🧘‍♂️ Yoga Journey 🧘‍♀️

With a foundation built on a 200-hour yoga teacher training program, I have delved into the intricate world of yoga to develop a profound understanding of its transformative power. My specialization extends to the restorative practice of Yoga Nidra and Trauma-informed yoga, aiming to provide a safe and healing space for individuals of all backgrounds to find solace in the practice.

My teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that yoga can be a gentle flow, a nurturing journey that allows you to honor your body without the pressure of competition. Every individual is unique, and I encourage my students to do what they can, knowing that this is where the true magic of yoga unfolds.

✨ Meditation and Mindfulness ✨

In my classes, I often weave meditation practices, creating an environment where inner peace and serenity can flourish. The mind-body connection is at the heart of my teaching, and through meditation, I help my students discover the profound harmony that resides within.

Outside the yoga studio and the classroom, I am a devoted pet parent to two loving dogs. Their presence brings joy and a sense of grounding to my life. I am also a creative soul, always exploring new avenues of self-expression and fostering an environment that encourages my students to tap into their own creativity.

Karen Flynn

Yoga Instructor
Specializing in Chair Yoga

My name is Karen Flynn. I have spent most of my career adapting ordinary activities, tasks and exercise routines to a community of people with not so ordinary abilities.

I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Motor Development Therapy and Adaptive Physical Education from Bridgewater State University before going on to spend 18 years working with children and teens with severe disabilities. 

Believing that people of all ages, abilities and varying ranges of motion can benefit from exercise and relaxation techniques was what inspired me to become certified in both Children’s Yoga & Chair Yoga. I believe Yoga should be for any “body”.

If you are searching for a safe and unique exercise activity that will allow you to enjoy many of the stimulating benefits of traditional yoga all while seated comfortably or, you have children that are looking for a Yoga routine with an emphasis on fun, I invite you to join me.

Victoria “Vee” LeBlanc

Yoga Instructor
RYT200

Vee LeBlanc is a 200 Hour Certified Yoga Teacher. She went to her first yoga class as a senior in high school with a dear friend. It was a Kundalini class and after giggling through the whole class she took a break from yoga. Eventually she turned to an online practice off and on for a few years, where the goal was purely physical. After barely scratching the surface of yoga, in 2022 she began a more regular practice going once a week (with the same friend from high school). This gave her a better understanding of what yoga actually is, an entire way of life and not just an exercise class. Which brought her to getting her Reiki I and II certifications to further her spiritual practice. Her yoga practice blossomed from there as she watched her boyfriend graduate from his 200 hour training and begin teaching, which eventually inspired her to take her 200 hour in September of 2023. She hopes to bring a safe space for people to feel connected with mind, body, and soul. Allowing playfulness and compassion in each of her classes. She is a welcoming and grounding presence for all students.

Robin Plante

Yoga Instructor
RYT-200

I finished my 200YTT in 2020 just before the pandemic and found myself teaching via zoom and loved it. But being back in a studio is a much better feeling. To see all the yogis and to be  part of a collective experience puts a smile on my face and warms my heart.

I love being creative and being on the beach looking for all kinds of treasures this is where my creativity comes to me. 

Paddle boarding is a great way of spending time on the water and finding your balance.

Love just sitting on my deck or porch reading a good book. 

Deb Prisco

Healing Arts, Bodywork, & Assisted Stretching Specialist

My love for body movement evolved at an early age.  I was fortunate to begin dancing at age 5 with a passion that steadily progressed to a 7 day discipline.  Pilates became a staple for daily routine and eventually became the root to my future endeavors.  

Flexibility may be natural for a few…but not for me.  I struggled for years with flexibility as a dancer.  I admired the dancers with long limbs and endless flexibility that gently flowed through movements.  Not for me, I had to quickly figure out ways to gain flexibility for my body to achieve the level of performance that could accompany my fellow dancers.  I began studying the work of Joseph Pilates and incorporated his philosophies and practices into my conditioning routine.  Dramatic improvements in my flexibility began to happen.  I began to love how I felt!

Years later I became a Certified Pilates Trainer through the PhysicalMind Institute and began training clients of all fitness levels and intentions.  Some were for injury prevention, post surgery rehabilitation, athletes looking to enhance their performance, as well as people interested in improvement in overall wellness.  Whatever the intent, I loved seeing people feel good about how their bodies felt.

Being an educator, I recognized that we are always learning and improving.  I started practicing Ashtanga Yoga on a daily basis.  The poses aligned beautifully with pilates.  I was fortunate to study under a yoga and pilates mentor that was trained in Thailand and learned many Thai Bodywork techniques.  I had so much more to offer….

Today….I love how I have incorporated so many blends of bodywork and healing arts to create a unique Assisted Stretching experience for people.   Each person’s body has different intentions and limitations and I strive to design a program based upon one’s own individual needs.
