Alex first began practicing yoga as a curious teenager growing up in San Francisco, but being a stocky and inflexible soccer player, many of the poses felt out of reach. Along the way, she met incredible and encouraging teachers who showed her that yoga has many more layers to discover. This took her on a journey to explore the spiritual, mental, and physical benefits of incorporating yogic practices as a way of daily life. She holds a 500-HR YT certification and a 200-HR meditation teacher certification. Alex is also trained in trauma-informed yoga and brings these teachings of inclusivity, respect, and embodiment into all her classes.

Deborah’s Path into yoga and meditation began after reading a book from Ram Dass “Grist from the Mill” A spark was ignited and her spiritual journey began to unfold. This was a natural progression being a lifelong lover of dance, movement and the metaphysical. She found that all the answers we need reside within our own stillness.

Shortly after moving to California from the Midwest in 2017, Dani received her 200hr YTT from School Yoga Institute. In 2021, she received her 500 YTT from Lakshmi Rising. Since then she has been "on a mad quest to learn and share everything about yoga!" Recently back from 150 hours of specialized training in Yin and Yoga Nidra, she is especially excited to share these practices and help people incorporate them into their lives.
Her unique talents lie in breaking the physical and spiritual aspects of yoga down into tangible, easy to digest pieces. She brings her concrete knowledge of neuroscience, anatomy, and the yoga sutras to each class and delivers the information with a healthy dose of humor and relatability.
She is passionate about making health and wellness resources available to everyone and creating a safe space that celebrates and supports diversity in all its forms.

Cindy teaches hatha-aligned and vinyasa flow yoga to calm and settle the mind. She teaches humans how to become stronger and less stressed through empowering yoga and meditation practices.
Cindy’s passionate about creating a welcoming space for Queer, Trans, Non-Binary, BIPOC humans and mentoring teenagers, pre-teens, and children. Cindy approaches all sessions with trauma-informed and mindfulness-based practices by incorporating safe meditation, breathwork, flow, and pose-holding.
She takes what she learns as a high school English teacher (for 17 years!) to craft yoga and meditation experiences for overwhelmed people. Cindy’s students are better able to confront the daily challenges they face by learning to recognize and regulate their emotions and reactive responses – through a strong yoga and meditation practice.

Being able to offer aerial classes is exciting to me and I hope you’ll feel the same way too. What looks intimidating at first will calm you in the end. What turns you upside down will make you feel invigorated. What touches your skin will help you sink into a deep relaxation. What’s bottled up inside of you will gradually release as you let gravity claim you.
