Vicky is an E - RYT 200 certified yoga instructor whose love for yoga began at a young age. She first trained in Ashtanga yoga, completing her certification at Ashtanga Yoga Puerto Rico in 2017, and has since explored a wide range of yoga styles, bringing a well-rounded and adaptable approach to her teaching.

Passionate about lifelong learning and holistic wellness, Vicky is also a licensed massage therapist and has spent years studying both physical and energetic anatomy. Her background allows her to bridge eastern and western approaches to health, helping students better understand not only how the body moves, but how it heals, adapts, and thrives.

Vicky has served as co trainer for Sweatfluence's previous two 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training programs and will return as lead Trainer for the 2027 training. She is known for her ability to make anatomy, alignment, and yoga philosophy approachable and engaging, while creating a supportive environment where students feel empowered to learn, grow, and develop confidence in their own voice as teachers.

Dedicated, knowledgeable, and deeply invested in her students' success, Vicky brings a unique blend of expertise, compassion, and authenticity to every class and training she leads. Her passion for teaching, commitment to continued education, and ability to connect with people make her an invaluable mentor for the next generation of yoga teachers.

Meg discovered yoga back in 2011 and decided to deepen her love for the practice by becoming a 200hr RYT in 2019. As time has passed, she has grown passionate about making yoga accessible to everyone and has become certified in childrens, prenatal and restorative yoga, as well.

For Meg, yoga is not just physical movement- it’s a lifestyle. Her teaching heavily reflects her practice which is grounded in proper alignment and deep breathing. In her classes you can expect to stretch, unwind and find that magical stillness that only happens at the end of an intentional practice.

Meg is also the founder of Aspen Yoga, where she specializes in working with children and adults with special needs. She brings not only extensive business experience, but also a diverse and multifaceted teaching background that spans a wide range of populations, abilities, and learning styles. Her unique combination of entrepreneurial leadership and inclusive teaching expertise makes her an invaluable resource for aspiring studio owners and yoga professionals alike.

Courtney is the founder and CEO of Sweatfluence, a growing yoga franchise built on the belief that yoga should be accessible, welcoming, and deeply rooted in community. After earning her RYT 200 certification, she began teaching yoga in 2016 and opened the first Sweatfluence studio in Old Saybrook in 2017. What started as a single studio has since grown into multiple locations, with plans to continue expanding into communities across the country.

Over the past decade, Courtney has led thousands of classes, hosted international retreats, particpated in several yoga teacher training programs, and built one of Connecticut's fastest-growing yoga brands. Her expertise extends beyond teaching into studio operations, leadership, marketing, community building, and entrepreneurship.

While Courtney is no longer involved in the day-to-day mentorship and training of teacher trainees, she remains actively involved as the owner and visionary behind Sweatfluence. Throughout the program, she serves as a resource for students interested in studio ownership, business development, leadership, branding, and building a sustainable career in the yoga industry.

Jess, an E-RYT 200, has been teaching yoga for over 10 years. Originally trained in vinyasa with influences from ashtanga and power yoga, she continues to explore new, playful ways of moving and bringing that knowledge to her students. For Jess, yoga is more than physical—it’s a pathway to emotional, spiritual, and energetic connection, and ultimately to the divine.

Her journey has led her to lead retreats, design workshops, grow studios both in person and online, and share the practice with people around the world. She loves teaching students of all levels and has a special passion for mentoring teachers—helping them find their unique voice, refine their skills, and build confidence. Jess has also studied restorative yoga, meditation, anatomy, and hand balancing, always expanding her knowledge to share more deeply.

Yoga has been one of Elizabeth’s guiding lights since she was 16. In 2019, she completed her Yoga Teacher Training and has since expanded her practice as a Reiki Level III Practitioner, Meditation Guide, and Sound Healing Practitioner. She weaves these modalities together to create holistic and transformative experiences for her students.

Elizabeth’s teaching emphasizes balance—yin and yang, effort and ease, movement and stillness. She encourages students to find harmony within themselves, aligning with the natural rhythms of life and nature. From this place of balance, we can open to healing, creativity, love, and wisdom.

Elizabeth is continually inspired by the power of yoga and energy healing, and she feels honored to help others reconnect with their inner light.
