Neida

Neida started her Yoga path with the goal of "taking 40 by the throat". She pushed herself through heated Hatha styles of yoga growing stronger and more flexible as her practice grew. Her focus was attaining and holding the perfect posture, maintaining balance and alignment. She began taking tougher and tougher classes at a variety of local and distant studios. With eyes towards becoming stronger and better, Neida studied to become a Certified Yoga Teacher.

It was there that she found a match to the Yang of her practice; the gentle Yin of her teaching. Neida has developed a beautiful style at the boundaries of a traditional Western class. She includes the rituals of mudra, breath, and motion in synchronicity - adapting props to encourage the body into releasing. But don't be fooled, she still moonlights as the tough one.

Barbara

Barbara began her yoga journey as a counterbalance to marathon training in the Spring of 2016. Quickly learning that there is much more to yoga than asana work, she began to embrace yogic philosophy striving to incorporate all of Patanjali’s eight limbs of yoga into her life. Barbara completed the 200-hour Hatha and Vinyasa certification program at the Collegeville Yoga Bar in July of 2017 and is a member of Yoga Alliance (RYT-200). She earned her doctorate in Education and enjoys incorporating yoga into her work as a music teacher. Passionate about sharing the benefits of yoga with others, especially those new to the mat, she looks forward to seeing you at the studio!

Marianne

Marianne started practicing yoga eight years ago. She likes to consider herself a gym rat. She lifts weights, and works out regularly with a trainer. Marianne had been very interested in toning and strength training but when she decided to try yoga, she realized what she had been missing... an essential piece to her life. The game changer was yoga. She loved how the Zen relaxation made her feel. It calmed her mind, helped her focus at work, and decreased stress.

As a wife, mother, and owner of Elaina’s Art Gallery, life can get pretty stressful. It was such gift to be able to practice yoga and meditation for Marianne. She was able to enter her fifties in the best shape of her life physically, mentally, and spiritually . Marianne completed 200 hour Hatha and Vinyasa certification program at the Collegeville Yoga Bar in 2017. She attended a weekend workshop with Beryl Bender Birch, the founder of power yoga. She also studied with the late Dr. Shane Line and is certified in meditation and holistic health which is a great addition to Yoga.

Today, Marianne enjoys teaching a Hatha class to beginners, but always offers her students the concept that “It’s your class, it's your yoga practice, and I'm here to serve you.” Her wish for her students is to leave peaceful, calm and ready to tackle their day in a loving way. Marianne enjoys teaching yoga to help people bring themselves back to the grounding breath while they are calming their mind and their spirit with an open heart. Namaste.
