Happy Friday 🤙

OUR FRIEND AND LEAD INSTRUCTOR, TC, IS GETTING MARRIED!! 🎉 🎊

Tyrik and Doug are amazing humans and we’re stoked to celebrate their love! TC led the very first practice at Aither way back in October 2020. He’s been with rocking’ with us ever since. He assumed the role of lead instructor when we reopened last week and has taught over 200 classes and 2,000 yogis! Through that journey, we gained another friend in Doug and couldn’t be happier for these two to tie the knot this weekend!

A portion of every drop-in this week will go towards their honeymoon fund. You can also contribute via QR code in studio.

Flow with TC this Tuesday and Wednesday at 545pm as we celebrate and wish him & Doug a lifetime of happiness!

What inspired you to become a teacher?
I decided to become a yoga teacher because yoga really helped me feel stronger and calmer, and I wanted to share that positive energy with others.

What do you enjoy most about teaching yoga?
What I enjoy about teaching yoga is watching people surprise themselves with what they’re capable of. Being able to guide others toward a sense of well being and strength makes every moment rewarding.

Tell us about your life outside of teaching yoga.
Outside of teaching yoga, I love experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, taking good care of my plants/garden, or just enjoying a cozy movie night at home.

What can students expect in your classes?
In my class, students can expect a supportive environment where we move through a variety of poses with options for all levels.

What advice would you give to a new students?
My advice to a new student is to respect the calm space, listen to your body without pushing too hard, and to participate mindfully.

Join TC Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 545pm! Link in bio to register.

What inspired you to become a teacher?
Yoga entered my life at a young age, and I felt that teaching was more of a calling than a choice. Yoga invites a deep connection and presence within the body, and teaching gives me the chance to offer something real and supportive in our often superficial world. After a few misinformed teachers of my own steered me towards hypermobility, I’ve found Pilates to be a great way to target the stabilizing muscles of the body. I teach to help others build a stronger mind-body connection and bring joy and ease to their lives!

What do you enjoy most about teaching?
I view teaching as a form of selfless service (seva). Whether students come to class for stress relief, mental clarity, mobility, strength, or the myriad of other benefits that come with movement, I feel a great responsibility and privilege to offer this to them. I also find joy in building community around my classes.

Tell us about your life outside of teaching yoga.
I have a portfolio career in fitness, education, and tech. No day is quite the same! Fun fact is I’m from New York and never learned how to drive.

What can student expect in your classes?
In my yoga classes, I weave in metaphors to connect movement to your life beyond the mat. We use postures (asana) to tackle mental challenges, until ultimately we find a place of mental calm and clarity.

My Pilates classes invite more discipline and muscular challenge. I respect the original Pilates method, because that’s where the magic (and results!) really happen. From there, I add on a few sculpt exercises to keep things fresh for the group.

What advice would you give to students in your class?
(1) Yoga and pilates have no look. There is no such thing as a yoga or pilates body.
(2) Flexibility and coordination are a result, not a requirement.

Join Kimi for Clean Hot Mat Pilates every Friday at 4pm. New students can enjoy $11 for 11 days and all new members get 20% for a limited time only.

Starting next Wednesday July 2, turns up the vibes for a new offering: Clean Candlelight | 60 mins.

Unwind and rebalance in this soothing clean candlelit yoga experience that blends the energizing qualities of YANG YOGA with the calming stillness of YIN YOGA.

The first 30 min is a gentle flow to awaken the body, build warmth, and release surface tension: perfect for shaking off the day. As the practice transitions, in the final 30 min moves into long-held, deeply restorative Yin postures to target the connective tissues and quiet the nervous system.

Set in a serene, clean and candlelit space, this class offers a meditative atmosphere that encourages mindfulness, presence, and inner calm. Ideal for all levels, it’s a perfect way to reset your body and mind at the end of the day.

What inspired you to become a teacher?
I started taking yoga classes at my college gym to regulate my stress levels that trigger my psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. The various teachers I had along the way helped me believe I could teach one day too.

What do you enjoy most about teaching yoga?
I love seeing the growth and progress students make over time. It’s so inspiring and rewarding to witness.

Tell us about your life outside of teaching yoga.
By day I work as a Senior Claims Examiner for the UPMC Health Plan. In my free time I enjoy many things. Such as playing saxophone and flute, baking sweet treats, enjoying the sauna and cold plunge at Signal Sauna. My latest endeavor has been taking heels classes at Firewall Dance Theater, and even performing Burlesque.

What can students expect in your classes?
In my Sunday Clean Reset you can expect a calm relaxing atmosphere and a sequence of postures that allow for deep stretching. Don’t be fooled by how easy it seems; the challenge comes from staying present in your body and mind without wandering through your thoughts or expectations for the week ahead. My goal is that you don’t dread Monday’s and start off the week well prepared and well rested.

What advice would you give to new students?
Don’t pay any mind or attention to anyone else in the room but you. Build YOUR practice with the instructors that make you excited to show up.

Anything else you’d like to share?
I have a loving Fiance and two cats at home named Ciri and Geralt (any Witcher fans). Fun fact I was kicked in the head by a zebra when I was a kid. Ask me about it sometime.

Join Will on Sundays at 5pm for Clean Reset. New students can enjoy $11 for 11 days and all new members get 20% for life, for a limited time only. Hop on a mat in our beautiful downtown studio.

What inspired you to become a teacher?
In high school I suffered from multiple concussions which threw off my balance completely. I took a yoga class to help and I was hooked immediately. I loved the practice so much I wanted to dabble in teaching to share my flows with others.

What do you enjoy most about teaching yoga?
Our community within yoga is so special and meeting like minded people has always been my favorite thing about teaching. I can also tailor my classes to my favorite poses. It’s an art in itself!

Tell us about your life outside of teaching yoga.
I work full time as a recruiter outside of yoga. When I’m not teaching class, I’m usually taking it! I also love trying new food spots and coffee shops (send recs!)

What can students expect in your classes?
Clean Balance is a nice mix of a fast passed workout with a longer cool down. The goal is to zen out every class

What advice would you give to new students?
This is a practice! No matter how advanced you are, there’s always room to grow. Keep showing up to your mat!

Join Madi on Mondays at 7:15 for Clean Balance. New students can hop in $11 for 11 days and all new students enjoy 20% off new memberships.
