Brittany believes in the “2+ Theory.” She’s always on the go, and always doing more than one thing. You’ll see many fitness influences in Brittany’s classes since she’s a former competitive dancer and certified in The BEYOND Method and Baron Baptiste yoga. Brittany doesn’t believe in “quick fixes,” but instead in lifestyle changes and the total integration of mind, body and spirit to help achieve wellness. She tries to incorporate spurts of cardio, flexibility and weight training into her classes in order to design an all-encompassing workout. Brittany stresses that we cannot expect the benefits of cardio by only doing Pilates or pedaling, and vice versa. A healthy lifestyle is not a one-step approach. It’s 2+. Read the profile >>

Carter first took a Yoga class in his sophomore year in college because a friend of his didn't want to go by himself. The friend never went back; but, for Carter, this single act set him upon the path that has led him to this very moment. Carter continued his Yoga practice through graduation from Southern Methodist University in 2007 and began work as a junior associate in a risk management and insurance group.

I credit my yoga path to the persistence of a friend that I now, and will always, hold dear to my heart. Thank you, Nelinda. In 2002, Nelinda introduced me to my first yoga class. I considered myself fairly athletic, but was amazed by the challenges I faced in that hour. I struggled to get through the standing series and by the time we hit the floor I felt as if I had been wrung out completely physically, mentally, and emotionally. I was eager to come back the next day, and the next, and the next. By day 4 into my practice I realized that the focus of my workout had morphed from being about how many calories I burned, what muscles I was working, into something much deeper. The world around me became easier; my child was better behaved, people I met seemed nicer, and small things that used... Read the profile >>
