  • Ryan, RYT 200

    Ryan first stepped onto the mat in 2007, but it wasn’t until 2010- when she discovered the fiery rhythm of hot vinyasa flow- that yoga truly lit her up from the inside out. As a former gymnast, the practice stirred something deep in her muscles and memory: the joy of movement, the thrill of challenge, and the quiet strength found in stillness. What began as a curiosity soon became a calling. Over the past fifteen years, Ryan’s personal practice has transformed alongside her life. That journey eventually led her to complete her 200-hr RYT through Yoga Alliance, with a focus on dynamic, breath-fueled Vinyasa. In Ryan’s classes, you can expect powerful flows and creative transitions. She loves to play with arm balances and inversions. Her teaching style encourages you to listen inward, move mindfully, and meet yourself at the edge of your comfort zone (with compassion, of course).

    Off the mat, Ryan is a full-time school psychologist dedicated to supporting youth mental health and wellness. She’s also a proud mom of three, an avid reader who rarely turns down a strong cup of coffee, and someone who believes that time outdoors is medicine. Join Ryan every Monday evening and Saturday morning for our Hot Power Hour Vinyasa, and Saturdays for our Core Burn.
