Michele began practicing yoga in 2000 during a demanding corporate career defined by long hours and constant pressure to perform. From the outside, life looked successful. Inside, she felt disconnected, anxious, and stuck in survival mode.

Yoga didn’t change her life overnight — but it gave her something essential: space. Space to slow down, feel what was actually happening, and respond instead of constantly reacting.

That shift became the foundation for Serenity.

Michele teaches in a way that is practical, grounded, and real. She is not interested in perfection or performance. Her focus is helping students step out of overwhelm — even briefly — so they can move through their lives with more clarity, steadiness, and choice.

She completed her 200-hour training in 2003 and her 500-hour training at the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in 2017. With academic degrees in finance, economics, accounting, and entrepreneurship, Michele deeply understands the pressures of modern life — and the need for practices that genuinely support it.

Her classes are steady, honest, and human. A place to exhale. A place to reset. A place to come back to yourself.

After years working in finance fueled by long hours and too much coffee, Adam discovered yoga and found a different way to show up in his life — especially as a father. Learning how to be present and embody his best self for the people who matter most changed everything.

Yoga became more than movement; it became connection.

Adam approaches teaching with the understanding that no two days — or students — are the same. He strives to meet each person exactly where they are, offering a practice that helps them move through what’s in front of them and arrive more fully into themselves.

Even when practice feels challenging, Adam believes it is always worth it. His intention is to help students embody themselves fully and leave class feeling more connected — steady in the knowledge that growth is rarely a straight line.

Before yoga, Amy’s life was shaped by anxiety, burnout, and disconnection from her body. Through a steady personal practice and a strong community, she began to understand how movement could be healing — not as performance, but as a way back to herself.

Today, Amy teaches from that lived experience. Her classes focus less on how a pose looks and more on how it feels. She encourages students to tune in, adjust, and trust their own internal feedback rather than chasing perfection.

You can expect a grounded, pragmatic approach — thoughtful sequencing, clear guidance, and space to notice what’s happening in your body. Amy wants students to leave class feeling capable, connected, and confident enough to walk into any room knowing they belong there.

Becky’s relationship with movement began early. After starting gymnastics at age three, being present in her body has always felt like a way of life. When her gymnastics career ended after college, yoga became her home base — a way to stay connected to her body while continuing to explore strength, focus, and breath.

Over the years, her practice has evolved on many levels. Physically, yoga supports balance and resilience. Mentally and emotionally, it offers grounding, clarity, and a deeper experience of the present moment.

As a neuroscientist and research scientist studying the benefits of yoga and meditation, Becky brings curiosity and lifelong learning into her classes. She weaves research, lived experience, and wisdom from diverse mentors into a thoughtful, accessible practice.

Her intention is that students feel they belong — worthy, grounded, and connected to something larger than themselves — leaving class with gratitude for their bodies and steady confidence to meet whatever arrives next.

Bethany teaches with safety and non-harming at the center. She blends thoughtful strengthening and mobility work with space to observe, breathe, and recalibrate. She believes self-awareness should be balanced with joy — that practice can be both steady and playful.

Before yoga, Donna’s life felt full and busy. What shifted wasn’t the pace of her life — it was her ability to pause within it.

Donna offers classes that feel like a collective exhale. She invites students to notice what’s already within them — strength, steadiness, and the capacity to self-regulate — and to reconnect with that inner resource. Her teaching is invitational and grounded.

She hopes you leave class feeling calmer, more centered, and aware of the quiet power you already carry.

Karen has spent her entire adult life in the fast-paced, high-stress restaurant industry — a world fueled by adrenaline, urgency, and constant motion. When she first stepped into a yoga class at a local community center, she describes it as finally exhaling after holding her breath for years.

Yoga became the place where she could set down the tension and anxiety of work. It taught her how to release her shoulders, step back from the constant doing, and come back to center — no matter how busy life felt.

Karen brings that lived understanding into her teaching. She recognizes the high-adrenaline state many students arrive in, and she feels deeply grateful to offer tools that help balance it. Her classes focus on grounding, steady breath, and helping students leave with a felt sense of calm.

Her favorite words to hear after class are, “I feel so grounded.”

Karen teaches with the intention of offering practical tools that help people live more fully present and easeful lives — on and off the mat.
