Rainbow’s  journey into yoga began in her 30s as a curiosity, stumbling into a local studio. As the years unfolded into my 40s, my dedication to yoga deepened. Driven by a passion for knowledge and a desire to inspire, I completed Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) in Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga. I also completed a Yin Yoga certification and Sound Healing training.  As a yoga instructor, my heart is open, and my arms are wide, welcoming all who seek refuge on the mat. My mission is to create a space of acceptance and belonging where individuals from all walks of life can come together. I bring a sense of structure and consistency to my teachings, guiding students through sequences that promote balance and release – not just of the body, but of the mind and spirit as well. As a lifelong learner, I believe that growth is a never-ending journey, and I am committed to evolving alongside all of you.

My name is Alysah and in 2021, I completed my 200-hour program at The Space with Kristen McQuaide. As someone who struggled with anxiety, my mat became a sanctuary for me and allowed me to connect with my body and mind in such a powerful way. I am so excited to share the light and joy that I have experienced throughout my yoga journey with all of you!

My name is Mike, I am an avid martial artist and explorer of all things that are unique and
interesting in life. I began practicing yoga in 2016, at age 43, at a local gym out of curiosity and to try something different other than weight lifting. I had some injuries and thought yoga might offer relief from chronic pain. I knew it was a way to improve physical fitness and help with
emotional balance and well-being, but what I found was much more than that. Yoga helped me connect my body, breath, and mind in a way that is transformative. As my body got stronger, I also began to tune in with the subtleties of the body and mind, and how things are all interconnected. Having fallen in love with the practice of yoga, I decided to enroll and complete my 200-hr Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) in 2022 with the aim of deepening my understanding,
practice, and spreading this wonderful jewel that is yoga. I hope to see you all on the mat so we can all explore and enjoy this wonderful journey together.
