Joanie Delph
Joanie discovered her love for Ashtanga Yoga almost two decades ago, and never looked back. Somehow it seemed to be "setting her free." After six years of practice, Joanie completed a 200-hour TT program, then commenced to study with highly respected teachers in the U.S. and India, where she continues to learn today.
After many years of practice and teaching therapeutic, cathartic Ashtanga, her life has been enriched beyond belief… physically, mentally, and spiritually. To assist others in learning and to get to watch their best lives unfold is a gift beyond measure. Joanie believe that Ashtanga ‘yoga therapy’ can be approached and learned by all and will help as needed, every step of the way.
When not on the mat, Joanie can be found in her yard with critters, taking walks, contra dancing, cooking up a storm, learning/presenting Ayurveda and other yogic practices, eating at Dosa corner, going to Farmer’s Markets and more…
Ellen Eilers

In 2018, Ellen began teaching full-time and fell in love with helping her students receive the benefits of yoga as well. She became E-RYT 200 in 2020 and created the School of Zen, a 200-hr Yoga Teacher Training program, which is certified to the highest level of the Yoga Alliance.

Hanna Fidler
Hanna believes deeply in her students' ability to move in incredible ways. As a pre-licensed therapist and an E-YT 500, Hanna is committed to creating a supportive environment where they can explore their bodies fully. She prioritizes helping her students understand their body’s structure and sensations, turning a yoga practice into a personal and empowering experience.
Hanna's passion for yoga began in college while she was earning her B.A. in Theatre and Dance. After a back injury from high-impact dancing, she was advised that surgery was her only option. Instead, she turned to yoga and discovered its remarkable ability to strengthen and mobilize her back without the need for surgery. Inspired by the profound benefits she experienced, both physically and beyond, Hanna decided to become a teacher after years of dedicated practice. She earned her 300-hour teaching certification and became a TSYT. What drives Hanna as a teacher is witnessing her students have powerful personal experiences through their own yoga practice.
Beyond the studio, Hanna is deeply committed to her two greatest passion projects. She leads youth yoga and performing arts programs across the state as an RCYT and theater teacher. She also dedicates her time to an organization she founded, which empowers women through movement, community, and dance.
