Brenda Swain

For Brenda, Vinyasa practice holds magic. She loves the sense of connection to something deeper within that flowing styles of yoga provide for her.

"Vinyasa is a dynamic marriage of our internal and external worlds. Vinyasa is an outward expression of the subtle movement of life force. It is a manifestation of prana. Vinyasa orchestrates balance. A balance of strength and flexibility, lightness and heaviness, movement, and stillness. Through vinyasa one may know the vibration of life." (Ashtanga Yoga "The Practice Manual," by David Swenson)

Brenda has a desire to inform and encourage individuals to experience the many benefits of yoga, and to dispel myths, rumors, and preconceived notions about what yoga is. She believes that each person's yoga journey is unique and invites everyone to come share, without expectation or judgement, the experience of shifting energy via mindful movement and breathing.

Gabrielle Castellanos

The first time I tried yoga, I was hooked. As a lover of movement, dance and flow, yoga felt like what I'd been searching for. I became a student in 2015 and will remain one for life! I've spent years as student learning, training, and growing with my local yoga community. In my class, you can expect flowing movements united with the breath, as well as moments of stillness. Expect a balance of strength and flexibility, and to deepen the relationship between mind and body.
