Owners

Katie Berg

Hi!  My name is Katie Berg, and I am one of the owners of VIBES. I am married to Jake Berg, we have two amazing boys Jack and Ty, and two fur babies Mick and Daly.  First of all, let me thank you for taking the  time to visit our website, and for learning more about us. My personal journey with yoga and fitness started years ago and has greatly evolved.  I decided to become certified in yoga for my own mental health and then decided I had to share how amazing it was with others! I expanded my  training into Group Fitness and Cycling, and love teaching all classes, but Yoga will ALWAYS be my passion. Currently I am a certified Yoga Teacher through Yoga Alliance RYT500 Yoga Alliance, and have my Group Fitness/Cycling certification with NETA. I can’t wait to meet you, and have you join our amazing community that is VIBES. 

Stephanie Hanson

Hi! I’m Stephanie Hanson, and I am the co-owner of VIBES. We strive to create a welcoming community at VIBES, and we would love for you to be a part of it! I live in Owatonna with my husband Chad, our kids Carter, Sophie and Colby, and our Aussie Doodle Cosmo. I fell in love with group fitness when I started attending classes after my youngest was born. I was hooked and began teaching a couple years later. I hold my 200RYT Yoga and Group Exercise Certifications, along with several other specialty certifications. I teach Yoga, Pilates Reformer, Cycling, Barre, Turbo Kick, Strength/Bootcamp, and Zumba. I love to help people work towards their goals and have fun during the process. My goal is to make classes fun for everyone!

Hello! I have attended group fitness classes for many years and have been blessed to have been introduced to VIBES. I have my Group Exercise, Barre Connect and Drum Fit Certifications.  My previous teaching experience before fitness was coaching and writing choreography for local High School Marching Band colorguard sections. Outside of teaching, I had performed many years in the colorguard section of the Govenaires Drum & Bugle Corps. I enjoy the outdoors, running 5k's to half-marathons, traveling and sports in general. I teach Barre, Drum Fit, Zumba and Turbo Kick.  My goal is to make you love the classes so you never want to miss a week!

 My fitness journey began five years ago in  New York City, where I discovered the magic of Pilates-inspired workout classes. The perfect blend of low-impact yet high-intensity movements had me hooked from the start. As I explored different styles across the city, my passion only deepened. While most of my practice has been rooted in contemporary Pilates, I recently ventured into Classical Pilates—and, no surprise, I absolutely loved it! Every session brings new insights, and I’m constantly excited to expand my knowledge and skills. My mission is simple: to make fitness accessible, fun, welcoming, and inclusive for everyone. I’m proud to be part of a studio that shares this and so much more, and I can't wait to help others discover the joy and strength that Pilates can bring!

 I stepped onto a yoga mat for the first time in 2002 to rehabilitate a dance injury. During the course of recovery, I not only regained agility and healed, but cultivated a practice, discovered a passion, and that passion eventually led me to complete my yoga teacher training. I love a good Vinyasa flow and find balance with the deep healing of a Yin practice.

As an RYT 200 Yoga Teacher and Practitioner, it’s my mission to help you create a deeper level of self-awareness and cultivate a healthy, loving relationship with your mind, body, and soul that will serve you both on and off your mat.

 Hi! I began dancing when I was three years old, and I’ve been passionate about movement and wellness ever since. I love running, weight training, hiking, yoga, rock climbing, and just about anything that keeps me active! I graduated from UW-Stevens Point in 2021 with a BA in Dance, and I’m certified in mat and Reformer Pilates through Balanced Body. I strive to make Pilates accessible and fun for all of my students. In my teaching, I emphasize form, breath work, and challenging the body within its limits. One of my favorite aspects of teaching is helping people feel stronger, more confident, and overall happier and healthier in their bodies.

When I saw VIBES was looking for more instructors I decided I needed a fun “side gig.” I’ve been taking classes at the studio since 2012 and I absolutely love it here. Exercise is so beneficial to the body and mind, it’s my number one stress reliever. I recently moved out in the country with my husband, daughter and our dog and we are enjoying the country life. We try to spend as  much time on the lake as we can in the  summer.

I started my yoga journey in 2002, when my friend had a baby.  She enticed me into taking a beginner yoga class.  I began using the tools I had learned in class "off my mat".  It was the first time I found a practice to be so powerful in connecting my mind, body, and spirit.  It was something I had never experienced before, having a dance background.  In 2016, I completed the 200-Hour Teacher Training at Heartwork Yoga in Northfield.  I received my Meditation Certificate through Normandale Community College and Barre Certificate at Six Degrees in Minneapolis.  These trainings were truly transformational and life changing experiences.  One of my must do's on vacation is to take or teach a yoga class.  My favorite locations are New York City, Sedona, Costa Rica & Italy.  My goal is to teach my students breath work, flexibility, peace, harmony, mindfulness and to shine their light.  Metta, Peggy

 Hi Friends!

Fitness is about so much more than exercise for me. It has truly shaped who I am as a person and who I am as a mother. It’s all about BALANCE! I started teaching cycling classes in 2018. Crowds and music are the BEST! It is so refreshing and

rewarding to see all of the sweat and smiles when people leave classes or finish a race

 Hi Friends!

Fitness is about so much more than exercise for me. It has truly shaped who I am as a person and who I am as a mother. It’s all about BALANCE! I started teaching cycling classes in 2018. Crowds and music are the BEST! It is so refreshing and

rewarding to see all of the sweat and smiles when people leave classes or finish a race. In addition to teaching classes I enjoy running, biking, hiking and traveling with my family. I am a mom to two boys William, Eli and a bonus mom to two girls, Kathryn and Olivia. Yes! We stay

busy!! Looking forward to seeing everyone at class!!
