Meet Your Teachers
Different teachers. Different styles. One welcoming community.
Each of our teachers brings their own experience, personality and love of yoga to the mat. Together, we're here to create a space where you can move, breathe, explore and feel at home in your practice.

Cassandra Zack
Yoga Teacher + Lifelong Student
After more than 25 years of practicing yoga, I still come to the mat with curiosity.
I love creating spaces that feel groiunded, joyful and welcoming, where you can be fully present, explore your practice, and leave feelling a little lighter, brighter and more at home in yourself.

Rita Goggins
Yoga is an ever-evolving practice that helps me feel better physically and mentally. I love helping students discover their own ability to create positive change through a practice that is uniquely theirs. I'm thrilled to teach in New Prague and be part of the Yoga Tree communtiy.

Julia Perrier
Yoga taught me that strength is so much more than physical. Through my practice, I've discovered strength, presence and the freedom to be authentically myself. As a teacher, I hope to help others discover what yoga can bring into their own lives.

Puneeta Arora
Yoga has been part of my life for over a decade, grounding and supporting me both on and off the mat. I'm a lifelong student, always learning and growing, and I love creating welcoming, supportive classes that build strength, flexibility and mindfulness. I'm so happy to be part of the Yoga Tree community.

Yoga taught me two things right away: some things that look easy definitely are not, and yoga is really fun! Through a consistent home practice, I've discovered greater strength, flexibility, and balance, along with a calmer mind. I may be a yoga teacher, but I'll always be a student first.
