Meaghan McElroen

Meaghan is a 200-hour certified yoga teacher, personal trainer, and health coach with over 10 years of experience helping others nurture a healthier relationship with food, movement, and their bodies. She is passionate about creating safe, supportive spaces where yoga, mindfulness, and self-care come together.

Her teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves to feel good in their body, and that true self-care begins with self-love. In her classes, Meaghan encourages students to listen inward, honor their individual needs, and move in ways that feel both supportive and empowering.

Off the mat, you’ll often find her exploring nature, enjoying time with friends and family, playing with animals, cooking, diving into books on psychology and human rights, or relaxing in her hammock with a great read.

Noelle Joy

Noelle Joy is a devoted yoga teacher, healer, and kirtan leader with a heart-centered mission to share the joy and transformation that yoga has brought into her life. She holds 440 hours of Radiant Body Yoga certification and 200 hours of Hatha Vinyasa training, blending the technical precision of asana with the subtle practices of breath, kriya, mantra, and meditation.

Her journey into yoga began as a path to heal both physical and emotional wounds. What started as self-care unfolded into a profound awakening of body, mind, and spirit. Along the way, she became a Kali-Ki Reiki Master Practitioner, sound healer, and kirtan leader, embracing sacred sound and vibration as tools for deep healing and expanded awareness.

Today, Noelle shares these integrated practices to guide others into greater wholeness. Whether through a dynamic flow, a meditative kriya, the power of mantra, or the resonance of sound, her teaching is rooted in the belief that joy is our birthright and healing is possible. She embodies the truth that when we transform ourselves, we expand the possibility for others to do the same.
