Yoga Instructor
Robin Workman
Becoming fit is not just about the physical body but also becoming fit in the mind and spirit. The postures open the door to really good stuff housed in the head. Each time she steps on the mat it's an opportunity to find wholeness. To erase her palette and begin again. Robin's classes are about alignment, breath and space. A place for each person to find those things in themselves to possibly deepen their self knowledge and get inquisitive about the journey. Robin is a Yoga Alliance 200 RYT

Registered Yoga Instructor
Meghann Brackett
Meghann began her true Yoga journey in 2017. It first began as a physical practice that turned much deeper….a spiritual way of life. Particularly Kundalini Yoga practices spoke to her heart when introduced by teachers Tommy Rosen and Kia Miller. Never had she experienced a practice that could expand her consciousness to the Divine and access her True Self in such a short period of time.
After practicing Kundalini for a few years led her to want to share this beautiful experience with her community. This prompted her to get her 200-HR RBY Teacher Training Certificate thru Kia Miller the founder and director of Radiant Body Yoga. This practice has it's roots in ancient Kundalini and Tantric traditions which include a combination of asana, kriya (specific sequences), breath, meditation, mantra, relaxation, and contemplation. Meghann is excited to share RBY which is designed to move you through stagnant energy, elevate your frequency and awaken a greater state of connection and consciousness.
