Some people don’t just teach yoga—they build community. Kali Jones is one of those people.
A beloved yogi throughout the Las Vegas Valley, Kali is known not only for her powerful, accessible classes, but for the way she makes people feel: welcomed, supported, and seen. Her presence on the mat is grounding, joyful, and deeply authentic—qualities that naturally extend into everything she touches, including her role as an investor in Mat Marker.
A Yogi Loved Across Las Vegas
Kali teaches yoga all over the Las Vegas Valley (find her at TruFusion Eastern and Blue Diamond locations), sharing her practice with students of all levels and backgrounds. Her classes and events are known for being:
Inclusive and approachable
Intentionally sequenced
Rooted in both strength and softness
Grounded in real-life experience
She has built a loyal following not through trends or hype, but through genuine connection. Students return to Kali’s classes because she creates space—for growth, for rest, and for community.
A Friendship That Started Long Before Yoga
Kali’s connection to Mat Marker runs deeper than business. She and founder Lisa Strawther go back over 13 years, long before Mat Marker ever existed.
They met in the beauty industry, where creativity, discipline, and high-pressure environments quickly forged a strong bond. Their paths intertwined even more when they competed together on a hair and makeup reality TV show called Global Beauty Masters—an experience that tested their skills, resilience, and teamwork.
Through it all, their friendship only grew stronger.
Best Friends Who Create Professional Magic
Lisa and Kali are the kind of friends who genuinely root for each other—and who know how to create magic when they collaborate.
Their shared history means:
Deep trust
Creative alignment
Mutual respect
A shared work ethic
When they come together professionally, it’s effortless. There’s a natural rhythm to how they ideate, build, and support one another—something that can’t be manufactured.
Kali’s decision to invest in Mat Marker wasn’t just about the product. It was about believing in Lisa, believing in the mission, and believing in the power of meaningful, women-led creation.
Why Kali Believed in Mat Marker
As a yoga teacher, Kali understands how personal a yoga mat is. It’s not just equipment—it’s where students show up for themselves, again and again.
Yoga Mat Charms resonated with her because they:
Honor individuality within the practice
Encourage intention and ritual
Offer something truly new to the yoga world
For Kali, Mat Marker represents the same values she brings to her classes: authenticity, creativity, and connection.
Community at the Center of It All
At its core, the relationship between Lisa and Kali—and the spirit behind Mat Marker—is about community.
It’s about:
Supporting one another’s visions
Building something meaningful together
Lifting others up through shared work
Whether on the mat, in business, or in life, Kali Jones embodies the belief that when women come together with trust and intention, incredible things happen.
Mat Marker is proud to have Kali not just as an investor, but as family—and even prouder to be part of the community she continues to inspire every single day.
