ANNETTE (she/they)

Co-Owner

Yoga Educator, Ryt 500, FRC®, Functional NEurology in Yoga 140hrs

I am a teacher and a perpetual student. I believe in being a work in progress, leaning heavily into the process part of progress.

MY MISSION 

I believe in providing space for anyone and everyone to settle into what they need that day. I believe in movement as an opportunity to engage with our bodies and center ourselves whilst allowing the wandering mind to continue on its journey or take respite for a bit.

MY CLASS

In my class, you can expect lighthearted communication, encouragement of thoughtful contemplation, and a structure to explore how movement is a part of your story. Join me for a slower yet challenging flow centered around mobility, alignment-based cues and an emphasis on refinements.

HANA (she/her)

Co-Owner

YOGA EDUCATOR, E-Ryt 500, FRC®️, Laughter Yoga Teacher

MY MISSION 

My mission is to create a space to move in different and dynamic ways. To give knowledgeable guidance and offer a mindful lens to connect to our nervous system and mind.

MY CLASS

A dynamic, high-energy, and mindful practice that often changes and always comes back to the foundation of yoga. It is an alignment-based practice to support what best serves you in any asana, integrating the breath, nervous system, and body.

BECKY (she/they)

YOGA EDUCATOR, RYT 500

MY MISSION 

My mission is to “first, do no harm” I focus on safe alignment, muscle engagement, and adjustments to help make poses achievable and safe. I concentrate on getting the benefit of the pose, instead of getting into the "perfect” shape of the pose. My class is an invitation to exercise your mind and body to create a connections that promotes a greater sense of wellbeing.

MY CLASS

I design classes to increase strength and mobility, whether that is retaining what you have or regaining what you have lost. I include asana, breathwork, and targeted mobility exercises. You can expect to have a greater understanding of how your body works, more ease in the movement of your body, and maybe even a little fun.

BRANDI (she/her)

Yoga Educator, Ryt 200, PRYT

I am a yoga teacher, psychology professor and writer of all things yoga. I am also a mama to two bio daughters and two stepsons. I believe in savoring the little joys of life, such as a sweet yoga flow, a walk with the dogs, and those first sips of coffee. For me, yoga is about living authentically as our true selves without pretense or expectation. My time on my mat fosters the authenticity that I wish to radiate in my life beyond the mat.

MY MISSION 

I believe in creating space for students to be true to themselves and to receive what they need from the practice. Reasons for coming to our mats are as diverse as the humans upon them. And these reasons, like so many aspects of ourselves, can change from moment to moment. Take what you need, leave behind what you do not, even change your mind if you wish, but no matter what, be authentically you.

MY CLASS

I offer an open-level, steadily paced class with many opportunities to do what feels authentic and good to you. Expect harmony in emphasis on alignment and guided flow from one posture to the next. My classes are thematically developed for finding meaning, joy and authenticity in the practice while also prioritizing safety.

CALLIE (she/her)

Yoga Educator, RYT 500

MY MISSION

My mission is to share what I am discovering, both on and off the mat, through my love of yoga, neural reprogramming, and psychology. To me, yoga is a practice of self-awareness that nurtures change through compassionate observation, nervous system regulation, and embodied action. I hope to spark a sense of curiosity in those who join my classes—about their evolving journey, their practice, and themselves.

MY CLass

You can expect to begin the process of befriending your nervous system and physical body, supported by music that aligns with the energy of each pose and the overall class. My sequencing is thoughtfully designed to promote spinal and joint health, creating a practice that feels both stable and nourishing. Through movement, stillness, and breath awareness, we’ll explore what it means to pay attention. You'll be held in a safe space to be exactly where you are—the sweet spot that always has something to teach us. Most importantly, we won’t take ourselves too seriously—because having fun matters!

CONNIE (she/her)

Intuitive Healer & Sacred Space Holder, E-RYT 500, RPYS, CD(DONA), HHC

MY MISSION

As a sacred space holder with an extensive background teaching hatha yoga, prenatal yoga and meditation, birth work, and now as a healer, I hold the energy of the midwife and priestess. This translates into the way I hold people in a safe container that is grounded and loving to conjure desires unfulfilled and release old versions that no longer serve. I desire to remind those I work with to remember who they truly are and why they are here. The world needs us in our fullest expression!

MY SESSIONS

My sessions at Yoga Mechanics bring women together in circle. Our themed gatherings create closeness in our community, where we explore our needs and wishes while holding one another in challenging times while celebrating life’s wins. These circles are not therapy, rather they are a lifeline to recalibrate our spirits and empower our visions. We get to discover who we are becoming together.

FERNANDO– (he/him)

YOGA EDUCATOR, RYT 500

After a debilitating car accident and subsequent surgeries, doctors said my active lifestyle was over! Losing my physical abilities allowed me no choice but to shift my focus to my mind and how it operates. I found a new level of respect and appreciation for my body’s natural ability to overcome injury and heal itself. I developed a new more complete understanding of my inner workings. 

MY MISSION 

My mission is to show people that our pain is the path to our liberation. It’s our gift, not a cross to bear.

MY CLASS

In my class you can expect to breathe and move in new ways. To find light and space in the neglected areas on the body and mind.

I started my design business to escape a corporate career I thought I loved, and became a yoga teacher to keep my Gemini brain happy, busy, & balanced. My life is quite literally, by design.

MY MISSION 

I guide students through yoga, contemplation, and conscious relationship to their bodies. Curiosity, coupled with conscious connection, is a mainstay of my offering as it has helped me leverage my life and my practice to the fullest.

MY CLASS

My class is for all levels of practice, including newly yoga-curious folks. I offer alignment cues to provide structure to poses, including options to modify or expand your experience. When teaching, I draw inspiration from my daily life and love to reveal the connections between life and the body/movement. My hope is that you will leave class feeling balanced, open, and with the ability to take the tools of yoga with you off the mat and into your daily life.

I encourage people to build strength, find balance, and cultivate a sense of well-being in their practice that extends beyond the studio.

My Class

Practice with me at a gentle pace, exploring postures, breathing exercises, and meditations designed to promote both inner peace and physical strength. Each class unfolds around a unique theme, like "Cultivating Gratitude" or "Finding Balance." We'll use props to support alignment and make the practice accessible to all bodies.

My Class

I teach a challenging but accessible class where you will feel supported as you explore the potential of your own body and heart. My teaching is playful, authentic and relatable, connected to my own experiences as a yogi living in the world.

KELLY (she/her/hers)

YOGA EDUCATOR

MY MISSION 

I offer an inclusive space for students to think, move and be messy. I share practical yogic and somatic tools that will support and challenge each student’s conscious relationship with themselves and their everyday experience.   My classes are stitched together with humor, my lived experiences, and my knowledge of functional movement.

MY CLASS

Yoga is a somatic practice and embodied moving mediation. In my class, we will move our minds around our bodies. We will honor what you bring to your mat while we will navigate precise, dynamic movements with slow breathwork that will bolster your daily life. 

KRYSTINA (she/her)

Yoga Educator, Ryt 500, Katonah Yoga®,

Stick Mobility,  Nutrition Coach

MY MISSION

I’m a lover of all types of movement and teach from a place inspired by various movement modalities. This beautiful practice of yoga offers us a way to bolster self awareness and connection to what’s happening around us. My aim is to make space for curiosity, exploration, and insight through asana. Life is always in motion, and so we move with it. The goal is to set the best conditions to move well in our bodies, both on and off the mat. 

MY CLASS

My classes use measure & alignment to support functional movement. Infused with pranayama and theory, we’ll move dynamically through asanas to tap into a felt-sense of stability & ease. There will (almost) always be props and variations will be offered. All levels welcome 

KRYSTAL (she/her)

Yoga Educator, Ryt 500

I grew up a mover; a college athlete and over 10 years a dancer. I soon found myself entangled in the sedentary life and chaos of the fashion industry's corporate America. Then, enter Yoga from stage right. A practice that has always offered me a personally-curated sanctuary and a safe container for solace.

MY MISSION

My mission is to offer a safe space that allows my students to hold sacred space, movement, and time for themselves. I hope to guide my collective through moments of rework, reprieve, and hopefully, resolve. For many years, this practice and especially the community of YM has held me closely and safely, in every iteration of "me". To be able to offer that same lens is truly where my heart teaches from.

MY CLASS

My class is designed to feel like… let's call it a hug for the nervous system! Through gentle and restorative movements, I invite you to show up exactly as you are in the moment, take what you need, and leave the rest. My classes offer this practice of yoga as a lens into our lives, in that half of the "work" is just in showing up and honoring your journey in this sometimes treacherous landscape of life. Most importantly, I hope my classes remind you that you are never alone and that together as one, we "keep going" on the mat and through life.

MY MISSION 

To serve as a catalyst in teaching and supporting students on how to use a yoga practice and community to live a richer, more informed, satisfying life.
