Bonnie Hubscher
In 1980, my family and I founded Stayin’ Alive Fitness Centers. I wore many hats since 1980 – but my true passion has always been that of a teacher of movement. I taught a wide variety of group fitness formats, personal training, as well as Pilates Mat and Apparatus. I discovered The Pilates Method of exercise in 1999, fell in love with the deeper knowledge of bio-mechanics, stabilization, alignment and connection of breathe-to-movement. Now 65 years bold and a Happy Baby Boomer, I practice Pilates and Hatha Yoga to maintain my current level of fitness. I believe it’s working very well for me! I feel blessed to work in a field that inspires folks to invest in the health of their mind, body, and soul. I love sharing this blessing with as many other open-hearted folks as possible!
Holly Briscoe
Holly has been a student of Yoga since 1999. At first she was VERY frustrated by how inflexible and weak she felt – it was incredibly humbling for her. Soon she started to feel stronger, healthier, centered, more balanced and peaceful. Her life began to change in wonderful and unexpected ways. Holly finally saw the beauty in patience, discipline and being still inside. Somewhere along the way she found her voice and began to use it. Then things became clearer for her on many levels. Now she realizes she was waking up. She began to listen to her intuition and later trust it. Even now, she believes that every day brings a new lesson. She was asked to teach in 2001 and absolutely loves it. Holly LOVES having anything to do with people getting into Yoga and having their lives changed as a result. She has completed many work shops and teacher trainings in conjunction with YogaWorks, Integrative Healing Strategies, Omega Institute for Holistic Studies and the Institute for Advancement of Human Behavior. Her training reaches Vinyasa, Sivananda, Vini, Bikram, Ashtanga and Pre-natal Yoga and various types of meditation and energy work. She is certified with the prestigious and international YogaWorks and is a YogaWorks Teacher Trainer Ambassador. She is also certified for Advanced Reiki. On the personal side, she grew up in Kansas and has two amazing children. Holly thinks a little sense of humor can go a LONG way. She trusts that the Universe guides us when we pay attention and stay present. Holly believes energy medicine is VERY powerful stuff. And she thinks people should use Yoga in their lives however it suits them
Joi Dupre
Hi! I am Joi Dupre. My love affair with Yoga began in 2011 and led me to receive my Yoga Alliance approved 200-hour teacher certification in December 2013 at Kula Yoga Shala in Jupiter, FL. Safety in practice has always been at the forefront of my teaching. I discovered Lara Heimann, Physical Therapist and Yoga Instructor in 2019 and the next chapter of my love story began. I knew right away that her LYT Method of Functional Movement and Yoga was a perfect fit for me. LYT Yoga, grounded in the teachings of physical therapy, focuses on re-training poor movement and posture habits. In taking her classes, my back, SI Joint, neck and shoulder issues dissolved. I have never felt so strong, connected, and integrated in my body and I knew I had to share this Method. I am a 500-hour Certified LYT Yoga Method instructor and ambassador. My passion and commitment are that everyone move through life on and off the mat effectively and efficiently by creating safe, sustainable, and functional yoga classes.
I have been a licensed massage therapist (MA59262, MM42129) for 23 years. I specialize in Therapeutic Massage: Neuromuscular Therapy, Orthopedic Massage, Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques, Muscle Energy Techniques, Sports Massage, Deep Tissue; I blend these techniques to create a session that is customized to meet your individual needs. I am currently training with biomechanics specialist Conor Harris to further enhance my massage and movement practice. This course focuses on corrective exercises to transform posture and pain.
Technically trained and naturally funky best describes me. I received a BA in Dance from the University of South Florida in 1990. Throughout my career, I have performed and choreographed in many major cities across the United States being showcased in everything from modern dance companies, music videos to national and international television programs. Among my endeavors, the following are highlights: artistic director and choreographer for GLAM SLAM Miami: a nightclub owned by Prince; principle dancer for Patti LaBelle In Super Bowl XXIX; and choreographer for the Atlanta Hawks Dance Team. I was fortunate to have worked closely with and performed for such choreographers as Tina Landon (Janet Jackson) and Jamie King (Prince and Madonna). I am currently an avid Latin dancer.
In 2004, I graduated summa cum laude from Georgia State University with an MS in Exercise Science where I received the “Outstanding Exercise Science Graduate Student” award. I bring passion and knowledge of movement and bodywork to every class and client providing a nurturing, safe, and educative experience that is sprinkled with love and laughter.

Maureen Agnello CYT, BSN, RN
Maureen began her yoga journey in 2007, following several years of practicing mat Pilates, which incorporated yoga asana principles. After over 3 decades of running and taking aerobics classes, and eventually sustaining injuries from these high impact activities, she knew that she had to slow it down physically and commit to a gentler fitness practice. Maureen has been on an “off the mat” yoga journey for her entire adult life, attending classes, workshops, and SatSangs with a variety of spiritual teachers, including Mary Pompeo, Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, and Abraham Hicks. She has experienced an eclectic path of study which eventually included the roots and traditions of yoga philosophy in Yoga Teacher Training. Her classes reflect these diverse teachings and how to apply them to our daily lives to maintain peace and balance. Maureen received her 200 hour CYT certification in 2018 after completion of Mindful Vinyasa Teacher Training under Laura Wenger at YogaFish Studio in Stuart FL. She later supplemented her teacher training with a Mindfulness Yin Yoga certification under Rishi Eric Infanti from Mela Academy. During her teacher training, she personally committed to Patanjali’s Eightfold Path of Yoga, as her spiritual journey continued. Maureen believes a yoga class should be a Mind Body Breath experience, integrating three of the eight limbs of Ashtanga yoga – Dhyana~meditation, Asana~the physical poses, and Pranayama~breath work. She understands that connecting breath to movement improves focus and balance, and helps to quiet the mind. As a Registered nurse for over 36 years Maureen incorporated meditation and breath-work into her holistic, trauma informed care, to facilitate healing with women and special needs children and adolescents. Maureen sees the opportunity to teach yoga as a continuation of her ongoing spiritual journey for both personal growth and service to others.
MaryJo Samaritano
MaryJo Samaritano is an ERYT500/YACEP/MVT109 facilitator/Kids and Tweens Yoga/Trauma Informed/Retreat Leader. Yoga keeps me grounded. It provides calm to my mind, and openness in my heart. The practice keeps me strong and connected. I love to teach my students breathing and alignment technique. This challenges them since we move a bit slower, therapeutically, with longer holds. They are invited into postures just as they are, without judgement, accepting their body as it is. I am spiritual, and love to share it through readings and rituals. I love travel, especially to foreign lands, music, the beach, my pets, my family and friends.
