An inspiring story of utilizing yoga as a tool for personal development and growth in such a short amount of time. Meghin is a teacher not just in the classroom but in all aspects of her life. Her desire to teach and continually learn makes her an inspiration to be around. Her energy can be heard in the playlists early in the AM with the bass booming. Her knowledge can be seen in the postural sequencing of her classes. Her impact on the class can be felt through her authenticity and occasional swearing to keep everyone on their toes. Everyday is a potential to flow as she challenges her students to look truthfully into their yoga mats to see who they really are, to see where they want to go, or who to be. The yoga mat is a mirror of who we really are. Meghin is a 500 hour E-RYT Power instructor with a Baptiste flare. She is 200 hour power trained through Exeter Power Yoga under the talented Jean Donnelly and Tracy Coviello, and is 300 hour LivFree Yoga Certified.

Lindsey has been practicing power yoga off and on for over 15 years and has been teaching buti yoga for two years. In 2021 she rededicated herself to her power vinyasa practice, connecting deeply with the mental and spiritual aspects and its ability to recenter and calm the mind. In her own practice, Lindsey enjoys pushing through her perceived limitations and doing things she never thought her body could do. She brings this sense of wonder and discovery into her teaching, offering advancements in many of the postures as well as options to explore inversions, arm balances, and other challenging poses in a fun and high-energy flow. With her background in buti yoga, she also incorporates strength and conditioning into her sequences to build endurance.
Lindsey believes in the transformative power of yoga and became a teacher so she could guide people to feel more connected to themselves, build their confidence, and push through limiting beliefs. She believes the lessons learned on the mat can change your life and relationship to yourself off the mat, allowing you to become your best self. She is a RYT 200, completing training at Unity in February 2022, and earned her buti yoga and hot buti yoga certifications in May 2022 from Buti MVMT.

For Colleen, yoga is a gift. It is a practice with the ability to show us what it feels like to connect to our bodies, our heart, our breath, our consciousness, our community, and the divine. Colleen has spent years cultivating a dedicated movement practice focused on ritual, connection, and inversion exploration. She incorporates handstand, inversion and contortion training into her Asana practice, allowing the different styles of movement to inform and build upon each other. Her goal is to encourage and teach students how to create a practice that serves their own needs. Showing them that every student is unique, and the goal is to create a movement practice that is interesting, dynamic, and evolving. Something they can fall in love with to keep them showing up day after day, to meet themselves on the mat and learn the lessons the practice has to teach. She looks forward to sharing the Freedom that comes with quieting the mind to push the limits of what you ever believed was physically possible while building strength, connection and integration to body and breath.
She studied and completed her 200 hr training at Awakening Yoga Academy with Patrick Beach and Carling Harps in the fall of 2020. She is continuing her study with them as she works toward her 300hr certification. She has also completed a Yin Yoga Level 1 certification with Jean Donnelly and Tracy Coviello at Power Yoga University.

Chance brought Andrea to yoga, but curiosity and desire to learn more about wellness kept her diving into the practice. Andrea fell in love with the practice of yoga as she discovered the therapeutic and meditative foundations of linking movement to breath in 2018. The creative and physical expression on the mat served as a means to understand what she could not express emotionally. Yoga quickly became an important pillar in Andrea’s life. In 2021, Andrea completed her first yoga teacher training in the track of Hatha. A year later, Andrea became a 500 hour registered yoga teacher with her second training in Vinyasa.
Outside of the studio, you can find Andrea painting, traveling, finishing her degree, learning how to play the piano, and appreciating the arts in a myriad of forms. She is passionate about sharing the power of living in the present moment and finding a deeper connection through the mind and body connection.
Andrea utilizes teaching as an opportunity to share with others a sacred practice that brought solace and immense personal growth into her life. In class, Andrea offers playful, imaginative, dynamic, and ultimately pragmatic classes taught at a pace that allows for intentional movement.

Claudine began exploring yoga as a way to compliment her fitness routine. Leaving her ego at the door, she was immediately craving more after her very first class. After a few years of consistent practice, she followed in the footsteps of her own teacher Becky Tache-Gabryjelski and landed at The Yoga Loft, where she completed her 200-hour YTT under the direction of Jen Ryan.
Claudine’s passion lies in leading students of all levels through a non-judgmental, listen to your body, Vinyasa flow. Claudine focuses her practice on stressing the importance of letting go, staying present, and enjoying each moment. In Claudine’s classes you can expect to be challenged and have fun. She believes that nothing is that serious, not even yoga. You will discover a much-needed inner peace to take with you, long after the time on your mat has ended. When not teaching you can find her working on her own practice or exercising. She believes do ALL of the things - sleep when dead!

As a life-long athlete, Emma was always looking for a workout to fuel her body. When quarantine hit in 20202, she took up yoga to aid her long-distance running. Returning back to college and softball, yoga took a back seat. After shoulder surgery and an athletic career coming to a close, Emma was looking for a more sustainable workout regime. She not only found a new favorite way to sweat with her return to yoga, but movement that released anxiety, a place to express emotion, and new communities.
After her best friend passed, yoga became a place to express grief and feel connection.
Emma brings self-love and acceptance, connection of the body and mind, and returning to the breath in her practice. Emma completed her 200-hour YTT program right here at Unity, graduating in June 2023.
