in 2014, where she joined a yoga group in the grass every morning. She fell in love with yoga and practiced at home by herself and with online leaders. On her birthday in 2016, Ki encouraged her to lead her first class, and has been sharing it with others since. A nature lover, hiker, and solo adventurer at heart, she attended her first yoga retreat in Santorini, Greece in 2017. There have been many beautiful Mentors in her life for whom she is grateful. She completed her 200hr teacher training in spring of 2023. You will often see her stop-drop-yoga in her favorite pose Sirsasana (headstand.) Come join her Sunset Flow multiple times a week at Yoga Circle.
