Philosophy on Yoga & Life:
Leah lives by the Yoga philosophies on and off her mat. Her yoga journey started during her study abroad experience in Australia, where she immediately fell in love with the practice after waking up from a blissful savasana nap. Leah’s biggest passion outside of yoga is traveling, and yoga has helped her feel at home, even in places oceans away from Boston. Practicing yoga has been the staple of her adult life, and teaching is the space where she feels most herself.
You can expect a blend of Vinyasa and Yin style flows with a focus on listening to your body in Leah’s class. By incorporating options, flowing movements, and humor, she strives to create a welcoming space for all. With a focus on connecting breath to movement to music to lighting, she curates an immersive experience designed to bring you out of the daily routines of life. In a busy world, Leah hopes that the time we spend together in the studio can be time for your individual practice of self-care and self-study.
Leah’s goal is for you to leave class feeling a little bit taller, lighter, and with a smile on your face. Inspired by the teachings of yoga beyond the physical asana practices, she weaves in learnings that can be carried off the mat.

EMMA EVANS
Spinning Instructor

Philosophy on Fitness & Life:
Emma brings the same drive she once poured into competitive running and rowing (including many racing regattas on the Charles River)—into every spin class she leads. Now balancing a fast-paced corporate career with her passion for fitness, she knows firsthand how important it is to reset your mind and recharge your body before or after a long workday. Her “ride to the rhythm” style blends heart-pumping sprints, powerful hill climbs, and energizing playlists designed to make you forget you’re working out. Emma’s philosophy is simple: when you feel strong on the bike, you show up stronger in life.
