Natalie Hodak

She graduated from our very first Yoga Alliance approved Teacher Training in 2015 and currently teaches on Wednesdays.

Daphney decided to sign up for the 200-hr certification program at TTM in 2018 to share her love of yoga and meditation with others suffering through chronic illness.

Daphney appreciates her YTT instructors for their wisdom and guidance, and sends love to the Subaru crew for being her yoga family!

Coryn Voce, RYT 200

Coryn discovered yoga and meditation over 10 years ago as a college student struggling with anxiety. She was quickly comforted and inspired by the sense of self-acceptance and connectedness that yoga brought to her life. Through her work as a licensed therapist, teacher, and wellness enthusiast, Coryn is passionate about helping others find the inner peace and groundedness that she has found through yoga. She believes yoga is a path to self-discovery, contentment, and balance both on and off the mat and enjoys supporting others in that journey. Coryn has been a regular at The Twisted Monkey for years and completed her Teacher Training in 2020. In addition to yoga, Coryn loves spending time with her husband and cats, hiking, traveling, and trying new restaurants.

Pamela Costello, RYT 200, RPYT

An on again, off again yogi and former studio hopper, Pam came back to the mat and joined the teacher training program at The Twisted Monkey in 2017, where she finally found a home. Pam found her love for yoga after college as a way to get in shape and relieve stress from her day job as a clothing designer. She decided to pursue teacher training years later to learn more about the practice and to help others find balance in life. When not on the mat, Pam enjoys all things DIY (though only finishes half her projects), spending time with her husband, son and daughter, and loves to taste test her husband’s home-brewed beer and wine.

Beth Rose, RYT 200

Beth found yoga years ago while training for her first marathon.  At first, she found the physical benefits of yoga appealing, but her passion quickly grew.  Beth’s love of yoga was inspired by her father, Bill Henry, head “Guru” at the Twisted Monkey.  He encouraged her to further her practice and enroll in the Yoga Teacher Training Program.  Beth graduated in May 2020 and is eager to share her passion and hold space for students.  Beth’s classes start out slow by settling into breath and body first but quickly build heat, strength and endurance.  She creates a flow that will help you focus your mind, strengthen your body and rejuvenate your spirit.  Expect a fun and lighthearted practice!

Deb Antosh, RYT 200

Since her sons were grown, she had no more sporting events to attend, and more free time, Deb was looking for something new to try. She saw an article on Yahoo about hot yoga. It sounded interesting. So, Debra and her husband looked for a local yoga studio and found The Twisted Monkey in 2015. She had never even tried regular yoga, but decided to give hot yoga a try. She was immediately hooked. Because of her love of yoga, Deb decided to enroll in teacher training. She completed the 200 hour training program at The Twisted Monkey in May of 2020. Deb’s class will start out slow, connecting to our breath, mind and body, then building heat, strength and endurance as we flow through our practice.

Theresa Hencek, RYT 200

Theresa began her Yoga journey in college as a way to manage stress and improve flexibility. She immediately fell in love with the challenging physical practice of Yoga, as well as the quiet that it brought to her mind. It was then that Theresa decided that Yoga was a practice she could not live without. Theresa has been practicing at The Twisted Monkey for many years and has loved the studio’s classes and community. She was inspired to enroll in a 200-hr Teacher Training Program in Sept 2021 and graduated in March 2022. This program helped Theresa realize her passion for teaching and is excited to share this with her students! As an artist, Theresa loves that Yoga has given her a new creative outlet where she can express herself through movement. Yoga is also a source of inspiration in Theresa’s artwork.

Mairead Nekkab, RYT 200

Mairead has attended TTM for over a decade. She has found Yoga to be amazing, sorting out hip issues stemming from years of restaurant & bar work. Certified as a Yoga instructor in 2018, BUTI instructor in 2020, and Kids Yoga instructor in 2021, Mairead uses music to guide her classes & incorporates lots of movement. Be ready for a super cool playlist – movement is medicine! She also likes to bring in themes from Ireland, as she attends classes there when traveling home. Mairead loves to experience instructors from all over the world, finding studios in every country she visits. A true Irish, she brings that grounding, natural feeling into the room. Aside from yoga, Mairead is a bar & restaurant owner and manager. Working weird & late hours, she still makes time for yoga, stand-up paddle boarding, friends, family, and her array of pets (dogs, cats & chickens!)

Pasquale Cairo, RYT 200

Pasquale has been humbly fortunate to have studied under the guidance of Senior Vinyasa Instructors for over 15 years. He currently teaches large & small, private classes from very beginner to advanced asana practitioners. Pasquale’s traditional Hatha-Vinyasa Flow yoga class is described as a Vinyasa 101, or a refreshing “Meditation in Motion” for all-levels from beginners to intermediate…offering variations and modifications in order to acclimate a yoga practice to the needs of the individual. Pasquale’s classes promote a fun, enjoyable, challenging yet accessible approach to Yoga. His passions also include instructing TaiChi, Chair Yoga & Pranayama to senior and disabled students.

Ashley Coppola, RYT 200

As a personal trainer, and health fanatic, Ashley believed that yoga was one of the puzzle pieces missing from her resume which brought her to The Twisted Monkey’s teacher training in 2015. She shows her passion for helping people by sharing her experience of holistic healing and teaching others how to find their own path and become more self-aware. You will find her yoga classes largely focus on proper body alignment and simply “being present” in each asana (pose). Along with yoga, Ashley is also a Fitness & Wellness Consultant and CrossFit coach. In her free time, Ashley loves spending quality time in nature, with her 2 kids and dog, and friends and family.

Frank Alemany, RYT 200

Frank has been a regular at The Twisted Monkey since early 2016. A corporate technical training manager by day, he decided to give yoga a try. After his first class, he immediately knew the practice was for him. Frank has enjoyed beginner to intermediate classes, workshops and retreats. Feeling a desire to share the practice with others, he began our teacher training program in 2018. Since graduating, Frank has regularly substituted in the main and hot studios. If you’ve practiced with him, or been in one of Frank’s classes, you’ll know his sense of humor. Although he jokes, he is serious about the practice and the practitioners. Frank’s wife and daughter are regulars at the studio as well.

Elizabeth Gullotti, RYT 200

Liz practiced yoga here and there before finding her home at The Twisted Monkey almost 5 years ago. She quickly fell in love with the classes and teaching styles, which help her through life’s challenges and bring a sense of peace to her busy world. She finds solace in the spiritual aspects of yoga and the community at TTM. Liz graduated from our training in May 2023. She shares her love of yoga with her Preschool students, as she is a Director of a local Preschool. She enjoys spending time outdoors (especially the beach) and hanging with her three kids.

Janelle Kernan, RYT 200

Janelle’s love affair with yoga began back in 2013 when she tried her first hot yoga class with Bill. She credits yoga for getting her through some difficult times in life, while also helping her to find peace and healing – mind, body and soul. Her yoga mat is truly her happy place. Janelle became a certified yoga instructor in May of 2023 at The Twisted Monkey and is also a registered nurse. She is excited to share her passion and knowledge of both yoga and wellness with her students. Janelle is a mom to a 17 year old son, as well as 3 dogs and 2 potbelly pigs.
