Jennifer Mansell, Studio Owner/Yoga Instructor
MSW, CYT
I combine my training in classical Hatha yoga, several years of experience as a competitive runner and triathlete, and 2 decades of experience in the field of mental health to offer a unique practice to students. Using the breath as a guide, benefits include strengthening and purifying the body and mind, decreasing stress and illness, and increasing our capacity for self-compassion.

Alivia Veenstra, Yoga Instructor
My experience with yoga is ever changing, as I flow from rigorous and physical vinyasa classes, to deep and patient yin practices, to soft and healing restorative poses. Each practice serves a different need, but the end result is often the same: greater peace, a stronger body, and a stiller mind. As a teacher, I focus on breath as the catalyst for movement and change, paying particular attention to alignment as I guide you through poses meant to strengthen, soften, and calm.

My intuitive instruction, comprised of a unique and cohesive hybrid of mindful movement, dance, and life coaching, cuts through your blockages and propels you to the next step with uncanny efficiency and grace.

Kaili Blacklock-Hind, Yoga Instructor
Through a lifetime of curious exploration, fascinated by the interconnection between body, psyche, spirit, and nature – I have been drawn to many holistic healing and embodiment practices. It all started with discovering yoga and travelling to the motherland of India 20 years ago, and my journey of self-discovery and facilitating yoga, embodied presence, conscious dance and biodynamic craniosacral therapy has been growing strong ever since.
Sharing my passion for the somatic healing arts, and living a life connected and in deep conversation with nature, is my greatest joy & pleasure.

Taylor Cascanette, Yoga Instructor
I am a human, just like you. I identify as a seeker, survivor and friend. I teach trauma-informed Yoga in community, and love helping people feel safe and empowered while connecting with their bodies.
I believe in creating a safe space to meet yourself wherever you are at. A space to feel respected, at choice, and included. I believe that within this space, we can heal and recover our relationships to ourselves and our bodies. We can find the pieces of ourselves that got lost, and start to reclaim our lives.

Sydney Fletcher, Yoga Instructor
About 5 years ago I quit my full-time design career in pursuit of a dream to become a life coach and yoga instructor. At that time, one of the things that surfaced for me was how much I valued Connection. I’ve taken this value into my practice as a yoga instructor. My prime objective is to inspire others towards a deeper understanding and therefore connection to themselves, to their bodies and to their world.

Catherine Reid, BA, RYT
My very first Yoga class was one of those aha moments. I felt at home, in body and mind, for maybe the first time ever. This was in 1974, and although it took me 30 years to wind up in Yoga Teacher Training, Yoga always wove itself in and out of my life as a trusted support.

Sheron Jutila, Yoga Instructor
I have been sharing my passion of yoga for 16 years, yet I am still in awe of the new things my students and I discover every time we step onto our mats. I love that I will never know everything about this practice. Knowing this keeps me excited, receptive and aware. What might you experience in one of my classes? Presence, trust, growth, peace, freedom, commitment, laughter, rebelliousness, curiosity and acceptance. But… don’t take my word for it – join us and find out for yourself!
