Stephanie began her yoga journey in 2016 after moving to a new city, initially in search of a good workout and a sense of community. She was immediately hooked by the perfect blend of challenge, strength, and inner calm and balance that she received from the practice. She quickly became a regular practitioner and was drawn to learning as much as she could about both the physical and spiritual aspects of the practice. Stephanie completed her 200- hour teacher training in 2017, where she was trained to teach vinyasa and power yoga styles. When Stephanie became pregnant with her son in 2019 she began doing prenatal yoga, which was instrumental in helping her cultivate the physical and emotional strength and calm that was so important during her pregnancy and throughout new motherhood. This inspired Stephanie to go on to complete her 85-hour prenatal yoga training. Stephanie believes it's truly a privilege to be able to support women during this special and challenging time, and to share the many gifts she received herself from the prenatal yoga experience. Stephanie has also completed several other advanced trainings, including Trauma Informed Yoga with Hala Khouri and Yoga Anatomy with Leslie Kaminoff. Stephanie's teaching style is inspired by vinyasa yoga techniques and sequencing. She guides students through creative and dynamic flows, with a focus on safe and effective alignment and linking breath to movement. Stephanie's goal is to provide accessible, well rounded, and empowering classes that emphasize the importance of the mind-body connection.

Tamar Lewkowitz, RYT 200, teaches adults, children, infants, and families. Tamar encourages all of her students to connect with their bodies and to explore what feels right for them. In adult classes, Tamar incorporates flowing sequences to help link breath with movement. She also provides opportunities for her students to hold postures for longer periods of time to build strength and endurance, and to bring attention to the muscles and connections being targeted in each pose. Tamar is also certified in Chair Yoga and offers a variety of modifications so that all students can participate and benefit from the practice. She believes yoga should be inclusive for all people.

Tamar has her Budding Yogi and Every Kids Yoga: Teaching Yoga to Kids with Special Needs certifications through Circle Yoga. As a former Special Education teacher for 7 years, she is passionate about creating fun and engaging lessons to help children have positive body awareness, mindful connections with themselves and others, and tools to use outside of the classroom.

Tamar looks forward to practicing with you and the whole family!
