Cara took her first yoga class as a freshman in college, hoping for an easy A. Having explored many different yogic traditions, from Ashtanga to Bikram to Hatha to Vinyasa to Yin, Cara approaches yoga as an embodied form of mindful awareness, with an emphasis on curiosity, play, and balanced, functional strength and flexibility.
She enjoys infusing her classes with creative transitions, intentional movement, and slow, steady breath to balance and calm the body, mind and nervous system. Sara includes over a decade of yoga and mindfulness meditation in her practice. Her style is described as "Moment-to-Moment Yoga" where she focuses on watering seeds of inclusivity, awareness, playfulness, and approachability. She cares deeply about health care, earth healing, and social and racial equity.
She feels that yoga and meditation are two clear paths to support healthy structural change. Sara dedicates much of her personal time to bringing modalities from her ancestral lineages into her daily life.
She aspires that her classes can be a co-manifestation of community for us to benefit from the healing energies of sangha and asana, together as one. Leanne relocated to New Hampshire from California in and has been practicing yoga for the past 17 years. While her love for yoga began with an asana-based practice, yoga would continually expand and weave into the rest of life. Leanne traveled and studied in Rishikesh, India enriching her practice with the study of Ayurveda and came away with a deeper understanding of yoga.
Leanne strives to offer an opportunity for others to develop confidence in their practice by providing progressive sequencing of foundational asana, allowing space for personal intuitive movement with feedback that is supportive and liberating. Jordana is a glassblower, an educator, a gym junkie and a music freak. She tries to blend what she does with who she is to connect interests and strengths.
