OUR TEACHERS

Samantha Corbit

I'm an introverted lover of people and strive to share from that place in my heart to allow a space of self healing through the practice of yoga. I'd be on the beach every day if I could...coffee in one hand and a glass of wine in the other!

Maggie Olds

I am a wife, momma, vinyasa lover, creator, vegetarian eating, always learning & spreading light. Yoga is what grounds me. The practice of doing the healing work on the mat to share and spread the love off the mat.

Allie Jones

I am a forever student. My love of nature, animals, learning, and yoga are what ground me and fill my soul. I’ve lost count of the number of house plants I have, my dogs run my house, my husband always makes sure the fridge is stocked with cheese, and I usually have at least 3 books I am reading at a time. My community is my family and my inner world feeds my outer world.

Erin Mann

The camaraderie and sweetness of collective inhales and exhales continues to draw me to practice and teach in community settings. As a yoga teacher (and human) my personal values are anchored in cultivating a welcoming, safe, and inclusive culture. I try not to take myself too seriously, on and off the mat, and hope to convey some of that lightness while teaching. I am a curious student of life, knowing my partner and three kiddos will always be my greatest teachers.

Laurie Matheny

I’m a certified yoga instructor (RYT-200) currently pursuing my 300-hour certificate. I’m passionate about continuously learning and exploring new depths in my yoga practice and sharing it with others. In addition to teaching, I enjoy gardening, hiking, and personal growth.

Nicole Coss

Find me at YC teaching “HIIT and Yoga Fusion” and “Yin and Yoga Nidra”… as a true libra, I am all about balancing the scales to find center.

Katie Frey

200 YRT certified and feeling an immense gratitude to practice and teach. When I sit down to plan a class, I reflect on philosophy and alignment, hoping to facilitate opportunities for people to connect to themselves where they are on their journey. When not practicing or teaching, I am hanging out with my dog, running, adventuring and spending time with loved ones.

Preety Otal

I often find myself bringing up the idea of acknowledgement as a step in your internal and external Yoga when teaching (and practicing!) - I find it to be an all-encompassing reminder that this soulful joyous work is continuous, liquid, and meant to be honored in connection. So to fulfill that strength, my classes often are compassionate challenge - even if that's a mental challenge of finding stillness in ease! I look forward to sharing time and space in practice, honoring that same journey in all of you.

Sara Franklin

Hi. I’m Sara. Dog mom, yoga guide, aunt, daughter, sister, friend, Montessori guide, assistant swim coach and outdoor enthusiast. Rosie (the pupper) and I love to be in the mountains, woods or near bodies of water. I’ve recently loved paddle boarding and sewing. I have a classroom full of 29 amazing individuals, I love the smell of the pool deck and conduct yoga/dryland routines for swim teams in the area. The feeling of freedom from being outside, warmth of a yoga room, asana practice, meditation and calmness of the day at The Schvits helps brings me balance. I look forward to seeing you on the mat.

JoJo Campos

Love all things energy and witchy! When not guiding people to breathe, stretch, and channel their inner magic..I’m planning my next trip, negotiating with my teenager (who may or may not listen), or trying to learn just one more thing. Truly grateful to share space and remind you that life is messy - and that’s exactly what makes it magical!
