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!

Christiana has been practicing yoga for several years, but it wasn’t until a deeply transitional period living in New York City that her practice truly became a source of grounding and healing. What began as a physical outlet evolved into something much more - a space to breathe, process emotions, and reconnect with her truest self. Inspired to explore yoga philosophy further, Christiana completed her 200 RYT through Yoga Renew in Hoboken, NJ. For her, teaching has become a natural extension of her personal journey - a way to hold space for others as they explore the layers of their own practice. She believes yoga isn’t always comfortable, and that’s often where the transformation begins. To her, yoga is a reminder of our innate connection to Mother Earth - how, like nature, we move through seasons of change, stillness, and growth.

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!

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.

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.
