Our Teachers

Dagmar teaches vinyasa, kundalini for kids, pyropilates, and HIIT classes and is currently pursuing 500-hour yoga certification. Over the past decade,her practice has evolved along with her understanding of what yoga means. Finding joy in moving her limbs and unwinding her tight body have become both goal and reward. Dagmar believes yoga is for everybody. In her classes, she invites participants to focus on their unique body, to leave their thinking cap outside and trust their body to know how to move safely. She sees herself as a guide, offering suggestions and modifications as the class moves through the poses or simply rests together. A native of Germany, Dagmar is a mother, daughter, sister, wife, pet lover. She works as radio producer, writer, and volunteer, which gives her life meaning and purpose.

Glenda’s yoga journey began with Danielle Goldstein and led her to a teacher training with Beryl Bender Birch, and supplemental trainings with Glenn Black, Kino MacGregor, Nancy Gilgoff, David Williams, and Christine Hoar . Her training, as well as her personal practice, focus on the Mysore style of teaching Ashtanga yoga, which relies on hands-on, personalized instruction which integrates the yoga sequences with Pantajali’s yoga sutras. Glenda’s yoga practice sustains her off the mat and guides her to balance her most important role as a mom of 12 year old twins, as well as navigate a rewarding scientific research career in the pharmaceutical industry. She loves to teach what she practices and considers it an honor to be able to share her learnings of yoga with everyone.

Kitty began practicing yoga at the age of 15 to supplement her dance background. She quickly fell in love with the Baptiste Power Vinyasa style. During her time at university, she completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training focused on Baptiste style power vinyasa and slow flow classes. Since then, Kitty has spent time traveling in Europe and taught yoga at an eco-retreat center in Portugal. Off the yoga mat she is completing a sustainability fellowship at Princeton University. She strongly believes yoga is a joyful practice that serves your body, mind, and spirit. Take what you need and let go of what doesn’t serve you.

Nancy discovered yoga while in search of supportive tools for patients with cardiac and pulmonary chronic conditions. As a respiratory therapist, she believed that patients could benefit from a practice that could bridge the gap where traditional medicine leaves off and everyday life begins. The restorative and meditative aspects of yoga also helped Nancy cope with the loss of her mother to breast cancer. Yoga has provided unmatched opportunities to emerge empowered and supported through mindful movement and integrative breath work. Nancy believes that the lessons we learn on the mat help us navigate everyday life with grace and equanimity-a reflection of the body’s desired harmony and balance. She hopes to facilitate a lifestyle practice that supports sustainable change. Off the mat, Nancy is a Respiratory Therapist, Health-Science Teacher, Medical Massage Therapist, and Mom to three precious beings.
