Yoga is not just the poses, it's the gift we give ourselves to open our hearts and explore grounding, centering, balance and flexibility at any level. I'm so excited to share my Mat with You. "Yoga is the dance between the light and the dark within you. The light is what brings you back to the mat and the darkness is what you uncover there.

Rooted in power flow and reborn in restorative, Kate’s class is a balance of working hard and letting go. Prior to a life changing injury Kate trained at a 200 HR YTT with emphasis on power and she dug deeper into Baptiste’s style.

By melting together all she has gathered Kate aims to guide a flow that moves your body, improves your mindset and mends your mood.

Megan started her yoga journey at the age of 20. She stumbled upon a class at her gym, grabbed a mat and began her journey to what would become a lifelong love of practicing yoga. Certified to instruct in 2013 in Costa Rica by her teacher Marianne Wells, in the BKS Iyengar style, a daily routine of movement of breath, body, and stillness of mind are just as important as water or food to this yogi. Happy to be a part of Manipura and constantly learning and remaining teachable.

Laurie’s journey into yoga began in 2009 while seeking relief from scoliosis. Laurie’s scoliosis took a turn for the worst while spending many years in a desk job. Sitting for long periods of time compressed her spine increasing her curvatures and creating severe muscular tension & imbalances.

Practicing hot yoga not only allowed her to focus on her breath alleviating stress in her body, it also increased circulation, improving blood flow to stressed muscles. The physical practice of yoga has helped Laurie create more length and symmetry in her body & her spiritual practice of yoga has helped her to accept and embrace her scoliosis without judgment finding contentment in her imperfect body. Laurie received her 200 hour RYT in 2020 and looks forward to furthering her journey as a teacher as well as a life-long student.
