I am Alexia and I fell in love with Pilates after seeing how it helped me relieve tension, improve my posture, and build real strength from the inside out after a back injury. What started as a personal practice quickly turned into a passion for helping others move with more ease and confidence. Through my Classical Mat Pilates training through The Ritual, I combine clear, precise cueing with a warm, encouraging approach to create classes that are both challenging and supportive.

Andrea found Pilates 20 years ago when a debilitating illness left her barely able to walk after over 17 years of being a fit and accomplished dancer. She was able to strengthen and create balance in her body that made her stronger than ever before. From her rehab with Pilates, she became certified and continued as a dancer and fitness instructor with emphasis on rehabilitation to help others achieve the same results. Classically trained, Andrea is one of the most sought out instructors by Physical Therapists and studios in the Pilates field for being able to read the body in front of her and having the knowledge to be versatile and dynamic so the client continues to evolve. After completing her 500 RYT she has created classes that combine both Yoga and Pilates for her students that love both methodologies and strengthen their practice. When you take her classes you will feel connected, strong and challenged. Most important of all you will have fun!

I fell in love with yoga because of how free it made my body feel. As someone who’s hypermobile, yoga gave me the space to stretch, release, and connect with my body in a way that felt liberating. Over time, I discovered Pilates—which brought balance to my practice by helping me build strength, stability, and a deeper understanding of how to move mindfully within my body. My love for movement led me to become certified to teach yoga and pilates, can’t wait to share my passion with you.

I found yoga at 14, but it became my way of life 16 years later. The shift of 2020 sparked deep transformation for me, including a 200 lb weight loss and profound spiritual growth. My mat became the place where body, mind, and spirit met, and where the desire to teach was born. The Ritual answered that call, guiding me through its 200-Hour Teacher Training and shaping me as both student and teacher. Today, I hold space for others to explore their own growth and self-discovery, carrying forward the studio’s legacy of community and transformation.

Yoga came into my daily life during college when I suffered a running injury that left me in crutches. At the moment, I was devastated but it was the start to something greater. I learned to be still, listen to my body and overall made me stronger in all aspects of life. You name it, yoga helped me through it. Today, I get to share my love of yoga with others. I create space to come as you are, work through mental barriers and ultimately connect with your breath. Paired with some good beats and community, nothing else can compare.

Yoga was something that I discovered while in graduate school, simply a way for those in the program to warm-up one's body and gain flexibility. Once I moved to Los Angeles my need to practice led me to a class, then a membership, then a teacher training and finally teaching. I have been blessed to lead people through their yoga practice for the past 6 years. During those years I have taught over 2000 classes including opportunities to work with the LA Dodgers, LA Rams, Lululemon, Sierra Canyons High School Basketball Team as well as many other groups around California. My style of teaching is playful organic movement with inspired themes. This naturally leads to creating a deeply whole experience that links us to the moment.

I grew up dancing and moving my body since I was 3, so it’s only natural I fell in love with yoga too! I got my 200 hour yoga teacher training in 2018, and have been deepening my practice ever since.

My goal is to get you out of your head and into your body, release any blocked energy, and learn how to flow with life on and off your mat!

I have been practicing yoga and its methods since 2008. I resonated with the feeling of confidence, peace and love; the practice gave me. From teaching my first class in Seattle, I have continued to appreciate my students and being a student herself. My life has taken me to live in and experience all four corners of the United States, as well as 4 ½ years in Europe, mainly London. Yoga is one thing that I have been able to take with me through the many facets of my life. I love sharing the feeling of stability and grounding that yoga has given me. I can’t wait to get in the room with you!

Yoga and dance are my two major passions in my life. I discovered yoga in 2022 while working on the development of a yoga/fitness app, and was immediately drawn to the practiceís unique blend of power, grace, and mindfulness.

Mom of 2 and wife! I have been practicing yoga for almost 10 years, and want to share all I’ve found in the practice including getting to know my inner true self, finding the present moment to land in, the most beautiful connection with the breath, getting in tune with your intuition and what you need in the moment and just feeling better overall and making connections within the community!

My love for yoga has been blossoming for over a decade. Yoga initially captured my interest by becoming a gateway to exploration, self-discipline, and a profound connection with my highest self. The practice provides me with a transformative space where I can cultivate not only physical strength but also inner resilience and a deep understanding of my own potential. Armed with a 500-hour teaching certification in Vinyasa, Hatha, and 26&2 yoga, I have been spreading the joy of yoga since 2019, creating spaces where students can feel free, invigorated, expressive, and empowered in their bodies. Beyond the yoga mat, you’ll find me baking sourdough bread, hiking, camping, and spending time with my dog, Zion.

I fell in love with yoga after the first class I took. Being a wife and mother of 3 constantly keeps me on my toes, and my yoga practice is a way to calm and center myself. Yoga has taught me to bring those calm and centered feelings from my mat to my everyday life. Through yoga I have awakened a trust in my body, my practice, and myself that was not there before. I am grateful for the ability to share yoga and all the benefits it has to offer with others. Mindful movement, breath work, balance, alignment, and focus are key factors in my approach to teaching. My goal is that every student feels their strongest inside and out and walks away from class feeling better than they did before.

Yoga is about connection. Not only breath to body, but with each other. We all have things we are going through, we come to our mats and we may not know each other's struggles but moving together to overcome those struggles creates a bond, a connection that is vital to healing. In my classes we will challenge ourselves. And through those challenges we will play, laugh, cry and love.

Everything I do in my life is about seeking balance, promoting self-expression, and finding joy in creativity. I am a financial advisor, singer/songwriter, and now a yoga teacher. I completed The Ritual’s 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2023, and it was one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. Yoga has allowed me to find peace in my body and mind, and truly discover my best self. I learned to love myself through this practice. As a teacher, I aim to give others this safe space to experiment, play, discover, and connect with their best selves. I like to incorporate motivating themes and fun music in my classes to deepen the experience and inspire natural movement. My class gives you the space to let go, be challenged, be grateful, and have fun! I am so excited to see you at the studio.

I have been a career firefighter for nearly 40 years, and a lifelong martial artist / instructor. 10 years ago, I began practicing yoga with the sole intention of "stretching" my beat up back. I quickly realized that there was much more magic in practicing yoga than stretching. I would leave class invigorated physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I immersed myself in the lifestyle, practicing; Hot Yoga, Vinyasa, lyengar, Ashtanga, Tai Chi, and studying yoga philosophy. I incorporated my yoga into my martial arts and into my everyday life. In 2018, | signed up for 200 hr Yoga Teacher Training, to better my yoga practice and to share my passion with others. I describe my teaching style as yoga, with a martial arts flare, taught with a compassionate command presence. I call it Peaceful Warriors.

Hi, I’m Talyn! I began competitive dance at the age of three and continued through graduation. Over the years, I developed a deep appreciation for movement and body awareness. During that time, I discovered Pilates by joining my mom in classes and quickly fell in love with how it strengthened and restored my body in ways nothing else could. My passion has since evolved into teaching, where I bring my dance background and love for Pilates together to help others feel strong, connected, and at home in their bodies.

As a retired Dancer of stage, film and television for 15 + yrs. throughout my career I was exposed to Yoga and would practice when I could in between dance jobs. It helped me to maintain and balance Mind, Body and Spirit. In time I truly fell in love with the practice. It not only replaced dance for me and healed me from some curve balls life tends to throw, it lead me to understanding my passion, my purpose. Yoga not only for me but for others I have witnessed has proven to be life changing physically, mentally and emotionally. For me… I cannot live without my Faith or my Yoga and being able to spread this wealth of knowledge and experience is a dream come true... I am so happy to be part of the The Ritual family and our growing community. I so look forward to the fun, growth and the Yoga Love we will all be sharing!
