Yoga has been a part of Isabella Anderson’s life since she can remember.

With a total of 13 yoga instructors in her family, she has learned so much about the practice and how far it stretches into our daily lives. After graduating from Purdue University, Isabella embraced yoga in the difficult and stressful times in her life. Not only was it great for her body, but her mind learned how to settle and relax. She is so excited to share her passion at Studio Zen. You can catch her teaching any vinyasa style class and behind the scenes of the studio’s social media. She can't wait to see you in class!
Babs Devier
Babs Devier is a fully-certified holistic wellness practitioner based in Madison County, IN, where she lives with her husband and their daughter. When she’s not homeschooling or supporting clients, you’ll likely find her with her family; growing fruit and vegetables, creating art, snuggling cats, or baking something delicious. Successfully navigating her own healing journey inspired her to become a certified Reiki Master and a certified Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) practitioner, as well as being trained in breathwork, meditation, and trauma-informed care. These very tools guided her and now she aims to lead with them .Her specialty is in holding compassionate space for those moving through overwhelm, emotional disconnection, and grief. She meets each client where they are, unafraid to sit in the weeds of life with them, while offering a steady, gentle, return to self through body-based practices and energetic care. Babs is deeply passionate about people, energy work, and our connection to nature, which originally led her to pursue a career in nursing. After soul-searching, long conversations with her husband, and time spent reconnecting with herself, she realized she could serve others in a more heart-centered and fulfilling way. More than anything, she is here to help.
