HOT VINYASA, SLOW FLOW
(RYT-200)

Alina's journey on the mat began 10 years ago, after years of practicing hot yoga she pursued what she loved most and completed her 200-hour YTT in Monterey, California and has been teaching Power Vinyasa classes for the last four years.

YOGA THERAPY, YOGA NIDRA
(C-IAYT, Psy. D.)

Marie Bailey is a Yoga Therapist who moved to the Pacific Northwest in late 2021. Yoga has been a significant part of Marie’s life for 25 years during which she has been a trainer in the Integrative Amrit Method (I AM) of Yoga Therapy and I AM Yoga Nidra for the past 13 years. She has taught Yoga and led Yoga Therapy trainings throughout the US and internationally.

My approach to yoga is welcoming, vibrant, and well-balanced. I aim to create a space where students feel supported from the moment they arrive, with room to choose the level of challenge that feels right for them. Classes begin and end with grounding, build into joyful movement, and offer more than a workout through breath, intention, and connection.

Gentle | Chair | Slow Flow

(RYT-200)

Hello! I’m Tally. I am a 200 RYT certified yoga instructor with 30 continuing education hours in chair yoga instruction. My focus is accessible and mindful movement. My goal is to hold space for a practice that balances ease and effort. My classes feature longer holds and multiple breaths in each pose to build strength, resiliency, flexibility, and balance. I believe yoga can change lives and whether you are brand new or returning to your practice, you are welcome!  

Pilates + Barre

My approach to my classes is to focus on proper form, mindful movement, and building full body functional strength. I guide you through intentional exercises that not only build strength, but give you an experience that you enjoy and look forward to each class.

I have been working in the fitness industry since 2006 as a certified Group Fitness Instructor, Personal Trainer, and Health Coach. Throughout my career, I have taught a wide variety of classes including cycling, step aerobics, strength training, boot camp, core conditioning, and Upbeat Barre. While I am newer to Pilates, I bring years of experience in core strength and functional movement training.

As a mother of six and a survivor of a trauma-induced stroke in 2019, I have a personal understanding of the importance of core strength, balance, and overall fitness. My prior commitment to physical fitness played a significant role in my recovery, particularly in overcoming balance challenges. These experiences have deepened my passion for helping others build strength, improve mobility, and develop confidence through movement.

Hatha | Gentle | Yoga for All Sizes

(RYT-200)

Adrianna has been practicing yoga for over 15 years and set out to showcase larger bodies in a teaching specific yogic space. Using a strength based practice, her goal is to bring representation and agency to students with bodies who may need or benefit from pose alternatives, prop usage or other modifications based on unique anatomical constraints and differences. Her philosophy is that your body changes every day, so meet yourself where you are TODAY with kindness and respect for your past, present, and future experience. In line with this philosophy, she is also the owner of Upper Left Supper Club, a Personal Chef and Small Event Caterer who specializes in Dietary Restrictions and Food Sensitivities. 

RYT 200

I specialize in gentle, chair-based, and adaptive yoga, creating practices that support mobility, balance, breath, and nervous system regulation. My teaching style is practical, inclusive, and light-hearted. I aim to create a welcoming environment where students feel safe, respected, and encouraged, whether they’re stepping onto a mat for the first time, practicing from a chair, or simply needing a slower, more mindful experience. Yoga, to me, is not about performance or perfection. It’s about connection, dignity, and discovering what is possible in the body today.
