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.

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. 

Alex, a career English teacher, spent many years encouraging her students to decipher themes, to track motifs and to decode symbolism- all the basic ingredients in the tarot recipe. She was easily drawn to the study of tarot and developed a keen interest in intuitive readings. What began over 15 years ago as a fun hobby, has morphed into a lifelong love and practice. Alex believes tarot is a powerful lens through which to view one’s self and one’s place in the world. She utilizes multiple decks and a variety of spreads to give every querent a personalized reading. Bring your curiosity with you!

Leah Whyte spent nearly 15 years in Relationship and Project Management roles at an investment firm prior to becoming a yoga teacher. Along with completing several yoga teacher training programs, she pursued mindfulness studies through the Penn Program for Mindfulness. She is a certified Pranic Healer, Reiki Practitioner, and Spiritual Life Coach.

​

Inward Bound was formed by Leah and her twin sister, Jamie, in 2023. This venture began with an idea to offer mindfulness training to elementary school students. Together, Leah and Jamie created a kid-centered curriculum which they offered through after school clubs. The studio came to them a little while later, as a space to offer yoga classes to the community.

​

Leah enjoys holding space for anyone interested in yoga. Her teachings weave in opening the heart to lead life with love, honoring wherever you are in your life’s journey as a tool to aid in personal growth, and connecting with deeper aspects of the Self. She encourages building an awareness of oneself in order to avoid injury. She also focuses on proper alignment and special considerations for those with hyper mobility who may be prone to joint injury.
