Certified and Registered Yoga Teacher, RYT 200
Tiffany received her training from Tammy Lyons and has been inspired greatly by Kim Payne. Her classes are a dance of breath and movement, strength and grace. It will pull you out of a busy mind and into your heart.
What soothes my soul: Being with my husband, kids, and crazy dogs, spending time outdoors, talking and laughing with my family and friends.
“I feel like yoga is a secret treasure. From the outside looking in, it looks like a great way to stretch and strengthen the body. But the real magic of yoga lies under the surface. It has the power to heal a broken heart, to reconnect you with your true self, to improve relationships and to make you an overall kinder person. Yoga is a journey within. There is no way to describe it, I encourage everyone to try it and see where it will take you!” ~ Tiffany

Certified and Registered Yoga Teacher, RYT 200
As a former dancer, I suffer from arthritis, so badly that doctors wanted to put me on pain blockers. I chose yoga instead. Not an easy journey at first, but over a few months, yoga has literally changed my life. This is why I teach yoga, to help others.
I received my 200 RYT (registered yoga teacher) from Krysia Energy University in 2013.
Through this journey I learned to listen to my body, pushing myself but also modifying as needed. And I encourage my students to do the same.
I have an innate passion for living life fully and being of service to others. I have my BSBA (Marketing Major), RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher), Silver Sneakers Certified, MiniYogis Certified, and First Aid/CPR/AED certified. I work full-time, but on evenings and weekends, I teach all ages, from 5 to 95.

Certified and Registered Yoga Teacher, RYT 200
Laura began practicing Yoga in 2014. She is an avid runner and found that yoga played a huge part in a runner’s form, mental control, breathing, flexibility and balance. Over the last few years Laura
discovered that it’s all much more than that. While her practice has helped her grow stronger and more flexible, it brought lessons of mindfulness and gratitude. She finds Yoga inspires her to shine from the heart, open up the soul, and be her most authentic self.
Laura completed her 200-hour Vinyasa Flow training with Carrie Treister Omnipresent Yoga in 2017 and 20 Hour Yin Yoga training with Danielle Mercer International Yoga Trainer, E-RYT 200, RYT-500, YACEP in 2018.
On her Yang side, she loves to combine bold and powerful sequencing with a little bit of sassy and silliness. On her Yin side she loves a gentle restorative practice with a little dose of yin energy and inspiration to help deepen the practice and cleanse the soul.
Laura is also a Reiki Master. Practicing Reiki also allows her to give an additional offering in holistic healing that brings balance to the body and mind.
“I will always be a student of the practice and am deeply grateful for the loving and passionate spirit my teachers have shared with me – and that will share with you.” ~ Laura”

Kate Matos
Certified Kid’s Yoga Guide
Kate has been a licensed massage therapist for 9 years and has a great appreciation for the importance of movement and an active lifestyle. Kate has been practicing yoga for 16 years and feels it is crucial to her physical and mental well-being. Kate started going to mommy and me yoga classes with her oldest son, Finn when he was 6 weeks old and continued as he grew. Finn is now 4 years old and now takes both him and his 2-year-old brother, Kieran, to kids’ yoga classes, as well as incorporating yoga into their daily lives at home.
Yoga has taught her children a fun and safe way to move and stretch, given them ways to calm themselves and deal with stress, and helped to build their confidence. After witnessing the positive impact yoga has had on her own children’s lives Kate wanted to be a part of that for other children. She finished her training with Kids Yoga Guide in the fall of 2014 and has been having a blast teaching yoga to kids since.
“I believe in yoga for all ages. Children today are under so much pressure and I am hopeful that kids’ yoga can give them a bit of joy, as well as a foundation to help navigate life’s many challenges. ” ~Kate
