CORRINE BARRIOS
Yoga Instructor
When I first unrolled my yoga mat, I was 189lbs, terrified, self-conscious of my weight and not sure what to expect. I have spent years with doctors, medications, and treatments for my auto immune, which disrupted not only my digestive system and my life as a whole. I searched high and low for a cure, paid a fortune for medications, powders and potions. Yoga was something I had experienced throughout the years, but insisted that running, swimming was exercise not yoga. Through yoga I have found, peace, confidence, strength, increased flexibility, not to mention a working digestive system and the best exercise for my mind, body and soul. My intention is to design safe, fun, and transformative classes for students across all levels of experience and to welcome all shapes, sizes with love, acceptance and an open heart.

LINDA KAY ARNOLD
Massage Therapist
I recognized the beauty of massage 20 years ago when I was training for marathons and triathlons and was also a single mom of two small kids. It not only reduced my stress which gave me a more nurtured, grounded disposition but also helped me recover from strenuous training and races. It also conditioned my tissues and muscles for any potential injury from overuse plus gave moments of bliss. With this experience, I tailor make each massage that incorporate a number of modalities so that it best suits your needs each time you come to see me. I feel that it’s a luxury but also a necessity for both your emotional and physical health.
