Kelly S
Ashtanga, Hatha, Vinyasa
Kelly completed yoga teacher training at Namaste in Farmington in 2001 with Veronica Zador, and has been teaching in the community ever since. She has taught many different kinds of yoga classes from beginner through advanced and she especially loves working with new students as they begin their yoga journey. Kelly does not just teach any one style, rather, she allows the students to influence the intensity and pace of the class based on their abilities and energy. She loves yoga not only for the positive impact it has on her demeanor and physical body, but for the meaningful connections she has made with people through her classes. Kelly's positive and calm spirit sets the tone for a beautiful class experience and her students leave feeling a deep sense of peace.

Kimberly B Hatha, Vinyasa, Meditation, Slow Flow and Ashtanga
Kimberly became serious about Yoga over 20 years ago, when she recognized the innumerable physical, psychological and emotional benefits of the practice. She then decided to get certified in order to be able to share this discipline with others. She completed her 200 hour RYT through LifePower Yoga and then served as a graduate assistant for a second RYT 200 in order to strengthen her teaching skills. Kimberly’s passion is to teach classes that are accessible for everybody and everyBODY, while often peppering her flows with humor to encourage her students to truly enjoy the entire experience of a class. Most recently, she completed a third RYT 200 course in Therapeutic Yoga, which she individualizes for clients who are recovering from injury or trauma, are managing a chronic condition, or who simply want to practice a personalized form of yoga optimized for their bodies and the ‘issues in their tissues.’
Eva S
Meditation, Breathwork
Eva is a wife, auntie, business owner, yoga instructor and dental hygienist. She started practicing yoga 15 years ago and fell in love after her first class. Eva went through teacher training a few years after she started practicing yoga. She loves being able to share her practice with others and help them deepen their own practice. In Eva’s free time she loves to spend time with her husband and family. Summer is her favorite time of year because she can do everything she loves…. Kayaking, Jeeping (yep she’s a jeep girl), hanging out in her pool and just being outdoors.
Sheri B
Hatha, Yin
Sheri began practicing yoga as a form of exercise without awareness of all the gifts yoga had to offer. Over the years, her practice deepened through meditation and the inspiration of many amazing yogis, including Todd Norian, Sarah Powers, Jason Crandell, Ronda Pretzlaff-Diegel, Linda Makowski and Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev. Sheri became a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200), guiding her students through hatha, energetic flow, vinyasa and better backs classes to heal and strengthen the body and open the heart. Additional certification in Yin Yoga brings the opportunity to share this challenging, yet nurturing style of yoga. On her yoga journey, Sheri hopes to share her passion for this ancient practice and offer students the opportunity to blossom and grow, to experience and appreciate the present moment, to find comfort and steadiness in their poses, to breathe and to let be.

Sandra R.
Instructor
Sandra’s yoga journey began over 25 years ago when I took my very first ever class. From that moment forward, I knew I was home, both in my body and spirit. After retiring from teaching in the Waterford School District for 30 years, I attended yoga teacher training at the Asheville Yoga Center in Asheville North Carolina. During my time in the classroom, I received a Trauma Healing Certification and find it deepens my connection to the power of yoga. Off the mat, I am an avid golfer, reader and love to cook. My husband (of 32 years)and I also love to travel, bringing our rescue cats (Owen and Henry) whenever possible.
