My name is Amit, and I’m a traditionally trained yoga teacher originally from India. Yoga has been a part of my life long before my 800 hours of teacher training certification in Rishikesh—it’s deeply intertwined in the fabric of my rich culture.
My training in India focused not just on physical postures, but on the deeper roots of yoga: breath, mindfulness, philosophy, and cultural context. In a world where yoga is often seen as just another fitness class, my goal is to offer something more meaningful. I teach yoga the way it was meant to be taught—respectfully, mindfully, and rooted in tradition.
Whether you're new to yoga or looking to deepen your practice, I invite you to explore this path with me. Let’s go beyond the poses and discover the wisdom yoga truly offers.

Meredith began teaching yoga in 2010, out of a desire to share the practice that helped her cope with the anxiety and stress of being a special needs parent. She completed her 200-hour teacher training and numerous advanced yoga trainings, and went on to become a Certified Yoga Tune Up® teacher in 2015. That training, along with a life-changing chronic injury, led to her passion for studying anatomy and functional movement. Not only did she heal from her injury, but this path led to a rewarding career as a rehabilitative movement specialist, massage therapist, and Certified Health and Wellness Coach. Her yoga classes today reflect that breadth of knowledge and experience, as well as her mission to help people live better—body, mind, and spirit!
In her free time, you can find Meredith swinging kettlebells, knitting blankets, and enjoying time with her partner and three adult children.

Sara has been teaching yoga since 2012, cultivating her unique stylings from her time guiding practices coast to coast. She offers guidance to all levels of practice, hoping to guide practitioners into spaces of strength, buoyancy, reflection and clarity with effort & ease. Every moment in class is different and unique, even if the postures may be familiar. Outside of practice, you can find her playing in her bands Lo Fives & Ex Locals.
“Early on, I started to sense the art of yoga is much more than a physical practice, and the overall quality of my life enhanced. I have a vivid memory of the first time I consciously found my breath during a particularly chaotic work day, and was able to center myself amongst the madness. From that moment on, I’ve felt like this practice is a practice that would last a lifetime. In 2021, I tried to quit teaching, and did for a year, but I now know that practicing and teaching yoga are embedded into my matrix, and sharing it with others truly allows me to stay grounded and gives me the able to navigate this wild world we live in. If I can help someone remember their own breath in a sticky situation, it is all worth it. It’s something I hope to do forever. I can’t wait to share some space & breath with you!”
