Since beginning her teaching journey in 2013, Margaux has been passionate
about helping students feel stronger, more empowered, and more connected in their bodies through movement. Rooted in hot power vinyasa, her classes blend intelligent alignment, healing-focused movement, and playful energy to create an experience that is both challenging and accessible.
With an emphasis on better movement patterns, mindful strength, and self-awareness, she encourages students to explore their edge while honoring their bodies. Her teaching style combines intensity with light heartedness, creating a space where students can sweat, grow, laugh, and move freely.
Known for bringing fun and authenticity into the hot room, Margaux believes yoga is not only about physical transformation, but also about empowerment, resilience, and feeling fully alive.

Jamie is a 200 RYT certified yoga and meditation teacher, a mom of two, and a passionate creative. She believes in living life on purpose in every area, and that the best place to find intention is on your yoga mat.
A Tennessee native, and lover of aesthetics who is happiest guiding others through a yoga practice that inspires them to become their best selves on and off the mat. Jamie fell in love with yoga as a teenager practicing alongside her mom in several local Memphis studios. She found herself at a crossroad in her career in 2013 when she decided to take a leap of faith and complete her first Yoga Teacher Training with Grow Yoga School in Nashville. She has been leading students through various styles of yoga, including: vinyasa, yin, sculpt, and restorative, ever since.
Michele mallory
Michele Mallory has been teaching yoga in the Midsouth since 2013 and started practicing yoga around 2000 as a runner looking for hamstring and low back relief. Michele is passionate about studying and teaching anatomy and a common refrain from her students is that they “learn so much” just being in her classes.
Michele teaches that greater understanding of how our bodies are designed to move leads to intelligent teaching and self-empowerment for both student and teacher.
Tori Anito
Tori Anito is an E-RYT200 /RYT500 / YACEP educator and an international faculty member at Moksha Yoga Amazonica in the jungles of Peru. With a teaching path that has carried her from the banks of the Ganges to the Amazonian rainforest, she brings a global depth to our training, specializing in the intersection of Yogic Philosophy, Meditation, and the Subtle Body.
Tori guides trainees through the layers of the subtle self and the wisdom of ancient philosophy not as abstract concepts, but as lived tools for modern presence.
Through her mastery of sound and stillness, Tori offers a bridge between discipline and grace, helping the next generation of teachers find the medicine in their own unique voice through ancient teachings.
