Yoga and meditation have been a part of my life for over 25 years and has been the saving grace through many of life's challenging experiences. I use my knowledge and growth to inspire students to continue pushing forward, and believe in the strength and beauty of every moment and every breath of every day. Yoga inspires me to meet each moment with mindfulness and to cultivate happiness and joy with whomever I meet.
My studies in yoga and nutrition started over 30 years ago, when I became vegetarian and concerned with the humane treatment of animals. I dove into educating myself in many areas of wellness, including over 2000 hours of formal yoga teacher training as well as culinary school to adapt classical cooking to a healthier approach to eating. After graduate school and teaching health, family consumer science and physical education, I realized that my impact on changing the world was greater and opened innerglow yoga. The studios and school are my life's work. I teach public and private yoga classes, public and private cooking classes, one on one coaching to live your best life and continue to learn and grow from everyone I meet. I live life as a student first and am deeply grateful for the loving wisdom my teachers have shared. Let's grow together.

Kirsten van der Bil
​yoga teacher and licensed massage therapist 

practice with Kirsten
Monday 11:00-12:00pm gentle yoga for strength
Monday 6:00-7:30pm prenatal yoga
Thursday 9:00-10:00am resistance band flow
Thursday 11:00-12:00pm gentle yoga for relaxation
Beginner Series 

Kirsten's first introduction to yoga was finding a stack of old books and manuals. The writings of Amrit Desai, Paramahansa Yogananda, and Ram Das offered her a glimpse into a system of practice that she deeply recognized. Home practice and self study brought her to a 200 hour foundational training with Diane Kovanda and Kind Yoga School in 2011. Currently, Kirsten studies Embodyoga with developer Patty Townsend, and is working towards her 500 hour certification under Patty's Guidance. Kirsten recently completed a 90 hour prenatal teacher training with Corrine Andrews, owner of Yoga Center Amherst and developer of Birthing Mama, an online program for prenatal yoga and wellness.

Kirsten attended Spa Tech Institute of Massage Therapy and is a 650 hour Licensed Massage Therapist as of March 2017. Through therapeutic touch, Kirsten's greatest wish is to give a tangible form to the practice of yoga. By communicating subtly through touch and differentiating different layers of tissue, her clients gain an embodied sense of their own anatomy and alignment.

Wednesday 6:00-7:00pm yin and yang yoga

After raising three children and growing her business in Central Massachusetts, Danielle moved to Cape Cod with her husband, marking the beginning of a new chapter.

Sue Andersen 

practice with Sue
Tuesday 6:00-7:15pm yin yoga

I’m Sue Andersen, a yoga instructor who works with people that have experienced loss and are grieving through yoga and movement. Many who have heard of the benefits of yoga may be afraid to take the next step - but you don't need to be. All beginners welcome!

​Through years of practice I found balance and peace as a student and joy as a teacher. Meditation, mindfulness and breath work are the foundational elements that connect the physical to the spiritual practice, and are key to my teaching style. 

I'm excited for everyone to experience these life changing benefits. Whether I'm guiding a vinyasa, yin or gentle yoga class, my goal is to help students find their own practice and to enjoy all the benefits yoga brings.
