Terri McGrath Haller, RYT

Director & Owner
After discovering yoga in 2001, Terri received her 200-hour certification from YOGAspirit Studio]. Her dynamic vinyasa classes are rooted in the alignment principles made famous by BKS Iyengar; students are encouraged to find the overlap among strength, breath, mindfulness and a serious sense of play! A mother to five incredible children and wife to her music-making husband, Terri is as interested in the grounding, contemplative aspect of vinyasa practice as she is in its ability to free the mind, body and spirit.

Bec Conant

Yoga Instructor
Bec started practicing yoga in 1998 while pursuing a career in modern dance in New York. She taught yoga as a supplemental income to her dance career. When an ankle injury ended that career, Bec took the opportunity to dive more fully into her love of yoga and learn as much as she could (a task she continues to this day). She completed the teacher training program at Om Yoga in 2001, and immediately went on to get further certifications in restorative yoga as well as pre- and post-natal. Bec is also certified as a Birth Doula, by Doula of North America. Her experiences have shown her a deep connection between yoga and childbirth—something she looks forward to exploring further.

Beth Grannan

Yoga Instructor
I came to yoga shortly after graduating college, pretty out of shape and not very inspired by other forms of exercise. At the request of a dear friend, I joined her for a yoga class on her birthday. It was an instant connection; I was hooked. Since that day in 1998, I have been fortunate to study a variety of styles of yoga. In 2005, I received my 200hr certification from YOGAspirit Studios. And I am currently working on my second certification with Barbara Benagh.

In my classes, you can expect to be gently warmed-up, carefully taken through slow-paced flows and invited to find your edge. My teaching is inspired by my teachers, my home practice and my life off the mat as a mom.

Sara Kockanowski, LMT

Yoga Instructor
"I came to yoga because of chronic back pain. Fixing my back was just the first step towards bringing my whole self into greater balance and freedom. My classes focus on using thoughtful sequencing, attention to alignment and breathwork as a map to exploring the wilderness of the self. In my classes I encourage you to find your edge and trust your intuition, while keeping a sense of lightheartedness and curiousity. Having completed teacher trainings with Ana Forrest and South Boston's own David Vendetti, my classes focus both on extended postural holds and fluid vinyasa flow. And abs. I'll teach you to love abs!"

Nadja Refaie

Nina Reis

Yoga Instructor
Nina has a long time passion for physical activity. After nearly two decades of competitive athletics, two surgeries and endless aches and pains, it was time to take a healing and therapeutic approach to her body and spirit.

Nina took her first yoga class in 2002 and since then has completed three teacher trainings. Her classes are inspired by Shiva Rea and her dynamic yoga style; Prana Vinyasa Flow. Nina teaches a powerful class incorporating breath, fluid movement, strength and flexibility. She creates a challenging and light-hearted environment where she encourages her students to work with their creative energy and let it unfold in their practice.

Jamie Villanueva

Yoga Instructor
I have been practicing yoga on and off for nearly a decade and not until I found PranaVayu yoga did consistently make room for it in my life. Since then, yoga has become my lifestyle. My personal and professional yoga practice continue to evolve as I discover and embrace yoga as a method of self-regulation and transformation. After diving into yoga, myself and those near me, noticed positive physical and mental changes; it is these gifts that I like to share with my students.

I enjoy teaching a light-hearted, upbeat and physical class. I subtly weave Buddhist-inspired philosophy into my classes giving students a full mind and body experience. In addition to yoga, I love hiking and snowboarding the mountains of Vermont and California with my husband, Nico. jamievillanueva.com

Becca Heyman

Yoga Instructor
When Becca began practicing yoga in 2006, she was instantly enthralled by the freedom and lyricism she experienced in her body on the mat. Asana became a gateway to studies in mindfulness, meditation, Buddhist philosophy and Eastern thought. After completing Raji Thron's Yoga Synthesis training in 2008-2009, Becca began teaching a rigorous (but compassionate!) Ashtanga-inspired vinyasa flow that focuses on precise alignment, awareness of breath and body, and FUN. Her classes encourage students to cultivate curiosity, courage, strength and a sense of humor.

Sara Grossi

Yoga Instructor
Always an athlete and a gym rat, I stumbled upon yoga and never looked back. The more I practiced, the more positive changes I, and others around me, began to notice in myself. As a nine year cancer survivor who has also suffered from years of eating issues, I know the toll that stress, anxiety and personal struggle can take on the body. Through the Buddhist philosophical teachings, meditations and physical practices of yoga, I found a way to work through some of the biggest challenges I've faced in my life. Through dedicated practice, I am now able to live a happier, healthier, more connected life, and I hope to inspire others to do the same.

As a dedicated yogi, instructor and freelance graphic designer, my creativity, passion and determination for living life flows to all who enter the room. On my mat, I have found many connections—strength, love, joy, courage, passion, peace, oneness—and I encourage my students to find their own connections through practice. saragrossi.com

Rebecca Davis

Yoga Instructor
Rebecca first came to yoga in 2001 through an acting class and has been practicing ever since. She finds yoga fun and therapeutic, in equal parts, and enjoys sharing those qualities with students. The mat is a place to be honest — about our goals and about our limits. It is also a place of great healing: when we are focused on our breath or our balance or our feet or our dristi, we cannot also be worrying about problems at work or at home! Mindfulness is meditation, and yoga brings us constantly into the present moment. In addition to a 200-hour yoga teacher certification and an additional certificate in prenatal yoga, Rebecca is a licensed independent clinical social worker and an Usui Reiki Master-Teacher. wainhousewellness.com
