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!

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 (Bikram, heated vinyasa). Then as I moved through different stages of life (from pregnancy, to new mom, to now midlife) my practice has shifted and evolved to include more restorative practices. My teaching centers mental and emotional balance just as much as bringing more physical comfort to your body. When I am not teaching, I am working 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 last 20+ years: 200hr YTT from YogaSpirit Studios (2005), 500hr YTT from Barbara Benagh and 600hr Yoga Therapy certification from Phoenix Rising (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.

Candace Lites, born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, was introduced to yoga in high school so that she could maintain balance and flexibility during the offseason of competitive cheerleading and track and field. No longer a student-athlete, she recognized years ago that yoga is much more than a supplement to competitive sports and training. As such, she decided to deepen her commitment to her yoga practice, which led to her completing 200-hour teacher training in February 2024.

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!

Isabella Langan is a certified yoga teacher with a 200-hour vinyasa certification, a 100-hour yin yoga training through Lifetime, and additional training in the Alva Method, which blends sound healing, breathwork, energy work, and neuro-linguistic programming. She is also trained in Nada yoga and Reiki. She came to yoga during a time of major life change, and it became a steady path back to self-love, clarity, and connection. Yoga gave her a way to return to herself, especially when life felt heavy or uncertain. That experience is what inspires her to teach. Isabella shares this practice because she wants others to feel what she found: ease in the body, peace in the mind, and a deep sense of trust in their own inner path. Her classes are gentle, grounding, and intuitive. She offers space for students to slow down, reconnect, and feel at home within themselves.

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.

Fulfilling a long time dream to share yoga with her friends and community, Sarah completed Yoga Teacher Training in the spring of 2025. She thinks it’s important to bring yoga into your life and your life to yoga. When she’s off the mat, you can find her styling wedding hair as her full time job, quilting, dancing to 90s hip hop, taking classes at UMass, training her wild dog, Rip, and spending time with her Husband and Besties.

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.

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 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!
