Alyssa Ward completed her 200-hour Vinyasa yoga certification at Clayton Yoga.
In addition to yoga, she has theatre, movement, dance and Pilates in her background. She has been enjoying every minute of her teaching and can guarantee a soothing, positive, and encouraging environment.
Students will see improvements in breathe and focus, flexibility, and strength. However, one of the main reasons to attend is to find a state of total relaxation, allowing you to escape from the demands of everyday life and pamper your bodies and souls.
I look forward to seeing many new faces and perhaps some familiar faces as well! Namaste.

Linda began practicing yoga in 1993 and immediately was drawn to the way it made her body feel: deeply relaxed and yet energized. She has been continually amazed over the years at the life-long learning opportunities and enriched quality of life that the study of yoga can bring.
Linda believes the opportunity to step out of our busy lives and get in touch with the peace can be a springboard to all kinds of growth within our lives.
She has had the opportunity to work with several great teachers and encourages her students to listen and trust in their own bodies.
Besides enjoying sharing yoga, Linda also enjoys spending time walking her dogs and going to movies.
Jodiey Cochran

Jodiey began practicing yoga in 2006 because she wanted to find a low impact way to get in shape and increase her flexibility. She left classes feeling energized yet peaceful and experiencing more clarity in her perception of her life.
She believes in accepting wherever you are and knowing that you don’t have to be the super fit/perfect body type to enjoy yoga and its benefits.
Jodiey also emphasizes letting go of perfection and becoming more playful and explorative in your practice. Her classes combine a peaceful flow with various options for increasing or decreasing difficulty in poses.
When Jodiey is not teaching yoga, she is a pediatric nurse, undergraduate nursing instructor, petsitter, and enjoys cooking vegan/gluten-free meals as well as spending time with her mom and three dogs.

Her inspiration comes from living her truth, or “following the rapture of her soul”, while watching her students remember and embrace their sacred path.
Yoga reminds Michelle that each day you set your heart and mind to achieving your goal, step by step, anything is possible.
