Candice Lamarand

Candice teaches with grace and compassion.

Candice has been teaching yoga since 2017. "My yoga practice has helped me become more connected, intentional, and less reactive. Yoga helped me develop grace and compassion for myself, honoring my strengths and weaknesses, reaching a level of self-love that—as someone who as a tween/teen/young adult suffered from eating disorders, body dysmorphia, and more—never imagined was possible. Yoga helped me become and stay sober for over six years now—and most importantly, has helped me raise my children with deep love and respect. Holding a safe space in all of my classes, where all feel supported and respected as they are, is very important to me as a yoga teacher."

Colleen Badgero

Colleen prioritizes the therapeutic benefits of yoga.

"I started practicing yoga in 2006 and completed my first of 2, 200-hour yoga teacher trainings in 2013 to deepen my practice. I grew up as a dancer, so initially the physical aspects of yoga drew me in and were relatively easy, given my flexibility and body awareness. But a hip injury that left me with chronic pain forced me to learn the hard way that my yoga practice needed a complete overhaul. 

I discovered that my hypermobility was leading to joint problems and dove into research on the subject. It helped me realize that shifting the way I practiced yoga to meet my body’s needs could help me build strength and stability to protect my joints, rather than causing further damage by over stretching for the sake of making a particular shape in a pose. 

This experience of self-discovery and healing led me to seek further training in myofascial release techniques, trauma-informed teaching, restorative yoga, and somatics. I bring all of this knowledge to my classes, which results in an environment where each individual’s body wisdom is honored, many options are offered, and the therapeutic benefits of the practice are prioritized. Creating harmony between mind, body, and spirit for optimized wellbeing is the goal!"

Diane Loveday

Diane's warmth and love for yoga inspires others.

Diane is a mom, traveler, gardener, reader and nature lover, and inspired yoga teacher. "Yoga began as a fitness plan that grew into a lifestyle.  Having practiced yoga as a student for almost 30 years, I decided to enhance my practice by participating in a 200 hr YTT.  It changed my practice and my perspective on yoga and life.  Yoga connects mind, body and spirit and inspires me to share this with others."

Kate McCullough

Kate loves to help people get out of pain and learn to feel better in their bodies.

"My yoga journey began as a way to recover from injuries and regain my flexibility. What I discovered along the way is a place for me to heal physically and emotionally. Returning to my mat each time is safe and familiar yet new and challenging.  

As a teacher I bring a calm and encouraging presence to other's practice. I love sharing the healing energy I have found in yoga. I try to share a moment of light during our time together. I love teaching and it has enriched my own practice and life."

Stephanie Lasky

Stephanie is passionate about Yin yoga and Yoga Nidra and her outgoing personality shines.

"I have been practicing yoga for over 6 years, and teaching for 2 years. Inspired to take my practice further and gain more knowledge, I completed two very different 200-hour teacher training programs, moving forward I became certified in SUP Yoga (Stand Up Paddleboard yoga) as well as my true love, Yin yoga and Yoga Nidra as well as Trauma Informed yoga. Currently working diligently on my 500 hr certification pending graduation in November 2024. Being a breast cancer survivor with very limited flexibility and range of motion after multiple major surgeries I quickly learned that yoga not only helped me regain mobility but improved the health of my deep connective tissues, fascia, ligaments, bones and joints. I truly believe that yoga is life changing, bringing us to a place physically, mentally, and spiritually that we have never been to before. I now teach students how to give themselves much needed attention and love that is often quite lacking in other types of physical activities. I teach from my own personal journey, sharing how poses benefit the body and translate off the mat.

Most importantly, I offer modifications to make the benefits of the poses accessible to all students. My compassionate teaching style and training background focus on the whole student and their personal intention for practice."
