Sheri McCloskey

After completing my group fitness certification many years ago,  I took my first yoga certification.  I was immediately hooked and starting on a long and rewarding journey to earn my 500 RYT ( Registered Yoga Teacher) after spending time studying in India at the Sattva Yoga Academy in November 2018.

My primary yoga study through YogaFit has included teaching yoga for seniors, prenatal, and kids, as well as understanding yoga theory, anatomy & alignment, and the breakdown of poses.  I also did an intensive yoga workshop in Tulum, Mexico with Eric Paskel, the creator of Yoga Rocks.  I learned a lot from him about creating unique flows.  I have blended all of my education together to craft a vinyasa style class that is both challenging and relaxing.

Yoga is so much more than a physical practice.  I've fully embraced and incorporated meditation into my life.   Effective meditation can take just as much practice as executing complicated arm balances.  I intend for my studio to be a true reflection of who I am, which means bringing both the physical and the mental aspects of yoga into practice.   As I continue my yoga journey, I look forward to learning every time I step on my mat.

I feel very strongly that yoga is for EVERYBODY!!

Dana Jokerst

Dana has been practicing yoga for over 15 years. The desire for more physical and emotional balance led her to the practice. She decided to learn to teach in order to share with others a practice that provide her so much support. In 2014 Dana completed her 200 hour yoga training under the teaching of Colleen DeVirgiliis at Seva Power Yoga in West Chester, Pennsylvania. She is trained in Power Vinyasa guided by the teachings of Baron Baptiste. Dana has also completed additional training under Bryan Kest, the founder of Power Yoga, plus received certifications for working with trauma, eating disorder and breast cancer patients. Her love for yoga and teaching it to others is strongly rooted in the ability to share the practice with all people. Regardless of age, injury, athletic ability, or body type, Dana adapts yoga to fit the beautiful, unique qualities of each person. As a corporate manager, coach, former athlete and an instructor, Dana is committed to serving others. Her goal is to leverage the branches of yoga to provide a safe and welcome environment for each student; grounded with the intent for all to leave each class feeling their best. 

Selina Pritchard

Selina began her yoga journey in 2014, when she was looking for a way to stay fit and manage stress while avoiding strain on old lower back and knee injuries. She quickly discovered the benefits of yoga both on and off the mat, and in 2019 decided to start yoga teacher training through YogaFit. After completing her Level One training last year, Selina taught 8 weeks of free classes at The Yoga Studio, helping yoga newcomers find calm and comfort in a new practice. Selina is thrilled to start officially leading classes and guiding others on their yoga paths!

Selina works full time as an OB-certified labor & delivery nurse on Bromenn’s Mother-Baby unit and LOVES to incorporate yoga into her nursing practice. She continues to pursue her RYT 200 and plans to take YogaFit’s level 2 and prenatal courses in April 2020! 

Selina is a die-hard live music junkie, having been to hundreds of concerts all over the country. She loves dancing, singing, cooking, traveling, spending time with family & friends, thing outdoors when it’s warm outside, and watching documentaries. Her favorite thing in the world is her cat, Easy. =)

Devin McCloskey

Ever since I can remember, health and fitness have been an integral part of my life. When my mom, Sheri McCloskey, started teaching yoga classes- I began my physical practice. For many years, I associated yoga as a great way to gain strength and flexibility. Although my yoga journey began for physical health, it was 4 years later when I began internalizing my practice and tapping into the spiritual aspects of yoga. In 2018, I completed my 200-hour certification as a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) through YogaFit.

My primary study through YogaFit has included teaching yoga for seniors, children, and those suffering from PTSD, as well as anatomy and alignment, the breakdown of poses, meditation, yoga theory and the philosophy of yoga. I utilize all of my education to develop a vinyasa style class that will fit each any every person. As I continue my yoga journey towards my 500-RYT, my goal is to have every person leave my class feeling refreshed, relaxed, and uplifted. 

I truly believe that every soul can benefit from yoga- it is about bringing out the best in our body and our mind. I cannot wait to practice and learn alongside of you.

Ashley Petrinec

Ashley played collegiate volleyball and has been an athlete nearly all her life. Her path to yoga started in a spin class she had with Sheri over 10 years ago. What began as practicing a few times a week became wanting to know more about the philosophy of yoga and deepening her personal practice through YogaFit training.

In 2019, Ashley took nearly all of her 200 level trainings and began teaching, taking on her own class in 2021. While she primarily teaches vinyasa classes, she occasionally offers a more restorative class and is a huge proponent of modifications and accessibility for all in any class.

Ashley has a husband and three step-children who keep her pretty busy but she greatly enjoys fitness, reading, and practicing yoga as much as she can.

Boram Lee

Boram first began practicing yoga in Korea when she was a teenager. After a decade, it was an eye-opening experience for her to find yoga as an inward workout. Coming from a musical background, she always had to practice and perform mostly for others not for herself. Doing yoga was the only time and moment that brings herself contentment physically and mentally. This ignited her passion to share this amazing sensation with others.

In the spring of 2020, she completed 200-hour yoga teacher training through Amara Yoga and Arts, a registered yoga school with Yoga Alliance. Her primary study includes, Yoga Philosophy, Gentle Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, Children Yoga, Pranayama, Yoga & Emotions, and Anatomy and Yoga.

Boram’s classes are relaxing and meditative, welcoming a sense of peace. In addition, she brings her healthy life style and positive energy to her class. She wants to help all yogis discover balance amidst their stressful lives and find beauty and uniqueness within and all around them. Let’s become the best version of ourselves through yoga practice.
