Rachel
Rachel has been practicing yoga as long as she can remember having discovered her mom’s
VHS tapes (remember those 
) as a child. She was certified as an RYT in 2020 & in 2021
certified in the 26x2 hot yoga style. Her classes are grounded in anatomy & alignment, focusing
on safely building postures to achieve the benefits while working towards the ultimate
expression of the pose. She reminds her students that every body looks and moves differently
and that understanding one’s own body, using props & modifications, helps them find the
posture in their own way, safely & effectively.
She teaches a variety of styles, Hatha, 26x2/Bikram, Yin, Restorative, Vinyasa, Power, Chair,
Mediation & Yoga Nidra. She brings elements of different styles into her classes to introduce her
students to some of the other amazing aspects of Yoga, beyond just Asana practice.
When not practicing & teaching, she spends her time exploring the outdoors with her husband
and dog, growing her own food forest here in the desert, and reinventing furniture & other
objects giving them a new life.

Ricky
I started regularly practicing yoga in 2023 as a means of physical exercise. Over time yoga
became more than just a workout. I fell in love with the practice and deepened my
understanding by completing a 200-hour training at local Phoenix studio Sweatshop on Central
in 2024. Yoga has provided a sense of grounding and community for me. The practice even
helped me realize my passion for functional movement, which led me back to the healthcare
space after working in the financial sector for a few years. Currently, I am working on my
doctorate in physical therapy at NAU and am looking forward to integrate my learning of yoga
into a future career as a physical therapist.
In my class I aim to create a space where you can take a moment for yourself. As my mentors
have said to me, one of the hardest parts of yoga is just showing up to your mat. I look forward
to sharing this beautiful practice with you and hope that you leave class feeling at least one
percent better than when you arrived.

Alonso
Arizona native ,at a crucial turning point in my life, I made the decision to embark on a dedicated journey of yoga practice. This transformative choice has had a deep impact on every aspect of my life. With my focus primarily on vinyasa-based flow, I completed my training during the winter of 2022, and I conducted my inaugural class on Valentine's Day in 2023.
My teaching philosophy revolves around the essential elements of alignment, breath, and fostering a profound connection with one's own body. I firmly believe that human potential knows no bounds, as long as individuals possess unwavering self-trust. Consequently, I passionately encourage my students to safely explore their personal boundaries, embracing challenges as opportunities for growth, while simultaneously cultivating a positive inner dialogue that serves as a catalyst for overcoming self-imposed limitations.
In my classes, you can anticipate a nurturing environment that promotes encouragement and authenticity, allowing you to truly be yourself. By the conclusion of each session, you will experience a deep sense of contentment and inner peace that can only be described as blissful.

Hailey
In every season of life, the hammock offers a space to play, breathe, and reconnect with ourselves. In this class, we will explore a variety of yoga poses with the assistance of the aerial hammock, mindfully working towards the option of inverted poses. My goal is to create supportive environment where you can deepen your practice, build strength, and find balance.
Jenn
I first discovered Pilates in 2023, and it instantly clicked for me—not just as a way to get stronger, but as a practice that really helped clear my mind and make me feel more grounded. The transformation I felt was so powerful, it inspired me to go all in and pursue Pilates full-time as a certified instructor in 2025. To me, Pilates is more than just a workout; it’s a way to feel good in your body, calm your mind, and create a positive ripple effect that carries through your day—on and off the mat. I’ve trained in the core principles of Pilates, learning directly from the philosophy of Joseph Pilates, whose words “change happens through movement, and movement heals” truly resonate with me. My goal is to create a space where everyone feels welcomed and empowered to explore their body’s full potential, while discovering the mental clarity and balance that comes from mindful movement. When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me hanging out with my husband, daughter, and our pets, enjoying the outdoors, or cozying up at home. I can’t wait to guide you in discovering the strength and peace Pilates can bring to your life—physically, mentally, and beyond!
