Nancy Meyers
Happy Hour Yoga & Pilates Owner and Yoga Teacher

Nancy Meyers began doing yoga in 2005, was certified to teach in 2013 and purchased Happy Hour Yoga in 2017. Nancy has approximately 1000 hours of teaching certifications under her belt, but believes teaching yoga is less about the hours of training and more about the student connection. She runs the studio with a genuine and kind heart, and chooses teachers with those same qualities. She strives to make the studio a safe, peaceful, sacred space, with a wonderful, welcoming vibe. Running Happy Hour with love, kindness and compassion has proven to be successful and rewarding. The best part about owning Happy Hour is the feeling of love and family she has with the clients and teachers. She enjoys adding humor and yoga philosophy to her classes. She occasionally teaches yoga teacher training at the studio and loves teaching others how to teach yoga. She’s learned so much as a studio owner and yoga teacher; mostly that the pendulum always swings both ways… so go with the flow and enjoy every part of life. Even the rough patches… that’s where the growth is… find it.

TESTIMONIALS:

“Nancy really puts you at ease with her wonderful sense of humor. She has an amazing balance in her practice between light-hearted fun and deep soul searching. I love that I can go to her class and she has me laughing one minute and then she is bringing up thought provoking quotes and stories that help me to be more aware of how we carry ourselves through this life. I really enjoy her as a teacher. She is wonderful!”  (slow yoga)

Bonnie Beck
Pilates and Orbit

I have always enjoyed going to the gym and working out, but as I was getting older and starting to see some changes within my body I decided to go to a nutritionist and start a more personal training program. Reading and hearing so many positive things about pilates I started training and I LOVED IT! And continued taking classes at least five days a week. In 2008 I decided to begin my training to learn to teach pilates. I got certified for mat and reformer pilates with June Kahn. I continued to build on my trainings with other certifications like piloxing, zumba, and yoga. Pilates has truly changed my life, I love every minute that I can learn and help others learn.

Bonnie teaches on Sunday mornings and subs whenever she can. She has been at the studio for many years!

Vicki Marchese
Pilates

I began doing Pilates after my first son was born in 2006.  I quickly grew to LOVE Pilates as I saw how I got my figure back after having a baby. Pilates grew to become a part of my weekly routine.  I have always loved to exercise. Running, Yoga and strength training have always been a part of my daily routine. I previously owned Brodhead Health and Fitness and taught many fitness classes there. I worked in health care for 20+ years and semi retired when I had my children.  I always knew I wanted to teach again someday.  In July of 2017 I found that to be the time and make that DREAM to teach come true. I want to teach others Pilates, what I have grown to love and appreciate. Currently, I am certified in reformer, tower, barrel and arc Pilates through Balanced Body, and have my comprehensive Pilates instructor training.

Michelle Bathauer
Yoga

I’ve been practicing Yoga on and off since 2002.  After realizing how much better yoga made me feel not only physically, but mentally and emotionally—I decided I wanted to share it.  After receiving my 200 Hour RYT in 2011 from LifePower Yoga, I was able to begin my teaching journey.  I love leading classes that are designed for everybody and Every Body, as well as making practice fun and light.  Allowing students to have an authentic, unique, and non-judgmental space to practice is the core of my teaching.
