Wendy Reese is a 200 hour Registered Yoga Teacher and certified Personal Trainer. She graduated from Northern Arizona University with a bachelor's degree in Physical Education with an emphasis in Corporate Wellness in 1993.

Wendy opened Peace in the City (originally balance: the yoga room) in September 2003. What started as a simple space to do yoga has metamorphasized into a "mobile" studio commited to bringing peace and good health to its students. It is more than just yoga; it is about community. She saw and felt a need for a center of community where people came come together and belong, to feed the body, mind, and spirit. Paul Hawkins said, “Always leave enough time in your life to do something that makes you happy, satisfied, even joyous. That has more of an effect on economic well-being than any other single factor.”

She is an adjunct faculty member at Paradise Valley Community College and Phoenix College. She has completed two marathons and one half-marathon. In addition to running, free time is spent reading, photography, writing, collecting quotes, cooking, and taking care of her mother, and spending time with friends.
