From my first vinyasa class 21 years ago, I knew yoga was for me for the rest of my life. Did I practice and teach yoga in another life? I especially enjoy introducing yoga to those who think they are too stiff, or sore, or injured or old. Not true! Come try a class with me! I am grateful to share my enthusiasm and expertise in each class that I am fortunate to teach. I especially love the moment when class finishes and everyone experiences the deep peace, satisfaction and enjoyment of the yoga experience. What can I offer and share? Only the best of what has been given to me.

I like to remind students that yoga is a lifelong practice and that there is no rush, or pressure, to learn everything all at once; encouraging students to move through their practice with self kindness. My classes consist of a strong, steady flow with an emphasis on connecting to, and moving with the breath. I offer alignment cueing and pose variations that allow students to embrace the notion that every pose looks and feels different in every body. I approach each class recognizing that each time we step on our mat is a chance to learn about ourselves.
I am always grateful for the honor of being a part of a student’s practice and the opportunity to share my love of yoga

I am always amazed at the strength and capabilities of these awesome bodies we are blessed to walk in every day. One of my favorite quotes is: “I’m in competition with only myself; I simply want to be a better me today than I was yesterday”. Yoga certainly supports this journey bringing balance and strength; both on and off your mat. The mind body connection developed through a practice of breath and movement brings us to a deeper understanding of ourselves and allows us to come from a place of grounded awareness. This practice may begin in a physical form, but has a magical way of tapping into the deeper self each and every time you come to the mat.
I hope you’ll join me as we move through creative, challenging and energetic asanas; building strength and balance together. Namaste

I have always been involved with exercise, whether working out, taking a yoga class, or going for family walks.

After taking my first Pilates class I was amazed! It was so fun and made me feel strong! When my second child started school I enrolled in Pilates teacher training with Peak Pilates. It was a 6-month training where I was certified in 2010 to teach Mat and Reformer classes. In 2011/12 I was certified by Power Pilates to teach beginner, intermediate and advanced Mat Pilates.

I then discovered BarSculpt. BarSculpt is called “Pilates evolved” and that’s exactly how it felt. In 2012 I was certified to teach BarSculpt level 1 and 2 and in 2013 level 3. I wanted to expand on barre and was trained in bootybarre and certified in 2015. I love the way bootybarre compliments BarSculpt and Pilates.

Pilates and barre have changed my life. I have such passion for how good it makes me feel. I love to teach others and share the fun, strength and possibilities. It’s amazing to see people realize their own abilities.

The spirit of Inferno Hot Pilates is working out in a group, being cheered on, and being inspired. When everyone moves together, with a good beat, and in sync, you can feel the harmony radiating through the room. That feeling of being in tune with those around you, while getting a great sweat on, is the intense workout your body craves.
I invite you to come and experience it with us.

Jenifer Bentch
Jenifer BentchYoga Teacher
My love of yoga began 17 years ago when I discovered power vinyasa. My original training is in Baptiste Power Vinyasa but I often combine several yoga styles in my classes. My classes are based on building strength through creativity, breath and the occasional dad joke. Each class is designed around a peak pose that is attempted (or not, you do you) towards the end of our flow. I love encouraging students to try things that are unfamiliar and get them out of their comfort zone. I believe yoga should push us to discover new things and allow us to laugh at ourselves.

I love teaching classes that are challenging, adaptable to all skill levels and fun. Plank holds, boat pose, arm balancing, savasana….I love it all.

Jamie Bedard
Jamie BedardYoga Teacher
Hello there, I’m Jamie! I have been a yoga practitioner for many years and recently completed my 200 hour teacher training with Yoga Academy. I am new to teaching yoga but not to the teaching world. By day I am an art teacher who plays with paint, builds with clay, makes messes with students, and supports their creativity. In both of these teaching roles I want to encourage growth, confidence, compassion, and self-love. As a yogi I hope to help nurture my students’ practice with breath awareness, building strength, making connections, finding joy and love for our unique bodies with a vinyasa flow grounded in kindness and silliness. When I’m not in the studio (yoga or art) I can be found walking my dog, grabbing breakfast, hiking, or painting murals around town

Yoga has made a big difference in my life. I bring my love of this Hot Yoga studio and our teachers to the mat each day and look forward to welcoming you to the studio for a lighthearted practice of breathing, postures and insight.
Julian Sobrano
Julian SobranoYoga Teacher
Julian Soberano grew up in central Vermont, and was initially drawn to yoga while searching for a movement practice, to maintain physical health, and search for for balance of balance and harmony in body and mind. He fell in love with the practice after discovering the integration of breath work and meditation, and how the extensive benefits of both can be carried off the mat and into daily life. Yoga was a gateway and transition towards a more mindful and holistic way of living, and one which he feels everyone deserves to be aware of and experience. In 2023 he traveled to Peru to complete his 200hr RYT certification through the Breathe and Flow Yoga Academy, with a focus on functional holistic Vinyasa flow. Along with the practice of yoga, Julian primarily spends his time glass blowing, making music, and enjoying the company of his two cats.

Movement has always been my constant—a source of pure joy and empowerment.
In my classes, you will experience the power of low-impact movement that strengthens, heals, and energizes. Pilates is the perfect blend of strength, flexibility, and mobility. Connect with your body in a way that feels balanced and sustainable.
Come discover the joy of mindful movement, the empowerment of strength, and the freedom that comes from being deeply connected to your body. You can expect to work your entire body with a strong focus on the core. Cueing good form over reps with slow and controlled movements are my signature.
