When asked what she loves the most about yoga, Sarah loves how much we can benefit from doing our practices when we keep a routine, the changes our whole selves go through when we stay in the moment and when we work on what is in front of us, a whole new heightened of awareness comes to us. She believes our bodies love exercise. They love good, healthy, whole foods and when we take care of our bodies, our bodies take care of us. |

Mary's devotion to yoga rests in part on the giving nature of it. That is, the more yoga is practiced, the more gifts it bestows. Her focus is on yoga as a map to wellness: the physical practice of building strength, flexibility, and balance may also translate into a metaphor for everyday life. This is also her focus in teaching. She enjoys creativity in yoga sequences--sometimes incorporating dance elements that provide similar benefits--and a relaxed class atmosphere in which laughter is encouraged.
Practicing yoga since 2002 and undergoing teacher training through Integrative Yoga Therapy in 2006, Mary has been guided by teachers including Joseph Le Page, Lilian Le Page, Ellen Shaffer, and Joyce Anue and continues to attend additional training when she can. She is a registered yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance. |

Lindsay started practicing yoga 5 years ago after a close friend invited her to a class. Despite being nervous, she soon found that her true passion was waiting for her on the mat. "I love my relationship with yoga! It has brought me stillness within the chaos, silence within the noise."
Lindsay loves brining the physical as well as spiritual benefits of yoga to others. She finds joy in helping others find a mind/body connection through pranayama (breath), vinyasa (movement) and asana (posture/alignment). "There is a yogi in everyone and I feel very special when I get to guide people through their own journey with yoga."
