Emi Puzo - RYT 200
I am an RYT 200 and have been teaching yoga since 2015 when I discovered it through a college club taught in Arizona. I have taught both chair and mat yoga classes online and in person. My love for yoga stems from the way it allows me to be fully present with myself and the moment. I strive to make my classes accessible to anyone who wants to attend. My classes are a playful mix of challenge and rejuvenation. I can’t wait to share and grow with this community.

Samantha Wiesner - E-RYT 200, BSW
In 2013, I launched my yoga-teaching career while in Costa Rica studying Vinyasa Flow with Jennifer Yarro, Frog Lotus Yoga.. After suffering a spinal injury in 2015, I embraced a restorative practice. The healing effects of a slow practice and massage inspired my training in Therapeutic yoga at the Integral Institute of San Francisco with Cheri Clampett. In 2017, I made my first pilgrimage to Mysore, India where I studied Ashtanga Yoga and received my certification in Thai Yoga Massage.
Today, both traditional Ashtanga and Restorative Yoga influence my teaching. Exploring the balance between effort and ease has been incredibly transformative in my body, mind, and spiritual practice. In addition to anatomically lead movement, my classes offer a blend of guided meditation, breath work, and hands-on touch. I invite you to show up to your mat, just as you are.
Angel Villagomez RYT 200
I have been teaching at Elevate Community Yoga for the past four years and have been practicing for much longer dabbling in a wide range of styles from yin to vinyasa, including a blend of the two in yinyasa. I’m always eager for new experiences to better my own practice and teaching and love to incorporate the beats that resonate with me the most from other instructors’ flows to create a unique, eclectic flow of my own.
