Yoga has been a part of my life for over 8 years, and my practice has helped me grow happier, stronger and healthier both on and off the mat. Yoga inspires me to live each moment more mindfully. I completed my Practical Yoga Instructor Training with Aerobics and Fitness Association of America. I will always be a student of the practice and am deeply grateful for the loving wisdom my teachers have shared with me. In my classes, I love to teach Beginners Vinyasa Yoga. Giving students a solid foundation of the practice, increasing their strength, balance and flexibility, encouraging deep breathing and a dose of inspiration to help you "Be the Blessing". I seek to help others be the best version of themselves with yoga, and my hope is that you step off the mat feeling grateful, fulfilled and present.

Evan “Eazy” Hall found yoga as many of us do, when he needed it the most. Over indulgence of a sedentary lifestyle led to constant back pain and crippling respiratory issues. It was in the ER where his girlfriend suggested that he do some research into the world of yoga. Shortly after being introduced to yoga he knew that one day he had to share the practice that not only healed his body, but changed his perception of himself and the world around him.
He has been sharing his ever evolving practice for over 4 years now with classes ranging from Hatha Yoga to Rocket Yoga and even specialty handstand and mobility classes. A fun and charismatic individual you can expect plenty of laughter, a good work out, lots of inversions, and a welcoming atmosphere in all of Eazy’s classes. CONTACT ON INSTAGRAM @YOGAPLAYGROUND |

Kymmi is a small-town Jersey-bred fitness nerd who geeks out on fascial release methods, green juices and inversions. After graduating from Rutgers University, Kymmi started her career post-grad as a digital marketing specialist in the music + media + entertainment world. Working underneath the likes of Sean “Diddy” Combs and Russell Simmons, Kymmi is no stranger to the beautiful chaos that comes with life and its triumphs.
In 2014 a devastating knee injury robbed Kymmi of her mobility. What began as turmoil and confusion ended in enlightenment and blessings beyond imagination. In search of movement and mobility, this injury led her back to an old flame: yoga. And this go around was different, like an old coat that she never realized she had loved so much. Kymmi fell in love. The practice was able to bring her the same challenges and satisfaction that any workout could while both stimulating and nourishing her mind. The relationship, like any worthwhile union, is still blossoming, transforming and growing.
Kymmi’s mission is help people maximize their performance and their lives by gaining increased body + mind awareness and flexibility. Kymmi is certified in Fascial Stretch Therapy™ Level 2, Yoga, Cupping, and Cycling.
Kymmi offers a wide array of practice methods that have been tailored to desk warriors, fitness professionals and athletes in the NFL, NBA, CLF, MLB and MLS. When Kymmi's not posing inverted, she loves reading, traveling, running and, of course, handstands.
