We have a new teacher subbing for us this Saturday and next; Karla McGuire will be in the studio! Come say hi! She is wonderful!
Bio: My love of yoga began when I was gifted a prenatal yoga DVD while pregnant, and what started as a way to connect with my body grew into a lifelong passion. After practicing yoga for over 22 years, I began teaching in 2017, following my Baptiste yoga teacher training at Firefly in Fishkill, NY.
Over the years, I’ve taught a variety of styles, including Baptiste, Hot 26, Bikram, slow flow, restorative, gentle, chair, and wall yoga. I also owned a yoga, Pilates, and barre studio in Beacon, NY, where I loved sharing the benefits of movement and mindfulness with my community.
My interest in holistic wellness led me to complete my Ayurvedic Health Counselor training at Kripalu. I believe yoga is a practice that supports us both on and off the mat, helping us build strength, find balance, and reconnect with ourselves.
Now happily settled back in my hometown of Plattsburgh, I feel grateful to be surrounded by the natural beauty of the Adirondacks and Lake Champlain. When I’m not on my mat, you’ll likely find me hiking, skiing, kayaking, paddleboarding, biking, or simply enjoying time outdoors. I love sharing yoga with others and creating a welcoming space where students can meet themselves exactly where they are, breathe a little deeper, and leave feeling more connected, grounded, and at home in their bodies. To me, yoga is about so much more than the poses—it’s about connection, curiosity, and finding joy in the journey, both on and off the mat.
