Please welcome Lois to the BOY fam!

Lois is a deeply spiritual, mantra chanting, meditating yogi who has immersed herself in Hatha, Kundalini, Bhakti, and Yin traditions. To help students discover their “yogi within,” she tries to flavor her classes with influences from each of these styles. She uses some music; the soundtrack of her classes (and her life!) run the gamut from soft and mellow to Caribbean vibes to Snatam Kaur depending on the desired mood. (Sometimes quiet yoga can be beautiful too.) She generally does not burn incense, but enthusiastically encourages chanting because the power of Naad yoga can never be over-estimated.

Lois’ path is one of endless learning and she regularly attends workshops to not only improve herself and her teaching but also to deepen her understanding of the spiritual side of yoga. An alumnae of Yoga District’s 2015 200-hour Summer Intensive, Lois recently earned her 300-hour Spiritual Warrior certificate through Yoga Farm Ithaca, and is pursuing Somatic Yoga and Qigong certifications to add to the mélange that is her teaching vibe. She is also a Certified ChildLight Yoga Instructor and a Radiant Child 30-hour Approved Teacher – soon to be a certified 95-hour teacher in both. Off the mat she is baby sister of eleven (including four siblings-in-love), loving mother of three (+ a bonus), and devoted wife of one. She is a career legal secretary, a twice awarded magna cm laude college graduate, and a proud member of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society.

Lois will be offering a Kundalini series for the season of Vata from September 27th-October 18th on Saturdays from 10:15-11:15AM. Lois will also be offering a Kids Halloween Class on October 31st!

We are excited that Paige has returned from her extended trip and ready to teach again!

Paige completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training at Branches of Yoga in 2024 and holds additional certification in Polyvagal Theory for Therapeutic Yoga from The Embody Lab. She is currently pursuing training in Trauma Aware Breath Coaching and Meditation with The Whole Health Project. Paige began practicing yoga in the 90’s and noticed whenever she returned to the mat she felt a greater sense of well-being. She believes yoga offers the clarity needed to move through those past and present life challenges that affect our physical and mental health. Paige is honored to facilitate the transformative wisdom of mind-body practices and ancient yoga philosophy to guide you in connecting with the strength of your inner self. She looks forward to sharing space with you while finding wholeness and increasing serenity through a gentle yet self-empowering yoga practice for all levels of practitioners.

When not doing yoga, you can find Paige playing with her kids, teaching English to multilingual learners, studying Spanish and web design, running in the woods, reading a book, or admiring murmurations.

Paige will be offering Vinyasa Flow on Monday evenings at 6:45-7:45 and Gentle Yoga and Meditation on Wednesday mornings from 9:30-10:30 AM starting on September 8th!

🎉NEXT CLASS IS THIS SATURDAY, AUGUST 23rd!

Dharma Yoga & Yoga Nidra Practice with Mary Ann

Cost: $30 a class

🪷Dharma Yoga is a modern interpretation of classical Eight-limbed Yoga, deeply rooted in ethical precepts that includes elements of Vinyasa, inversions and held poses that will help you to discover concentration, meditation, and deep healing relaxation. It includes physical posture practice (Asana), breathing exercises (pranayama) and meditative techniques. This class is for all levels of experience!

The 90 minute Dharma class will conclude with 30 minutes of Yoga Nidra. Often called "yogic sleep," Yoga Nidra is a powerful practice that takes you into a state between wakefulness and sleep, where your body fully rests while your mind remains gently aware. Perfect for all levels, this practice is especially beneficial for those seeking stress relief, better sleep, emotional healing, or a deeper connection to their inner self.

See you there!
