Our HYOD Founder
Jane
As a practicing yoga student since 1997, Jane desired to to create student-oriented studio, so she formed and ran for 10 years the former Hot Yoga of Delray. The Studio earned a reputation for catering to the student and her dedication made it a welcoming space. Circumstances called for it to close. Now with years of experience running a successful studio, she once again has built this new Studio from scratch. She welcomes all to share this space and wants you to think of it as your "Yoga Home Away from Home". "Our Contractors turned this space into a Yoga Studio, our Students & Staff turn it into a Yoga Community"
"Yoga is my passion. I hope you enjoy every experience you have at Hot Yoga of Delray. NAMASTE!"
Allison ("Alli")
Allison was born & raised in South Florida. Her passions were always found in nature & the ocean. When she attended her 1st yoga class, she found something she did not even know she was searching for. Yoga quenched her need for something more therapeutic for her body, healing for her heart, & enlightening for her mind. She deepened her own practice by completing her first 200-hour Teacher Training. There she developed a soft yet powerful style of teaching that incorporates both the physical & spiritual aspects of yoga, connecting mind body & soul. She then completed 500 hours at Anuttara Yoga Shala. Now she specializes in Hatha, Bikram & Vinyasa Yoga. Her mission in life is to inspire, enlighten & elevate those who surround her. Thru practice and teachings of the yogic texts, she hopes to lead her students to self-transformation & inner-peace through the beautiful practice of yoga.

Caitlin
Caitlin was born and raised in the deep south, Birmingham, Alabama. From a young age she loved animals and has always been intrinsically linked with nature. During her teenage years she was a competitive cheerleader which fueled her interest in pushing her body to new limits. Always the adventurer, at age 19 she packed her car and moved to South Florida to attend college. Caitlin obtained her degree in Biology which gave her a greater understanding of human anatomy and the physiological systems of the body. During college Caitlin took her first Bikram yoga class and has practiced hot yoga 5-6 times per week ever since. After college it became clear that yoga was going to be a big part of her life so she completed 200 hour Yoga Alliance recognized teacher training with Jimmy Barkan. Caitlin feels that yoga has helped her conquer many of her own personal struggles which is why she wants to share that strength with as many people as possible. "Yoga has helped me to conquer many personal struggles, which is why I want to share that strength with as many people as possible."
