Colleen WyattRYT 200

Whether you're brand new to movement or a seasoned athlete, Renee meets you exactly where you are. Catch her on Mondays and Thursdays.
MarciaRYT 200 & 300
Yoga Instructor
Marcia's path to yoga began not in a studio, but in the quiet space that opened up after raising six children. A beach yoga class on vacation sparked something she couldn't ignore — and she never looked back. She completed her 200-hr YTT at Soma Yoga Institute in 2021, followed by a 300-hr training, and has since added certifications in restorative yoga, somatics, trauma-informed yoga, yin, yoga nidra, chair yoga, and sound healing. Marcia weaves gongs, crystal singing bowls, and percussion into many of her classes, creating an experience that is as deeply felt as it is beautifully heard. Her mission: to reach the people who never thought yoga was for them. Marcia teaches Vitality Yoga and Yoga Nidra (Restorative with Sound Healing) on Wednesdays at 9:30am.
Shaun LallyRYT 200
Qigong & Yoga Instructor
Shaun has been immersed in the healing arts for over 25 years, first encountering Tai Chi and Qigong through his martial arts training at an early age. His yoga journey began in 1996 and led him to initiation into the Kundalini Maha Yoga tradition, followed by his 200-hr YTT. He blends yoga, Qigong, martial arts, and meditation into a uniquely grounded approach to personal development and empowerment — one that meets students exactly where they are. Shaun also offers Reiki. Join him for Qigong every Tuesday at 10am — a gentle, flowing practice often called "meditation in motion," perfect for all levels.
