Coming from a dance background and looking for a way to expand her ‘workout’ routine, Vered took her first yoga class in Israel. She was initially curious about the effects of yoga but did not begin regularly practicing until she was on a three-month trip to India. Each morning, she would start her day with yoga, and her passion for the practice developed through this journey. Vered noticed how yoga supported her physically and emotionally, helping her through back pain. For Vered, yoga is a way of healing. As a mother of three, Vered appreciates how yoga helps her find stillness and remain present both on and beyond the mat—two of the many benefits she hopes to share with her students. After over twenty years of practicing, Vered expanded her understanding of yoga by completing the 200-hour RYT at Stil Studio. She is excited to share her passion for the practice by supporting students wherever they are in their yoga journey. Vered’s love for yoga extends beyond just the practice; she especially enjoys offering hands-on assistance to help students deepen their postures and connect more fully with their bodies. For Vered, yoga is not just about alignment but also about personal connection and growth, both on and beyond the mat, and she hopes to have you in her class!

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!

After years in the pool as a competitive swimmer and miles of endurance running, Colleen practiced yoga as a way to tap into breathwork, stretching, recovery, and  mindset development. Yoga was a way to balance Colleen’s busy routines, which led her to her 200-hour teacher training with LifePower Yoga in 2022 and her Breathwork & Meditation Teacher Training with David Magone. Her focus was to go in deeper, expand her practice, and share yoga with her personal training clients. True surrender to the practice arrived when Colleen was injured with a concussion/ TBI, forcing her to step back from her “normal” routines, social engagements, and activities. During this challenging recovery,  her yoga practice became so much more than a stretch— The practice offered her a sense of safety, trust, stillness, and acceptance of herself, her injury, and the world around her. In pursuit of sharing this peace with others, yoga taught Colleen how to soften, how to listen, and how to love herself and others as they already are.  Yoga is for everyone and every body.

Denise is a lifelong learner of yoga. She began her journey in 1995 when she took her first class and was immediately was drawn back by the benefit of a quiet mind and a strong healthy body. Denise received her 200 RYA certification in Ashtanga Yoga in 2003 at The Yoga Studio in Newton. Denise also holds certification as a children’s yoga instructor with the Boston Public Schools and finds joy in sharing yoga with children. Denise became aware of the power of the mind-body connection and experienced the physical, emotional and spiritual benefits of the practice and wants to help others find the same.

I started practicing yoga about 10 years ago. After recently completing my yoga teacher training, I unexpectedly discovered a love for teaching. I began subbing in the Boston area and eventually found your way to Tree Yoga. I'm passionate about evolving in my practice and am excited to share it with others.

I am a Certified Yoga & Meditation Teacher through Cape Cod School of Yoga in Mashpee as well as School of Yoga - New Bedford. Sharing and promoting my love of yoga is truly my passion. I started yoga as a student in 2012 for movement and exercise, but I fell in love with the philosophy and what it means to be a yogi. To me, yoga means spreading kindness to all beings everywhere, mentally, physically and spiritually. My background is in Exercise Physiology and Exercise Sciences, and I became a certified Mental Health First Aid to expand my awareness and to be able to further guide others. With my knowledge and experience, I am able to conduct a productive, fun, and safe class for all.
