The classes

Pick your pace.

Every class is taught for mixed levels. Nobody has to be flexible, and nobody has to have been to a gym in the last year.

Flow
30 MIN45 MIN60 MIN

A yoga flow that moves with your breath, opens up tight hips, and ends with a few quiet minutes of relaxation on the mat to settle your mind and body.

Great for: sunrise or sunset, the morning after, groups who want to unwind together.

Sculpt Flow
45 MIN

Half yoga, half mat Pilates and core strength. You'll stretch, then you'll shake a little, then you'll stretch again. The best of both worlds.

Great for: groups with mixed fitness levels, anyone who wants to feel it tomorrow (in a good way).

Sweat Circuit
30 MIN

A higher-intensity bodyweight strength circuit. No equipment, lots of music, and high energy. Think a fun workout session set to throwback pop hits.

Great for: competitive friend groups, pre-brunch energy, events that need higher energy!

Your instructor

Hi, I'm Merissa.

I'm a strength coach and yoga instructor based in Madison, WI. I coach women one-on-one, and I teach classes that are open to every fitness level, whether it's your first yoga class ever or you've been practicing for years.

I've taught corporate wellness classes, boutique boxing classes, HIIT, and small-group strength training, so I bring a variety of experience and my own style to every group class.

You can expect clear cues, beginner modifications, and a class that's fun and welcoming for every fitness level.

How booking works

Three steps. That's it.

Send the details

Fill out the form below with your date, location, group size, and the class you're eyeing. I'll reply within 24 hours.

Lock it in

We confirm the plan, and a $75 deposit holds your date. I'll ask about injuries, experience levels, and the playlist vibe.

Show up and move

I arrive early and set up. You just get your people there, ideally in clothes they can move in.

Questions

Good to know.

Do we need our own mats?

For now, yes. Have everyone bring a yoga mat or a big beach towel. Towels work great for Sweat Circuit and for most outdoor classes.

None of us have done yoga. Is that okay?

Completely. Every class is taught for mixed levels, with easier and harder options for everything. The goal is that everyone leaves feeling good, not that anyone nails a handstand.

What if it rains?

If you have an indoor backup space, we move inside. If not, we reschedule, no fee. Wisconsin weather does what it wants, and I plan for that.

How far ahead should we book?

Two to three weeks is ideal, especially for weekends. Last-minute? Send the form anyway and I'll tell you honestly if I can make it.

Where can the class happen?

Anywhere with enough flat space for your group: a living room, backyard, rooftop, studio, or park. Some public parks need a permit for organized group classes, so let me know the spot and we'll figure it out together.

Are you insured?

Yes. I carry my own liability insurance as an independent contractor, so venues and event organizers are covered on that front. Happy to send proof if your venue asks for it.

Can you teach at our event for free?

Sometimes, for the right community events. Tell me about yours in the form and I'll let you know what's possible.

Book a class
