Bianca Fantoni
When it comes to yoga, Bianca's always been a bit of a technique nerd - in the best way possible! Her eye for alignment and knack for dreaming up fun, challenging sequences keep her students coming back for more. She's constantly geeking out over new yoga knowledge, diving deep into trainings and workshops to level up her teaching game.
Recently, she poured her heart into advanced studies with Briohny Smith at Aligned Yoga School, soaking up every bit of wisdom from their 300-hour program. But what really gets her fired up? Passing on everything she's learned. After 11 years of dedicated practice and study, Bianca took the leap to launch her own Yoga Teacher Training program, where she gets to mentor new teachers and watch them blossom into confident instructors.
Beyond the studio, Bianca's living her best mom life with her awesome little crew - a 9-year-old son and twin 5-year-old daughters who she homeschools. Whether she's whipping up something tasty in the kitchen or taking her kiddos on random adventures, she brings that same nurturing energy to everything she does.
True to her intuitive nature (hello, Cancer sun!), Bianca lives to take care of others - whether that's guiding students through a tricky pose or creating space for future teachers to find their voice. It's just who she is, on and off the mat.
Amy Booth
Meet Amy - a true fitness powerhouse with over three decades of experience under her belt! She's living proof that staying active keeps you thriving, and she's proud to show that age is just a number when you're committed to health and fitness. When she's not teaching, you'll find her crushing her own fitness goals and inspiring others to do the same.
Talk about a lifelong learner! Amy already holds a Master's in Health Education and is currently leveling up with another Master's in Nutrition. By day, she's shaping future healthcare professionals as a full-time Professor at a local college (and yes, she's also got dental hygiene in her impressive skill set!).
This fitness guru does it all - from getting hearts pumping in Spin class to toning muscles in Barre and Mat Pilates, to sculpting strong bodies and making waves with SplasHIIT water training. Her classes at the yoga studio are the perfect complement to your practice, helping you build that crucial core strength and stability that takes your yoga to the next level.
Here's a fun fact: Amy isn't just any teacher at the studio - she's Bianca's mom! She's been there every step of the way, helping turn her daughter's yoga studio dreams into reality. When she's not teaching or studying, you'll catch her cycling outdoors, championing the cause to cure Diabetes, or soaking up precious moments with her grandkids. Talk about #grandmagoals!
Becka Dubovsky
Becka discovered yoga while studying at the University of New Hampshire. It was during that time, when she found a need to create more space in her body and mind to connect deeper with her surroundings and lessen anxiety. After practicing consistently post grad, she fell in love with vinyasa flow and its mindful flowy movement, leaving every class feeling inspired and more in tune with herself. She finds that yoga is a remedy for anxiety and depression, where one can fully let go without any judgements or expectations. Her approach is to offer a comforting, yet challenging pace for students to explore the beauty and complexity that is the self. In her classes, you can expect a smooth tempo and a curated playlist to match the vibe.
Off the mat, Becka enjoys cooking, hiking, going to the beach, hanging out with her Grammy, and snowboarding!
Christine Duft
Christine started her yoga journey 20 years ago with a class offered at her gym. It was love at first flight! To further her knowledge, she later pursued her teacher training in power vinyasa at Health Yoga Life in Boston. During the pandemic she taught a free online class to coworkers in efforts to create a community through yoga and get people moving in creative ways. Her style draws upon several types of yoga, with a passion for powerful flows. She loves how yoga can be strengthening, but also how it keeps her physically and mentally healthy for everyday life.
Madi Conley
As a former college athlete, Madi learned the benefits of being physically fit. In the sport of Rugby, she found a level of strength she didn’t know she could achieve. It was during this time, Madi started to seek a kinder and gentler way to grow and strengthen her mind and body. Yoga has challenged her physically and mentally, providing a new lens and perspective. The balance and flow learned on her mat continues to be incorporated in her teachings and life. As a long-time yoga practitioner and teacher, Madi focuses on teaching a traditional vinyasa flow. Her classes combine sweaty vinyasa with soothing restorative poses. She emphasizes alignment and breath work. Classes often include elements of meditation and are infused with a connection to nature.
