Denise found yoga via a path many followed in the mid-80’s. It was viewed as a great way to get flexible and hang out with cool people. Years of fad exercise crazes, motorcycle and snowmobile adventures, corporate life stress and extreme klutziness resulted in spine and disk damage that ultimately required surgery. Yoga was a key element in a speedy recovery and restoring full mobility with less pain.In 2019 Denise completed her first Yoga Teachers Training, and that experience spurned a desire to dig deeper into the 8 limbs of Yoga and how the physical yoga practice can impact mind, body and spirit. In 2021 she completed 300 hours in Advanced Yoga studies programs and is registered with Yoga Alliance as RYT-500.  With a slow pace and breath and body awareness Denise will sub Wednesday Chair Yoga put normally leads classes including Gentle Beginner, Yin and All Levels Flow.

I began my practice 10 years ago after graduating from the Florida School of Massage in Gainesville, FL. I subsequently received certifications in Orthopedic Massage, as well as Integrative Massage and Personal Training, Trigger Point Therapy and Acupressure, Active Release Stretching, and Advanced Sports Massage. For 5 years, I worked with collegiate and olympic athletes at the University of Florida. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, my personal yoga and calisthenics practice, cooking and particularly fermenting food, playing and performing music, and studying Japanese.

Lori began her fitness journey 25 years ago, teaching step classes and aqua aerobics. She then discovered Pilates, receiving her certification in 1999. Years later, she started taking yoga classes as a student. Realizing yoga is so much more than being flexible and getting into poses, she fell in love with the practice. She went on to earn her YTT 200 instructor training 4 years ago. Seeing that yoga and Pilates compliment each other, Lori likes to combine the two practices.
