Judy has been practicing yoga daily since she first stepped on her mat in 2004. She has been teaching in studios and fitness clubs since 2007. Judy has trained in four lineages: Kripalu, Viniyoga, Classical and Inner Fire. Her gentle classes are an eclectic mix of these traditions with a plethora of modifications and adaptations. She has a deep love for Restorative Yoga and has taught hundreds of local teachers the Art of Restorative Yoga.

​

She is also trained in yin,  trauma informed, yoga dance and children’s yoga. In addition to her signature Restorative Yoga Teacher Training that she started teaching in 2010, she leads a Meditation Training, a Chair Yoga Training, and A Gentle Yoga Training. Judy just finished co-leading a 300 hr advanced yoga teacher training and she has co-created and co-lead five 200 hour teacher trainings starting in 2017. 

​

Judy’s philosophy and the name of her business is Yoga for Everybody. When she first started teaching, some studios didn’t have props, very few folks were giving modifications and “ gentle” yoga wasn’t really gentle!  She created a mat yoga style that was not just for the young, lean and physically fit. She welcomes everyone to her classes especially brand new beginners who think they “ can’t do yoga”.

Brigid (She/Her) works predominantly as an occupational therapist (OT), working in both geriatrics and early intervention. She began practicing yoga during her early education but her love for yoga grew during her academic studies learning the endless benefits of yoga practice for rehabilitative benefits.

Brigid is passionate about the use of yoga practices in the health care space. As a yoga instructor and an OT she strives to help others find balance and harmony in their everyday lives.

Mary has been practicing yoga for the last ten years, but fell deeply in love with the practice once she became a mother. When her son was only a year old she felt a calling to deepen her own practice and embarked on her YTT journey. Through her training she discovered an appreciation for trauma informed cueing, a passion for anatomy, and a gratitude for community.
 

Mary has experienced the therapeutic benefits of yoga, especially as a postpartum mother, and hopes to bring that to her students. In her classes, you will find a balance of strength and flexibility as well as the use of props to go deeper into a pose or to experience a pose differently. Yoga is meant to meet you where you are; Mary practices this by modifying postures that make sense for your anatomy. Walking into her classes, you will feel her maternal energy, as she is a deeply empathetic and caring person. As a graduate of English, you will notice a nod to poetry, writing, and yoga philosophy in Mary’s teachings to help her students marry their practice to daily living.
 

In Mary’s free time you will find her working away at her garden, writing at the library, or playing in the mountains with her family.

Lisa began her journey with yoga back in 2010. Her first class was prenatal yoga, as she was seeking alternative methods to aid in the discomforts of pregnancy and to strengthen the bond between mother and child. After her first class she was hooked. She had found that sense of peace and calm that comes from uniting mind, body and spirit.

In 2013, she decided to take the next step in deepening her practice by enrolling in the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Gateway Bodyworks in Phoenixville, PA. Since then, she has become a certified Reiki practitioner and in 2025 completed a 300-hour Inner Fire Yoga Teacher Training at EveryBody Yoga and Wellness.

Lisa began teaching in 2014 with a Hatha style background. Every class she teaches will be different, as she teaches to the specific needs or ability of the students in each class. Her classes are taught in a flowing style linking each posture with breath. Her intention for each class is to allow her students to become more self-aware and to strengthen their own self-love.

Linda specializes in gentle, slow-flow practices that welcome beginners and supports practitioners of all levels.  Her mission is creating a welcoming space where everyone – regardless of age, flexibility, gender or experience – feels comfortable stepping on to the mat.

​

While Linda's yoga journey began over 20 years ago, she understands that starting yoga can feel overwhelming. Her goal is to break down those barriers by offering simple, approachable and mindful movement practices that help you connect with your body, breath and inner peace.  Whether you’re looking to build strength, improve flexibility or simply find a moment of calm in your day, her classes will support you on your journey.

Linda likes to spend time with friends and family, especially her 2-year-old grandson.  As a full-time nanny, her days are mostly full.  When she can, she loves to create at the pottery studio, reading novels and working in her garden. 

Daniela began her formal study of yoga in 2019 after nearly a decade of dedicated personal practice. What started as a physical journey soon became a source of deep transformation, bringing balance, clarity, and resilience to her life and to those around her. 

For Daniela, yoga is an art, a science, and a discipline—a multidimensional practice that integrates principles of anatomy, physiology, psychology, and neuroscience, to name
a few, and puts them into action. Rooted in the Yoga Sutras’ definition of yoga as “the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind,” she sees yoga as both action and state: the disciplined practice that calms the mind, and the serene stillness that follows.

Daniela believes that yoga sustains us, supports our goals, and helps us navigate life’s challenges. It is a path of self-acceptance and an opportunity to transcend self-imposed
limitations. After each practice, she feels more positive and grounded—and she finds joy in guiding others to experience similar transformations. She invites everyone to approach yoga without prejudice, with an open mind, curiosity,
and the willingness to learn more about themselves.

Jenna is a grounded and intentional yoga teacher who approaches practice as a return — to presence, to breath, and to the quiet wisdom within. Her classes invite students to slow down, connect inward, and move with awareness.

​

Rooted in mindfulness and guided by curiosity, Jenna’s relationship with yoga began as a way to find balance and strength in the midst of life’s transitions. As a mother, yoga has become her steady anchor — a practice that continually teaches her to show up with patience, presence, and compassion, both on and off the mat.

​

Her teaching blends gentle, breath-led flow with moments of stillness and reflection. Through thoughtful sequencing, mindful pacing, and calm guidance, Jenna creates a grounding environment where students can feel centered, open, and at ease in their own bodies.

​

Described as calm, intentional, and heart-led, Jenna’s hope is that each class offers a space for self-discovery and renewal — a reminder that peace and connection are always available, even within the beautiful busyness of everyday life.

Leah Whyte is a yoga teacher, mindfulness practitioner, spiritual life coach, Pranic healer, Reiki practitioner, and End-of-Life Doula whose work centers around connection, self-awareness, and embodied healing.

Prior to teaching yoga, Leah spent nearly 15 years working in relationship and project management roles within the financial services industry. Her own personal journey eventually led her toward mindfulness, yogic philosophy, nervous system regulation, and holistic healing practices that support living with greater presence, purpose, and authenticity.

Alongside completing multiple yoga teacher training programs, Leah pursued mindfulness studies through the Penn Program for Mindfulness and continues to explore the integration of movement, breath, meditation, spirituality, and self-inquiry as pathways for transformation and growth.

​

In 2023, Leah co-founded Inward Bound with her twin sister, Jamie. What began as a vision to bring mindfulness education to children through after-school programs organically evolved into a community-centered yoga and wellness space dedicated to supporting the whole person.

​

Leah's classes blend elements of Hatha yoga, mindful Flow, breath work, alignment, yogic philosophy, and meditation into practices that encourage students to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with themselves beyond the distractions of everyday life. Her teaching emphasizes mindful movement, awareness, compassion, and creating a supportive space where students of all levels can explore both strength and softness, on and off the mat.

​

She believes yoga is not about perfection, but about presence: a practice of remembering who we are beneath fear, conditioning, and constant doing. Outside of the studio, Leah enjoys music, nature, meaningful conversation, lifelong learning, and creating spaces where people feel safe to simply be themselves.
