Stephanie Casillas has been fascinated with movement and meditation since the age of seven. She’s always been a kindred-spirit. Her in-studio journey began in 2000 as a form of stress management for college. She fancies herself a “vinyasa yogi gypsy”, however, her primary focus is in Ashtanga. Her methodology extrapolates aspects from all her favorite styles as well as her background in Nuclear Medicine. She uses her knowledge of human anatomy to create a comprehensive experience that will not only have your entire body feeling restored and revitalized, but you will also leave understanding the why aspect of a pose.

She is a proud mother of one. Yoga has been the perfect opportunity to explore curiosities about herself, connect with daughter, and become a more compassionate person for her community. In her class you will find a supportive space to observe the mind and body. Her goal is to offer safe, accessible postures to help deepen your practice and (most importantly) have fun!

Genipher Love has always been a seeker since birth.
Stemming from blood roots from Thailand and India, a yogic life has always been present. After spending many of her earlier years exploring different religions, she found her path to the mat seeking a spiritual connection.
The abundance of life tragedies, toxic lifestyle and a 10yr alcohol addiction lead to a deeper dive into herself.
Genipher began incorporating childhood Buddhism practices along with spiritual practices from other cultures.
She received her 200hr YTT in Rishikesh, India in April 2019.
She now completely leans on the Divine for intuitive knowledge and inspiration. She currently teaches yoga classes at several studios in CT & RI. Facilitates sacred Full Moon & Cacao Ceremonies, and a variety of workshops centered around coming back to your heart space.
Her deepest intention for each Yogi is to uplift one’s own soul & create a loving community for everyone to reach their highest Self.
When she is not on the mat or traveling you can find her outdoors with Mother Earth or tending to all her cats and 300 houseplants.

Alex discovered yoga while she was in college! She was lost, not taking care of herself well, struggling with anxiety and depression. Her roommate invited her to try yoga with her in their apartment. She agreed, reluctantly and is so grateful she did. Not long after practicing for the first time, Alex wandered into a yoga studio walking distance from her parent’s home, signed up for the new client special and her life changed. After a year of practice, she felt compelled to sign up for yoga teacher training knowing that yoga had changed her life for the better and was something that needed to be shared. Alex completed her certification in 2016 under the guidance of Annie Q and Kimberly Charbonneau with the intention to serve her community and share the transformative practice of yoga. She immediately started working in studios across Connecticut. Since then, Alex has continued her professional development by completing many more modules and certifications with Amy Ippoilti, Petra Haynes, and Lara Heimann. For Alex, yoga is a meditative movement practice designed not just to create space, and strength in the body, but in the mind as well. Her classes link breath to movement with an emphasis on mobility and strength. Expect to move, sweat and surprise yourself!
