Emma is skilled at offering both energizing, dynamic flows and deeply restorative sessions, meeting students where they are and helping them find balance in their practice. Her journey to becoming a yoga teacher has been a lifelong one—she grew up in a studio environment, toddling in and out of classes as her mother taught in the studio attached to their childhood home. She has been practicing yoga consistently for 15 years and completed her 200-hour Yoga Alliance certification at Sundara Yoga in 2020. Emma approaches her teaching with joy and enthusiasm, drawing on her diverse movement background as a gymnast, hiker, and dedicated head-stander. She encourages her students to embrace playfulness and lightheartedness in their practice, while offering mindful guidance to help them deepen their connection to body and breath.

Ali first turned to yoga in college for its physical benefits, but after graduating she found herself diving deeper into the practice as a way to unwind, find ease, and restore a sense of calm. After many years of personal practice, she completed her YTT in 2023 and received her pre/postnatal certification in 2024. She enjoys teaching vinyasa, offering fun and dynamic flow classes set to an energizing playlist.

Abbey brings a diverse background to her Thai massage practice, rooted in her four years as a Division I rower at the collegiate level. After graduating, she honed her skills in Colorado, collaborating with a team of expert practitioners at a physiotherapy gym. This pivotal experience not only deepened her understanding of the body's mechanics but also ignited a passion for both the healing arts and specialized strength training for women's health. Most recently, Abbey served as a crew coach at Colby College, simultaneously dedicating herself to training in and practicing Thai Yoga Massage. She has cultivated a deep and personal appreciation for Thai-style bodywork, which she's excited to share with you all.
