Debra teaches a Vinyasa style yoga for all levels. Vinyasa simply means, lack of resistance, or, to flow. Debra has found in her own experience that yoga helps us to wake up! Debra believes that by finding ways to lengthen and strengthen our bodies we discover ways to quiet and soften our minds. Her classes are aimed at exploring the balance between effort and surrender within each pose. She encourages all her students to show up on their mat ready to investigate their own unique experience of yoga. Debra's favorite quote:
"80% of success is showing up." Woody Allen Debra has studied with Baron Baptiste, David Swenson, Cyndi Lee and other nationally recognized teachers.

 Power Vinyasa yoga found Sarah unexpectedly. She arrived too late to attend her ‘spin class’ but was right on time for yoga. In this one class she found muscles she never new she had and she realized she was both physically and mentally stronger than she thought. Sarah’s confidence grew and Power Vinyasa Yoga was the catalyst.
“Before yoga I viewed myself as shy and introverted. I would try to please everyone, but I never focused on what made me happy. Yoga helped me work through some of these issues.” "My yoga practice has allowed me to build confidence and it is that confidence and self-assurance that has allowed me to step in front of a class room and give to my students. Yoga changes lives and there is nothing more satisfying than sharing that gift with others."
Sarah is a certified by Power Yoga Works through Yoga Alliance.

Kati fuses Kripalu poses and Dharma's vibrant methodology together into light-hearted vinyasas for a playful (a smile is the best mudra!), inward-bound class that emphasizes meditation-in-motion with good alignment. She loves teaching mantra, pranayama, and meditation in her classes in an exploratory, non-dogmatic fashion. Kati also studies and draws from a variety of Hatha traditions, including Iyengar, Bikram, Tibetan, Astanga, and Kundalini yoga. She is also a Pilates instructor. Kati adores bodies, being barefoot, and learning. Om Namah Shivaya!
 Pat’s yoga story started with yoga classes at a local YMCA while her children were toddlers. As the children started school, yoga went by the wayside as she focused on a career in advertising and marketing. In 2004, when her health club began offering yoga classes, she took up a yoga practice once again. As retirement came on the horizon, Pat drew up a list of what she loved – as a focus for a retirement plan. Yoga and yoga philosophy were right up at the top. Her search for a Yoga Teacher Training program led her to Stillpoint where she studied under Yoganand Michael Carroll. Pat is certified as a Pranakriya yoga teacher, and is a Registered Yoga Teacher with the Yoga Alliance. Along with leading adult yoga classes, Pat enjoys sharing her love of yoga with children and teens. As a certified Aquatic Exercise Fitness Instructor, Pat teaches water exercise at nursing homes and health clubs.

When Heather discovered yoga, she fell in love with its ability to
strengthen and loosen her body while quieting and calming her mind.
Heather's initial training in yoga was through Ashtanga; she studied
with Manju Jois, Dee Silvers, Tim Miller, David Swenson, Chuck Miller
and Maty Ezraty. However, her teaching is most influenced by the
dynamic vinyasa-flow teaching style of her teacher and inspiration
Shiva Rea, with whom she has completed a 200 hour Prana Vinyasa Flow
teacher training.
Prana Flow classes offer a full and varied spectrum of experience from
rejuvenation to empowerment with a constancy in the awareness of the unity between the
wave motion of breath and bodily movement. Heather's classes are
creative and invigorating and she encourages her students to challenge
themselves to their own degree in order to build strength, fluidity
and serenity in their own bodies and minds.
Off the mat, Heather has her Ph.D. in Pharmacology and Toxicology and
works as a management consultant.

her passion for what she does shine. Her true inspiration comes from seeing her students

the age or the ability of her student Michelle makes yoga accessible. She teaches vinyasa,
kids, pre/post natal, mom and baby, sport specific and restorative yoga.
