Andrea Cox, RYT began her yoga practice more than 12 years ago and has a strong background in the Iyengar and Vinyasa Flow styles. She appreciates the unique opportunity the body and mind have to become centered, challenged and calmed through the practice of yoga. Andrea is certified in Adaptive Yoga and completed a 200 hour yoga teacher training. Come stretch and restore with Andrea’s Gentle Yoga class.

Mary Fetterman, RYT came to her mat in 2002. “I admit that I began practicing yoga purely for physical reasons. I just had my second child and was looking for a way to get back in shape.” Mary found what she was looking for and so much more. Yoga became a part of her life, and a way of living with benefits far beyond “getting in shape." A little over a year later, Mary was leading the same class she began with. She feels that teaching yoga is incredibly rewarding and her true passion is in working with those new to yoga and helping them find their comfort level while challenging their abilities.

Kathleen Guidotti, MPH, CYT first became aware of the mind body connection while training for her black belt in Tae Kwon Do with her father and then practicing Hatha yoga, instructed by her mother, in 1997. While yoga initially frustrated her she was intrigued by her inability to simply relax and enjoy being with herself. So Kathleen pursued studying and is now driven by the healing power of yoga and mindful living and all it has to offer to reduce stress, anxiety and constantly generate a positive attitude. She supports yoga for its preventative and restorative qualities for the health of the mind, body and spirit.

Carly Howell's  life was changed by yoga in 2004.  Since her first moment on the mat, Carly has devoured every opportunity to dive deeper into the practice of yoga to realize all of it's physical, mental, and spiritual benefits.  As an instructor she is trained in Power, Flow and Stationary yoga and aims to serve her students by helping them cultivate health, balance and personal strength through their practice.  Carly believes that with a little compassion, positive energy and mindfulness we are collectively changing the world with the power of our yoga practice.

Laura Liss, MSW, ERYT is the director of The Center and has been practicing yoga for over 17 Years. Her motivation to teach grows out of her love of yoga and desire to help others connect with it’s powerful benefits. While she began her professional career as a psychotherapist she has found yoga to be a wonderful way to help so many learn to relax, strengthen and bring what they practice on their mats into their everyday lives. Laura has a background in the Astanga, Anusara and Vinyasa styles of Yoga and she teaches the Stationary Series, and Flow classes with enthusiasm and devotion.

Stephanie Markstein, ERYT has been teaching yoga for six years and recently completed a 500 hour yoga teacher training.

Laurie Nonnemacher, RYT is trained in Vinyasa Power Yoga and is thrilled to be able to combine her passion for yoga and love of kids. Laurie is a very high-spirited and enthusiastic teacher who easily engages children in a fun and enriching yoga class. She is amazed and delighted to see how much her own two children, 8 and 10, enjoy yoga and how naturally they practice the poses.
