In my classes, I emphasize mindfulness, alignment, and the therapeutic benefits of yoga, tailored to meet the needs of every student. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or new to yoga, my goal is to create a supportive environment where you can explore, grow, and find harmony within yourself.

Kerry's classes blend strength, mobility, and breath awareness. She strive to create a welcoming space for students to move intentionally and connect more deeply with themselves.

She is certified in postnatal yoga, yoga for seniors, and is a Certified Ayurvedic Health Counselor. She loves to allow students to get into the body and check in physically, mentally, and emotionally, bringing awareness of one's current state and accepting it as is. Classes with Chelsea are accessible to all levels. You can feel at ease with modifications or challenge yourself by making advancements in a pose.
Amanda Fendt
Amanda is a BSN Registered Nurse with a background in chronic disease prevention and health education. She spent two years teaching evidence-based lifestyle and nutrition programs, helping people build sustainable habits around movement, nutrition, and overall wellness. She completed a three-day Pilates Fusion instructor training through bYogaStrong.
Amanda’s passion for Pilates and Barre grew from her belief that movement should be fun and something you look forward to while also helping you meet your health goals. Amanda’s goal in every class is to keep you moving, get your heart rate up, challenge you both physically and mentally, and leave you feeling empowered by what your body is capable of. She loves creating workouts that build strength and endurance while still incorporating mindful movement and proper form.
As a mom of three littles, Amanda understands how difficult it can be to make time for yourself. She hopes her classes give you an opportunity to step away from the everyday, move your body, have fun, and leave feeling stronger and more energized than when you walked in.
