Ramona has been practicing yoga for the past 20 years. It wasn’t until 6 years ago, when she found myself a stay at home mother with 2 small children, that she realized her passion for teaching yoga. Frustrated that she couldn’t find a yoga class that offered childcare, she created one. Starting in the basement of a church she began teaching classes to her girlfriends while their children played in the next room. From the first class that she taught, she knew that sharing the gifts of yoga was what she was meant to be doing.

In the winter of 2015, she did her 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training with one of her favorite teachers, Sherry Sidoti. Sherry taught her that sharing yoga is a lot more than teaching postures, breathing, and meditation. It’s about creating a safe space for people to get curious about the connection between their mind and their body. Also in her yoga training, she learned the importance of having a truly dedicated self-practice. Everyday digging a little bit deeper to find your true self and bringing that true self into all your teachings.

For the last 5 years, she has been offering a variety of yoga teachings in this community and abroad in Denmark

She also loves spending time outside with her family, sailing, hiking, camping, and exploring.

She believes in bringing yoga into everything she does, every day.

Passionate about: Self care, wellness and, of course, Hair.

In 2019, Kathy completed her Hot Pilates training in Boston, MA and is currently working on her 200 hour Yoga certification including Ayurveda training. Her passion for learning Ayurveda and wellness started at one of our Yoga Retreats at Borestone Mountain in Monson, ME. She's always eager to learn and try new things.

When Kathy is not at the studio, you can find her at Level 10 where she owns and operates her growing salon where she uses Aveda products and DoTerra essential oils. She tries to use as many natural products as possible to maintain a healthy environment for hair care and skin care. She also keeps herself busy spending time with her three children and her granddaughter.

In her Pilates class, expect to work hard and have fun. The class emphasizes on the core, glutes, legs and arms while incorporating cardio. To increase intensity and to change things up she uses mini Pilates balls, weights and bands. This is an intense class for all fitness levels that you will find zooms by. Expect to be energized with her upbeat music, a spunky attitude.

She has found that if she was feeling down or having a bad day, stopping into the studio and just letting it all go made the rest of the day melt away. "There is a powerful feeling in the hot room that will change your life. The instructors and students are the most amazing people you will find."
