I started my yoga journey in college, drawn to how it helped me feel grounded and strong. I completed my Sculpt YTT with CorePower Yoga and began teaching in summer 2021. For the past four years, I’ve led classes that blend strength, mindfulness, and movement. In 2024, I completed the Strength X intensive, a format combining HIIT and strength training. I also founded Flowtastics—a wellness community, rooted in creating girlhood through yoga and events, supporting woman-owned businesses and nonprofits. Since fall 2024, I’ve hosted pop-ups across Boston, from rooftop flows to creative art-making and aerial silks. Additionally, I recently earned my Master’s in Counseling from Lesley University and have worked with kids for many years. I'm passionate about combining yoga and counseling to support youth well-being. Come to my class as I always love seeing new faces!

Aisha’s story is one of deep connection to her roots, her community, and her purpose. Born in Miami and Cuban/Costa Rican, she carries the vibrancy, warmth, and resilience of her culture into everything she does. Her teaching is a reflection of both her heritage and her heart. Her approach to yoga is holistic and heart-centered, rooted in service, healing, and connection. Aisha believes yoga is more than movement . It is a pathway back to harmony within the body, clarity within the mind, and alignment with the spirit. Her classes invite students into a practice that nurtures both body and soul, offering not just movement, but an experience of coming home to oneself.

Running and swimming competitively for years, teaching elementary school, and chasing my 3 young kids around led me to my first yoga class about 10 years ago. I was constantly on the go and not very present for myself or those around me.  Something in me kept bringing me back to my mat. I was beginning to become more aware of how yoga was the magic connection of the mind, body, and soul.  Meditative breath work, focusing on strengthening postures, and enjoying the benefits of a restful savasana taught me how to steady myself on and off the mat. I kept going to yoga classes because I felt a shift after each class and I wanted and needed to keep feeling good! I was eager to deepen my practice and knowledge even further, therefore I completed my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2022 and have been teaching all levels vinyasa flow yoga ever since!  In addition to teaching adults yoga, I am also a certified children's yoga instructor.  I love guiding people of all ages on their yoga journeys and meeting them wherever they are at on their mats!

I have lived in West Roxbury for nearly 15 years, and I love the area as well as surrounding neighborhoods. My love for yoga began at a little studio in West Roxbury called, ‘Yoga for You’, a Bikram studio. I loved the classes, the heat, the instructors, and the community it created. Many years later after being introduced to a Vinyasa style of yoga I quickly became interested in this brand new (to me) style of yoga! My certification began as a quest to learn more about the practice as well as to one day teach it.

Eleni is a Boston native who believes yoga is a practice of the self and for everyone. With over a decade on the mat, she found her footing in yoga during a season of change, discovering that the practice was her most reliable way to stay grounded in herself and in the way she shows up in the world. She helps students bridge the gap between their physical bodies and their inner selves through openness and grounding. Whether you are navigating life's shifts or simply looking to feel good, join Eleni in this forever practice: one that exists both on and off the mat.

Sonia Basauri Lydon first discovered yoga in 1999 as a way to alleviate the severe back pain that was brought about from a lifetime of scoliosis. The therapeutic effects of yoga, and the overall balance that it brought about in her body, amazed Sonia, and from then on she was inspired to deeply pursue and evolve her yoga practice. Through teaching yoga, Sonia hopes to spread happiness and the desire for all to “live a beautiful life” – an ideal that she learned from her father, who always chose a path of joy and love for his own life. She is grateful to her teachers for their yogic wisdom, and to her family for helping her to find the beauty in life’s most unexpected places.

Yoga has been a steady support in my life since graduating college in the late 90s. I began my journey with more athletic forms of yoga, including Bikram and heated Vinyasa. Over time, as I moved through different stages of life, from pregnancy to being a new mom and now into midlife, my practice has naturally shifted and evolved to include more restorative practices. My teaching emphasizes mental and emotional balance as much as bringing physical comfort to your body. When I am not teaching, I work one on one with clients in my private yoga therapy practice in J.P. My love for learning has led me to many certifications over the past 20 years, including a 200-hour YTT from YogaSpirit Studios in 2005, 500-hour YTT from Barbara Benagh, and a 600-hour Yoga Therapy certification from Phoenix Rising in 2020. Additional certifications include Trauma-Informed Yoga Therapy Training, Thai Yoga Massage, Restorative Yoga Teacher Training, The Art of Assists, Yoga for Anxiety and Depression, and Reiki Level 1.

I received my 200 hour YTT certification through LifeTime Athletic in 2019 after practicing for many years and wanting to deepen my practice. Many people feel they aren’t good at yoga but I believe there is no good or bad way to “do” yoga. It’s not about flexibility or athleticism, although both of those will improve with yoga. It’s about connecting with yourself through breath and movement and calming your mind. The practice is just that, a “practice” and every class is a journey of self discovery and awareness. It all starts with coming to your mat and I hope to see you there!

Natalie’s yoga journey began in college through athletics, when she discovered yoga as a powerful tool for recovery. After years of teaching group fitness, becoming a mother, and navigating her own health journey, she found her way back to the practice with a renewed sense of purpose. Following a transformative retreat in Colombia and completing her 200-hour training, Natalie began sharing yoga with others. She is currently pursuing her 300-hour certification and is also certified in Breathwork and Yoga Nidra. Her classes offer a welcoming space to move, breathe, and reconnect, while inviting students to challenge themselves physically and mentally and quiet the chatter of the mind.

Lisa began her yoga journey in 2004, when her husband was deployed to Iraq. During that uncertain and challenging time, yoga offered her a sanctuary from a busy and worried mind. Over time, the physical practice became secondary to the meditation, breathwork, and self-reflection that a yogic path revealed. What began as a way to find steadiness became a lifelong practice of coming home to herself. In 2014, Lisa deepened her practice through a 200-hour yoga teacher training, followed by a 300-hour training the subsequent year, both rooted in vinyasa yoga. These experiences opened the door to a deeper exploration of the connection between movement, breath, and awareness. In her classes, Lisa creates space for students to explore their own practice beyond the physical. Her intention is to help students move with awareness, release what is no longer needed, and discover the strength and steadiness to follow their own path.
