About the Owners/Instructors
Regina Pietersen E-RYT 500, YACEP
Regina Pietersen is a 500-hour certified yoga instructor (E-RYT 500, YACEP) with extensive training in Vinyasa, Hatha, and Bhakti Yoga. She completed her advanced training at the Himalayan Institute in Pennsylvania and holds specialized certifications including Buddha Body Yoga with Michael Hayes and Ropes & Slings with Alison West, a renowned Iyengar teacher.
Regina offers classes ranging from beginner to intermediate levels, with a focus on alignment, breath awareness, and accessibility for all body types. She is currently pursuing an 800-hour Yoga Therapy certification with Breathing Deeply Yoga Therapy and is also a Level II Reiki practitioner. In addition to yoga and energy work, Regina is a certified sound healer and offers crystal bowl sound baths as part of her holistic approach to wellness. These immersive sound experiences are designed to support deep relaxation, energetic balance, and inner harmony.
Regina first turned to yoga to support her triathlon training and manage stress. The physical, mental, and emotional benefits she experienced inspired her to share yoga as a powerful tool for well-being. Her teaching is grounded, compassionate, and breath-centered—designed to help students connect deeply with both mind and body.

She also serves with The Phoenix, a "Sober Active Community" where she leads yoga, mindfulness, and sound healing sessions, support new members, and connects volunteers to opportunities for service.
As a Yoga facilitator and community builder dedicated to making the practice of yoga, mindfulness, and meditation accessible to everyone. Her work centers around bringing trauma-sensitive, healing practices to people navigating recovery, mental health challenges, and underserved communities.
