Ken began his yoga journey in the 1990s as a way to balance the physical demands of martial arts with mindfulness and relaxation. He became deeply inspired by yoga’s ability to transform not only the body but also the mind and spirit. In 2001, Ken completed his 200-hour certification in Hatha Yoga. 

Ken’s teaching emphasizes alignment, breathwork, and the connection between movement and mindfulness. As a psychologist and yoga teacher, Ken weaves principles of mental wellness and emotional balance into his classes, offering a holistic experience for his students. His style blends dynamic flows with grounding techniques, suitable for beginners and those seeking a deeper mind-body connection.

Outside of the studio, Ken applies yoga’s philosophies to his work as an author and leader in the mental health field, creating programs that support recovery and resilience. Ken is passionate about guiding others to discover the transformative power of yoga in their own lives.

You’ll leave his classes feeling both grounded and uplifted, ready to take on life’s challenges with greater clarity and calm.

Workshop Host

Neida started her Yoga path with the goal of "taking 40 by the throat".  She pushed herself through heated Hatha styles of yoga growing stronger and more flexible as her practice grew.  Her focus was attaining and holding the perfect posture, maintaining balance and alignment.  She began taking tougher and tougher classes at a variety of local and distant studios.  With eyes towards becoming stronger and better, Neida studied to become a Certified Yoga Teacher. 

It was there that she found a match to the Yang of her practice; the gentle Yin of her teaching. Neida has developed a beautiful style at the boundaries of a traditional Western class.  She includes the rituals of mudra, breath, and motion in synchronicity - adapting props to encourage the body into releasing.  But don't be fooled, she still moonlights as the tough one.

Quickly learning that there is much more to yoga than asana work, she began to embrace yogic philosophy striving to incorporate all of Patanjali’s eight limbs of yoga into her life. Barbara completed the 200-hour Hatha and Vinyasa certification program at the Collegeville Yoga Bar in July of 2017 and is a member of Yoga Alliance (RYT-200).  She earned her doctorate in Education and enjoys incorporating yoga into her work as a music teacher. Passionate about sharing the benefits of yoga with others, especially those new to the mat, she looks forward to seeing you at the studio!
