Katie Sollid
Hi yogis! My name is Katie Sollid. I started practicing yoga about 6 years ago on a regular basis. I've struggled with lower back issues and yoga has helped to heal me, in more ways then I can mention. I am a registered Yoga Alliance Certified 200RYT through Devanadi School of Yoga and I've completed intensive workshops in Barre, Yoga Sculpt, Yin, Hot Yoga and other yoga related workshops. I am currently working on my RYT500 Training. I'm also a certified Group Fitness Instructor through NETA. I have been teaching fitness classes for 7 years. My goal is to create a healthy, safe and friendly community at Sollid Studios. I continue to practice and grow everyday. This is a wonderful journey. Namaste!
Amber
Hello! My name is Amber Roeker. I have attended group fitness classes for many years and have been blessed to have been introduced to Sollid Studios. My teaching experience is 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 Govenaires Drum & Bugle Corps. I have my Group Exercise Certification, and I enjoy the outdoors, running, traveling and sports in general. I am ecstatic to teach Turbo Kick and Barre!
Emily
My name is Emily Boyd. My experience with teaching is mostly with dance. I own Division Street Dance in Northfield, and have been teaching dance for almost 20 years. I have my Bachelor’s Degree in Dance from St. Olaf College and am certified to teach Stott Pilates. I'm new to teaching Zumba, but I’ve been attending classes for several years. I was born and raised here in Owatonna, and now live here with my husband, two kids, and dog.
Jessica
My name is Jessica Hawkins. I completed my 200 YTT in April of 2020 from Heartwork Studio in Northfield. I teach yoga to my students and offer classes to school staff at Wilson where I teach fifth grade. I live in Owatonna, with my husband Brent and our two boys, Jack, who is a 6th grader, and Graham who is a 3rd grader. We have a mini Golden Doodle named Brewer and love to go to the family cabin in Wisconsin, watch our favorite Wisconsin sports teams, especially the Packers and Wisconsin Badgers Football and Basketball teams.
Joan
My name is Joan Dotson. I am passionate about leading a healthy and active lifestyle and having fun while doing so! I am a Certified Group Fitness instructor. Teaching strength based classes is where my passion lies. I live in Owatonna with my husband and two active boys, and teach preschool when I’m not at the studio. I can’t wait to see you at a class and help you to become a healthier stronger version of yourself!
Kelsey
My name is Kelsey Carlson. I have been teaching Zumba for over 5 years. I am a certified Zumba Instructor, and I also teach Cycling, Strength, and Barre. My husband and I recently moved back to Owatonna after living in Fargo, ND for four years. We have two daughters named Brielle and Bailey.

Krista
Hi! My name is Krista Krogh, I'm 23 years old and I've been practicing yoga consistently for 7 months. Yoga has impacted my life both mentally and physically within this short time frame. I'm planning on going to school this summer to become a RYT200. I've completed several intensive workshop trainings for Yin and Vinyasa. I'm very excited about teaching!
Linde
My name is Linde Wolff. I live south of Owatonna with my husband Scott and 2 daughters, Emma and Annabelle. I enjoy sports and spend the majority of my spare time watching my daughters’ teams or playing volleyball and softball. I have been a fitness instructor since 2011, teaching Zumba, Boxing, and Turbo Kick. My favorite thing about being an instructor is the people. I have a lot of friends that I have met here and really love the feeling of community that the studio offers.
Jess
Hi, my name is Jess Williams. My love affair with yoga began during the 2020 pandemic. Prior to that, I had dropped into classes here and there, but never had a consistent practice. With gyms closed, and time on my hands, I decided to finally satiate my curiosity and start learning more about yoga, and once I started I didn’t want to stop. I attained my RYT 200 in February of 2021. I have always loved moving my body and staying active, but what I love most about yoga is the emphasis on listening to what your body needs, and honoring whatever that is. This idea, a breath of fresh air in contrast to the over cultural message of “no pain, no gain,” has completely changed the way I approach my wellness practice. My goal for each class is to create a safe space- free of judgment and comparison- where you feel free to listen to and honor your body’s needs.
Molly
My name is Molly Titchenal and I have been teaching fitness classes since 2010. I have my personal training certification and am certified in Cycling, PiYo and hold my 200 RYT (yoga training). I often get asked what my favorite class is to teach and my response is always that there isn't a particular format I like best but the energy of the class that makes it great! I am mom to two boys, William and Jack, and have been married to my husband Eric since 1998. I also enjoy running, reading and traveling.
Nicole
My name is Nicole Wobschall. I’ve had the same job my whole life which is selling Toro lawnmowers. When I saw Sollid Studios 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.
