Kumbi Butler

Kumbi was born in South Korea, adopted at 4 and raised in Boulder, Colorado. Growing up very active and outdoorsy she always had a passion for health and fitness. She started practicing yoga as a teenager to heal a lower back injury from gymnastics and she was transformed- physically, mentally, and spiritually. After certifications in personal training, coaching, and group fitness, her first yoga training was with Stephen Earth (Earth's Power Yoga) in 2003 followed by a 500hr Viniyoga therapy training with Gary Kraftsow in 2008. Kumbi’s yoga classes incorporate ritual, music, astrology, philosophy, psychology, breath work, and meditation with a strong emphasis on personal empowerment and healing. Her fitness classes deliver a well-balanced challenge with a fun, playful, inclusive energy. She has owned Heartbeat House Dance Workout studio (heartbeathouse.com) in Los Angeles since 2010 (sold in August of 2023) and recently it’s online studio, Heartbeat2Go (heartbeat2go.com), launched in Spring 2020 (currently being updated).  Kumbi is currently the Fitness Manager at the Jonathan Club (JC.org), an exclusive social club in Los Angeles, as well as the Yoga Ambassador for lululemon (2024-2026).
