Classes vary from super gentle, gentle, beginners and core challenging.  Learn to feel your body move and use muscles you didn’t know you had. Small, precise and effective mat based exercises for all ages and abilities. Improve your core strength, balance, posture, flexibility and mobility. Focus your mind within a fun, friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

Liv loves creative vinyasa, intuitive movement and helping people feel good in their bodies. “Cultivating strength, softness and openness is the name of the game – both on and off the mat!” As an actor and movement artist, yoga has long been a part of Liv’s journey. Her classes are influenced by her passion for storytelling, a belief in movement as medicine, and a deep curiosity towards all things spiritual.

Talitha is a certified LYT Yoga instructor, functional movement specialist, and energy healer with a background in Exercise Science & Kinesiology. After recovering from knee surgery through functional yoga, she was able to return to competitive tennis and became passionate about helping others move pain-free. Her energizing, core-focused vinyasa flow improves mobility, rewires movement patterns, and builds strength for everyday life. With an emphasis on alignment and efficiency, Talitha’s classes relieve tension, prevent injuries, and enhance overall well-being. Each session ends with a grounding meditation, leaving you feeling restored, centered, and refreshed.
