Meet Paula
My yoga practice started in 2016. Being an athlete my whole life I found the practice to be challenging and humbling. With most things, I felt like I needed to be good at it. So I dove into the practice until at one point I was on my mat six days a week.
While I started for the physical benefits I never realized how much more I would get out of it. Yes, of course the connection to body and breath and spirit, but also community. Yoga reminded me that I didn’t have to compete against anyone, even myself. I didn’t need to be good at it, I just needed to show up, always do my best, and have grace. Oh, how that carried over to everything else in my life. This practice grounded me while I was in my 20’s and lost, and reminded me of the power and strength in me.
I took my first Yoga Teacher Training in 2019, and a second in 2023. Teaching has been just as rewarding humbling as my personal practice.
Outside of yoga I love to connect with loved ones, be in nature, dance, be silly and practice other formats of movement and exercise. I look forward to flowing, playing and connecting with you all!

Meet Jarely
¡Bienvenidos/Welcome! Movement has been a part of my life since I was 6, starting with gymnastics and soccer. Through those early years, I discovered the joys of staying active, but it wasn't until I found yoga in 2017 that I truly felt the transformative power of movement. Yoga quickly became my haven, a place where I found solace, wiped away tears, and learned to nurture the most important relationship—with myself.
Now, as a guide, my mission is to create a cozy, welcoming space for everyone, especially my fellow Latina sisters. Being a first-generation Mexican American, I know firsthand the struggle of carving out time for self-care. In my classes, I don't just teach asanas—I share moments of breath and connection that go beyond the physical. I believe each inhale and exhale is a step on the path to self-discovery and well-being. So come join me on this journey. Your presence isn't just valued; it's celebrated with open arms.
When I’m not practicing yoga you can find me reading at a coffee shop or running with my pup, Reese.
