Who We Are

Renee Schmetzer is the owner and guiding force behind SolRise Yoga, a boutique yoga studio rooted in community, authenticity, and mindful living. Originally from Seattle, Washington, Renee and her husband Andy Schmetzer have built a life centered on family, movement, and meaningful connection. Together they are proud parents to four daughters and one son, grandparents to their beloved granddaughter Adaline, and devoted pet parents to their French bulldog, Macy.

As a yoga teacher, Renee offers a soulful, accessible approach to yoga that blends Vinyasa, Yin, Restorative, Yoga Nidra, breathwork, and meditation. Her teaching philosophy honors the belief that yoga is for every body and every stage of life. Classes are thoughtfully designed to support the nervous system, encourage self-awareness, and create space for both strength and softness—on and off the mat.

Deeply inspired by nature, lunar cycles, yoga philosophy, and feminine wisdom, Renee invites students to slow down, listen inward, and rise with intention. Beyond the studio, she finds joy in hiking, art, and animals, all of which shape her creative, compassionate teaching style. SolRise Yoga is an extension of her life’s philosophy: to live with presence, lead with heart, and rise together as a community.
