Reece

Reece has been interested in fitness his entire life. He became a competition swimmer at the age of 4. At 16 he started out as a long distance runner in high school, and began bodybuilding at the age of 21. After 15 years of this 'non-competition,' amateur weight training he became interested in the meditative qualities of yoga upon, among other reasons, reading about Bikram, a celebrated bodybuilder who also later became a yogi.

He has been practicing yoga ever since, and at the age of 39, and after 7 years of elementary education, decided to pursue a second career as a yoga instructor and is a graduate of the Yoga Den™ 200 hour Teacher Training program. He incorporates a broad range of disciplines, anywhere from a restorative 'hatha' yoga, to the more strenuous 'ashtanga' style. Please join him on his personal journey.

Sandra Perry

Sandra began her yoga journey in 1999 and has been in love with yoga ever since. She immediately noticed the benefits of power yoga, not just physically but mentally as well. Uniting the mind with the body through the BREATH, Sandra discovered that a quiet mind and open heart allowed her to enjoy being in the moment! Wanting to share the many benefits of yoga, Sandra became a yoga instructor and is a graduate of the Yoga Den™ 200 hour Teacher Training program. Practices are fun, filled with eclectic music and powerful flows allowing the mind to surrender -- to just BREATHE.
