Wes Linch
Certified Yoga Instructor

Wes Linch was introduced to Yoga and Eastern philosophy over 8 years ago in a desire to know more about himself. He quickly discovered the benefits of Yoga far exceed open hips. Wes is a Vinyasa Flow instructor, having received over 700 hours of training through Yogaworks and Yoga Sol. He completed a 6 month mentorship with Mynx Inatsugu and continued to assist her for a year. In 2011, Wes received Shaktipat by Shri Anandi Ma and began studying a traditional tantric lineage called Kundalini Maha Yoga.

Wes focuses primarily on bridging the gap between breath, alignment,
and awareness through movement. He aims to make the energy of the
practice relevant on and off the mat by introducing traditional yogic
teachings with a modern twist. His classes are fun, sweaty,
challenging, full of great humor and heart.

Gardenia Gonzalez Gil

Gardenia started practicing yoga in 1999.  After only a few classes she noticed a profound feeling of balance, peace and well being.  She became a dedicated practitioner and today has no doubt that yoga helps her stay balanced, focused and healthy.  After many years learning diverse yoga styles like Vinyasa, Shadow and Iyengar, she decided to share her knowledge with others and received her 500 hour yoga teaching certification, as well as an additional 50 hours Yin Yoga teacher certification, both through Yoga Works.  Gardenia's classes focus on proper alignment, coordination of breath and movement and mindfulness.  She also loves teaching Yin Yoga, which not only helps students develop flexibility and keep their joints healthy, but also brings about feelings of lightness and relaxation.
