Mecquel is a practitioner who has been teaching yoga to adults and children since 2002. Her practice and teaching stem from her desire to know and embody truth within herself and to inspire the same in others. Mecquel's experience is that the practice of yoga, and authentic movement, is a process of melting away the layers that keep us from being able to touch, experience, and finally reside in what we really are, openness, light and love. Mecquel has her B.S. in Psychology and was a behavioral therapist for children with Autism for 5 year. She then sought to bring together changes in the mind and body as a personal trainer. It was finally in yoga that she found the perfect marriage of mind, body and spirit. She completed her teacher training at Saraswati River Yoga with Kirin... Read the profile >>
Alex has been involved in some form athletics for as long as he can remember, “It’s simply a part of my DNA” he says. He believes many people do not recognize the inner strength they possess and often asks them to give more than they realized they were capable of doing during their sessions with him. As the owner of P.T.S. Health and Fitness, Alex has cultivated a culture of “doing just a little bit more” not only within his staff but his clientele as well. There is a saying that in life, nothing worth having can be had without sacrifice. For Alex, the same holds true with fitness. “Every day we must make choices that can either maintain or derail us on our lifelong journey of achieving fitness; whatever that may be for each of us.” Whether we choose to sleep in...

I started life as a fish. Yes, I’m a Pisces, but what I really mean is that I was in the water swimming whenever possible. I learned to swim by jumping into a pool without my floaties when I was 3. So naturally, I suppose, my first organized sport was swimming: I took lessons, competed – first on various club teams and then on the varsity team in high school, and I even taught swimming at summer camp. I loved other sports too, though: softball (varsity team in high school), tennis, downhill skiing, horse back riding, and even, every once in a while, running with my dad on the bridle path in Central Park. When I got to college, the lore of the rowing team totally captured my imagination and my heart, and I was totally consumed. There is nothing quite like rowing in a... Read the profile >>

Joanne first discovered yoga while training for competitive horse jumping in Guatemala when a jump coach told her yoga would improve her concentration. For Joanne it did much more. Yoga certainly improved her concentration as she guided her horse around the course – but it also gave her a sense of peace, control and “completeness” she had never felt before. She has spent much of the past thirty years sharing that feeling with her students. Joanne has taught at... Read the profile >>

I believe that my passion for health and fitness is a gift from God. My thirst for knowledge, my abilities, my constant pursuit of continuous personal growth, and my desire to help others are all born out of that passion.

Yasi began her life in athletics in middle school due to peer pressure and an 'everybody is doing it' attitude. She continued in high school where she pursued her athletic career in college to play field hockey. After school and athletics was over, she looked to running as a way to get her body back in shape and fill the void that playing a sport once held. After running casually for a few months, she looked into triathlons to give her another goal to reach towards. She completed her first sprint triathlon in September of 2008 and has been going ever since. As she began tackling longer distances in triathlon, she decided she would also test her legs in a stand-alone half-marathon. Her first half marathon was in May of 2009, and much like her first triathlon, left her itching for... Read the profile >>
