Megan Wittman
Owner/Operator/Head Instructor
Megan is a 200 hour RYT with extra credentials in prenatal yoga. While Megan values all the different types of yoga, her favorite is vinyasa. She also takes special interest in creating unique event experiences for the community to enjoy, or crafting the perfect moment for a private group.
Yoga is both Megan’s art and her method of healing herself and others. She loves to be creative with her flow sequencing, and feels that yoga has strengthened her connection to the world around her. She enjoys helping her students feel better about themselves both physically and mentally.

Marsha is a 100 hour RYT with an appreciation for a slower practice. You can find her at the studio on Tuesday nights leading the restorative yoga class. She is passionate about helping students find peaceful relaxation through restorative yoga.
While teaching yoga is Marsha’s second job, you will never catch her putting it on the back burner - she is basically “#yogagoals” with a mini practice sanctuary inside of her home.
