Sara Hubbard E-RYT 200
Offerings:
Tuesday 9-10am Vinyasa Yoga
​Saturday 9-10am Vinyasa Yoga
Sara first stepped onto her yoga mat in 2010 looking for a physical practice to complement running. Not knowing what to expect, she left her first yoga class feeling a sense of steadiness and ease which ignited the beginning of her yoga journey. Along the way, yoga has become a safe space to re-connect to her authentic self, manage stress and anxiety from the demands of everyday life, release and let go, and slow down and be present. Her practice has evolved from just a physical practice to yoga having a positive impact on her life both on and off the mat, allowing her to live a more meaningful and purposeful life.
 
Sara’s mission is to create a safe and inclusive space for students to get out of their heads and into their hearts, while honoring their body and individual needs. As a lifelong learner, Sara is committed to continuous growth as a yogi, teacher, and human, and is currently undergoing her 300-hour advanced yoga teacher training with Down Under School of Yoga. Off the mat, Sara enjoys running, traveling with her husband, and spending time in nature with her two pups. Sara offers studio classes, private sessions, online holistic health coaching, and more. You can find out more about Sara by connecting with her on instagram @saraannhubbard and visiting her website at www.sarahubbard.com.
Kirsten van der Bil E-RYT-200, RYPT, LMT
Offerings:
Thursday 9-10:15 Vinyasa Yoga
​Friday 11-12:15 Gentle Yoga
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.
Gordon Kanzer

Wednesday 8-9am Gentle Kripalu Yoga 
Gordon made the transition from helping patients as a Physician to helping students as a Yoga Instructor. His background as a Radiologist gives him a unique perspective on the human body. He received his 200 hour yoga teacher certification from the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Wellness in the Berkshires, aligning himself with their philosophy of inclusiveness, regardless of limitations or abilities. His knowledge of health and wellness helps students to listen to their bodies, practicing yoga with ahimsa, the yogic philosophy of doing no harm. He experienced both a spiritual and physical transformation through yoga and would like to help others gain the clarity to discover their authentic selves, peace and well-being. In the interest of connecting with the community and helping those with physical and mental challenges, he devotes part of his teaching to Yoga Neighborhood, a non-profit with a mission of bringing yoga to Cape Cod to all regardless of resources or challenges. He is happily married with three grown children and a long time resident of Cape Cod.
