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.

After years of athletic activity taking a toll on her body, Denisse began to experience joint pain. Doctors told her that she had some deterioration of cartilage in her knees and hips which could be the onset of osteoarthritis. This new “diagnosis” forced her to look for alternative methods of exercise with less impact and stress on her body. Enters yoga. She knew that she could still stay fit doing yoga without the “wear and tear” on her joints. After a few months of practicing yoga consistently, her joint inflammation and pain ceased. In addition to the physical benefits, Denisse also found clarity and balance in the mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of her well being. After practicing yoga for a few years and knowing its transformational capacity firsthand, Denisse decided to pursue her yoga teacher certification so that she could introduce and share this phenomenon with others. In her classes, Denisse creates an inviting environment that encourages yogis of all levels to let go of judgement and ego.
