YOGA TEACHER & FASCIAL STRETCH THERAPIST

Annie has been teaching fitness classes since early 2009. She loves giving people the time and space to move their bodies, and enjoy themselves while doing it. She discovered yoga while attending a community college. Liked it, but didn't get "hooked" until a few years later. She completed her 200 hour Yoga teacher training at Yoga Bhoga in Portland, Oregon with Sarah Trelease early 2013 and has been teaching, and learning, ever since.

PILATES INSTRUCTOR & FASCIAL STRETCH THERAPIST

As a teacher I am still a constant student. I am constantly trying to learn and grow myself as a better teacher to better my students experience in class. I am passionate about teaching the classical Pilates method and teaching my students to feel it in there own bodies and use it not just in mat class but take those Pilates principals into their everyday lives for better ease of movement. I am comprehensively trained in the classical style of Pilates in all levels on all the equipment through master instructor Dorothee Vandewalle.

YOGA TEACHER

I have 11 years of personal Yoga practice and my Hatha-based teaching style is welcoming to all experience levels. My goal is to guide those to better themselves by cultivating an inviting, safe, and nurturing environment that allows anyone to practice and thrive in the benefits of Yoga.

YOGA TEACHER & OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST

I started my yoga journey in college as I was studying to become an occupational therapist. I fell in love with the mental health benefits of yoga, and my love for asana deepened as I developed my knowledge of the human body in OT school. I have a passion for making movement accessible for all individuals in a clinical setting and through yoga. Looking at the body holistically, my goal is to facilitate a space that can ease the mind and nervous system, while moving through postures.

YOGA TEACHER

My journey to yoga started with an injury to my neck. I could barely move it for a month and heard a voice inside saying “you need to stretch” since this moment steady practice has guided me through life. I completed my yoga teacher training in September 2020 and have been teaching for almost 2 years. Yoga helps me to be more calm, more intentional, more present, and more compassionate.

I offer a slow flow or Hatha flow type style of teaching with focus on breath and alignment. It is my intention to create a space of practice that offers inspiration, creativity, curiosity, and more body awareness.

C-IAYT YOGA THERAPIST

Staying curious is the foundation of my teachings. I love to study and deepen my knowledge of yoga and other traditions. I bring all of these topics into my classes which enables me to share and connect with students on a variety of practices.

YOGA TEACHER

I have been practicing yoga for many years and although I would stray away from it from time to time to dabble in other fitness genres I always came back to it. I think of this journey as "coming home". Yoga to me is like the house you grew up in. You can walk in, feel right at home, peek inside the fridge and be yourself. If you ask the right questions you can discover hidden truths. It's that safe place where you can learn how to grow and become the best possible version of yourself. I always make sure my students feel "right at home" when they come to my classes.
