Brenda’s passion for movement started at an early age with gymnastics, dance and swimming and then moved into group sports during her teen years. She loved competing in sports like lacrosse and field hockey and always found a way to incorporate exercise into her day well after her high school years.

Brenda and her husband, David, have lived year round on the Vineyard for close to 30 years. They enjoy taking daily walks in the forest with their dog, watching their two sons play soccer and discovering new places to visit. She has cultivated lasting friendships with people of all ages through the connection of movement and is grateful to be able to support and encourage people to become a healthier version of themselves. Brenda believes ‘being fit’ has no final destination but is a lifelong journey that takes commitment, compassion and a sense of humor.

Sian was a runner for years before discovering yoga. She has always been into health and fitness and appreciates the spiritual connection she gains from her practice. She is a published writer, an avid kayaker and a devoted dog walker. Sian is the mother of five children and has lived on the Vineyard for 30 plus years.

Vanessa was born and raised on Martha’s Vineyard and has raised her two children on the island as well. She left the island long enough to appreciate it and return. In addition to teaching Yoga she also works in the school system. When her busy schedule allows, she enjoys traveling, reading, drawing, writing and napping.

Brenda has completed training for Special Populations, Postural Analysis and Anatomy. Her focus on posture, alignment and form is central to everything she teaches no matter if she’s teaching on dry land or in the water. She is a Certified Red Cross Swimming Instructor and has been teaching Water Exercise for several years.

She enjoys spending time with her three young, spirited grandsons, getting out on a good hiking trail and continuing to educate herself in the world of fitness.
