Trish Schornagel
I began practicing yoga in 2009 as a means to relieve sciatic pain. Within a few weeks, the sciatic pain was gone, and the physical and mental well-being I felt after class kept me coming back for more. Yoga has helped me grow stronger, more flexible and inspires me to live each moment more mindfully. I became a registered yoga teacher in 2012 and I continue to be a student of yoga. I truly believe that yoga is a path to the fountain of youth, as well as a path to overall well-being. My hope is that students step off the mat feeling refreshed, happy and balanced.
Description
This all-levels class will take you head-to-toe(s) through a range of passive and active stretches, and static and dynamic yoga postures to help release muscular tension and improve range of motion. We will build strength, increase flexibility, improve balance, and improve joint mobility. Props and modifications are incorporated to bring new levels of awareness, growth and discovery, as well as, to allow students to find ease and sweetness on their mats. Modifications and guidance are offered for all students at every level, take your practice up a notch or tone it down depending on the day.

Jan Rosehart
I was born and raised in New York State, and life has since guided me to my home in Virginia. I’m married, blessed with four wonderful children, and delighted to be a grandmother to three beautiful little souls.
I am a yoga teacher though, in many ways, I feel yoga found me. While exploring different movement and fitness styles, yoga appeared almost by accident… yet it immediately felt different, familiar, and deeply right. What began as curiosity quickly grew into a lifelong path.
I have been practicing and teaching for several years now, and the learning never stops. My offerings include Yin Yoga, Self Awakening Yoga, an approach that expands consciousness through the body’s innate wisdom and Hatha Yoga. Each style allows me to guide students into deeper awareness, gentleness, and personal transformation.
Yoga continues to evolve with me, and I’m grateful every day for the opportunity to share its healing, clarity, and quiet magic with others.
Description
This class is for everyone. Yin is a slow, meditative practice done on cool bones. This practice is based on three principles called Tattvas.
1. Come to the appropriate depth or edge for you,
2. Settle into a sweet spot, and resolve to stay,
3. Let go, be patient, let time flow.
Yin targets the deepest fascia connective tissue in and around muscles, ligaments and tendons. It is based on the Taoist tradition. Shapes (postures) are held for periods of time beginning with a three minute hold.
"Yin is not supposed to be comfortable and is practiced to the edge of uncomfortable/comfortable." - Bernie Clark. Yin focus is less muscle energy, less movement.

Leslie’s yoga journey began in 2010, initially to support her running practice—helping her body recover, stay balanced, and prevent injury. Over time, she discovered that yoga offers so much more than physical benefits; it nurtures the mind and spirit, providing tools for resilience, mindfulness, and inner peace.
Since 2022, Leslie has been teaching children’s yoga at Brompton Community School, guiding young minds in mindfulness, movement, and self-awareness. In 2023, she began leading chair yoga classes at The Fredericksburg Food Co-op, bringing gentle movement and wellness to participants of all abilities. She also teaches an Introduction to Yoga class at the Brisben Center in Fredericksburg, offering residents a chance to explore how yoga can bring calm, hope, and balance during challenging times.
Leslie’s practice and teaching are deeply inspired by her mentor, Deborah Testa, and her time at Heal Me Yoga. She received her Children’s Mindfulness Certificate in 2022, graduated from her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2023, and completed her Children’s Yoga Teacher Training in 2024.
Grounded in the classical 8 limbs of yoga, Leslie continues to study and refine her practice, bringing a balanced, accessible approach to her classes that integrates strength, flexibility, breathwork, and meditation. Her teaching encourages students of all ages and abilities to discover the physical, mental, and emotional benefits of yoga in a supportive and nurturing environment.
Description
This yoga class is a gentle, accessible practice adapting yoga poses with the use of a chair to eliminate the need to get up and down from the floor.

Chair yoga offers the same benefits of other yoga classes including improved mobility, strength and balance as well as techniques that can be practiced any time or place to bring focus and calm to your mind and body.

Kristen Curtis
With a background in dance, Kristen began her yoga journey at the age of 15 during a dance workshop. The class was more than just physical exercise, it awakened her awareness of body movement, internal energy, and the energy surrounding her. From that moment, she was captivated. At 18, Kristen was introduced to deep meditation through a local meditation group, further expanding her connection to mind, body, and spirit.
Over the years, practicing yoga and meditation with a variety of teachers, through all stages of her life and both of her pregnancies, has brought her balance, strength, and inner peace. In 2017, when her second child experienced colic, Kristen turned to the study of children’s yoga and meditation to support her baby and help her family navigate this challenging time. This inspired her to earn her Children’s Yoga Teacher Certificate and complete her RYT-500, deepening her expertise and teaching skills.
For the past five years, Kristen has been teaching private yoga classes for children and adults, tailoring her approach to meet the unique needs, bodies, and life stages of each student. With an energetic passion for yoga, she believes wholeheartedly that there is a practice for everyone, and that yoga can benefit every body, physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Description
This practice blends a healthy mix of stretching and strengthening poses incorporating loop resistance bands, breath work and ending with a relaxing meditation.

Description
Self Awakening Yoga is an expansion of consciousness through our body's own wisdom.
This practice uses interesting, fun ways of unwinding, tapping, rolling, and thumping to mention a few. It is a practice of awakening prana, the life force, in all of us to bring awareness to and unlock any old and unserving patterns.
It's a practice of inquiry, noticing how we arrive to and through shapes. We query why I am moving this way? What do I feel? Where do I feel it?
It is thru the ASIS principle (awareness if sensation thru internal scanning) that we awaken to ways of change and begin new patterns of healing. We are encouraged to listen to the body as the wisdom unlocks thru the flow of prana, bringing a sense of balance and understanding of our relationship with the breath.
