Naomi

The brain to match the body behind Soul n Body is Naomi, a multifaceted side-quester here to help you conquer your own mountains—literal or metaphorical.

Naomi

Naomi once found herself stuck on a mountain in Costa Rica, during a torrential rainstorm, with no phone service and no idea how she'd survive. Spoiler alert: she did. But that harrowing experience was a wake-up call as she realized she never wanted to feel that out of shape again. Then she met Rosie.

Fast forward to today, she's something of a fitness powerhouse, allegedly. She practices yoga six times a week, lifts weights like a pro, and can hike any mountain without breaking a sweat, kinda.

When she's not at the studio, you can find her traveling the world, capturing life's beauty through her camera lens or paint brush, or planning the next "big" event that will leave everyone talking.

Her journey is a testament to the power of perseverance, and she's here to help you conquer your own mountains—literal or metaphorical.

After years of practicing hot yoga, Elissa completed her Vinyasa teacher training with CorePower Yoga in D.C. Off the mat, she teaches high school and is excited to bring her passion for learning, growth, and mindful movement to the Soul n Body community.

Elissa

After several years of dedicated hot yoga practice, Elissa felt inspired to deepen her practice and pursue teacher training in Vinyasa through CorePower Yoga in Washington, D.C. Yoga has been a transformative part of her life, and she's passionate about sharing that same sense of strength, balance, and mindfulness with others.

When she's not on the mat, she teaches high school, where she brings the same patience, energy, and love for learning that she carries into her yoga classes. She's thrilled to join the Soul n Body team and continue growing as both a teacher and a student. Her goal is to create classes that are challenging yet accessible, where every student feels encouraged to connect with their breath, body, and inner resilience.

Prital

Working in healthcare for 28 years, coping with the daily stressors of life, a demanding job and motherhood she found her passion for yoga in 2013 after taking her first yoga class. She soon realized and was amazed by the powerful healing and calming qualities that result from linking the breath to movement. Yoga continues to lead her on a multifaceted, expansive journey of discovery and connectedness.
