Our story
We believe that yoga is for everyone and for every body. All of our teachers are certified yoga instructors who bring their expertise, compassion, energy, and love to every class. Regardless of the class you take, we want you to leave feeling stronger in body, mind, and spirit, and more connected to yourself and the world we share.
Owner and teacher Laura Ruby (RYT 200) discovered yoga following spinal surgery as a way to alleviate ongoing pain. The practice offered a "cure" (as long as she practiced regularly) and the added benefits of simply feeling better, more connected, and more grounded.
Laura earned her 200-hour teaching certification through Christa Masterangelo Joyce at Jala Yoga in 2018 and is a member of Yoga Alliance. She currently teaches Flow Yoga, Yoga Basics, Traditional Yoga, and Saturday Morning Yoga.
Tawny Banville's journey with yoga began in 2013. Within the first year of her practice, she began to truly understand the significance of getting out of the mind and into the body.
She completed her first 200-hour teacher training at Wilmington Yoga Center in 2015 and has since completed Ayurveda trainings with Hilary Garivaltis and Sahara Rose, and most recently completed a 200-hour yoga and anatomy training with Brett Larkin in 2019.
Tawny has experience with vinyasa flow, prenatal yoga, gentle yoga, restorative classes, and meditation. She currently teaches Gentle Yoga.
