Mandy Sergent Glitzer
Mandy is a Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT), Experienced Yoga Teacher (E-RYT 500), Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) and the owner of Wellness in Motion. Though she’s taught yoga for nearly two decades, Mandy’s goal from her yoga practice has never been to stand on her head. The goal has always been to quiet her mind, check in with herself, and stand more fully on her own two feet. She uses yoga as a way to help her stay sane, as a business owner and mom of two young boys, and as a way to stay pain free even though she has severe scoliosis.
Mandy’s passion in teaching yoga to others is to “meet her clients where they are”. She primarily works with beginner level students and those who are in pain. She excels at making yoga accessible to all regardless of their physical condition. Her group classes incorporate yoga therapeutics and functional movement correctives to help students find ease in every day movement with a balance of strength and mobility. She also offers individual sessions for those seeking a more therapeutic approach.
Mandy is a lifelong learner and self-professed training addict, always eager to learn more about the body, mind and spirit. Knowing firsthand the emotional toll that physical pain can have on a person, Mandy’s work incorporates physical poses as well as mindfulness, breathwork, and yoga nidra to help calm the nervous system and restore a sense of well-being to the whole person.

She has been teaching dance and theater classes for over 15 years and felt like she was in good shape and really in tune with her body, but the birth of her first born revealed there was more to learn. She began looking for ways to rehab her core and pelvic floor and found the Restore Your Core® program.

Nynaeve Phillipson
Yoga and mindfulness were a part of Nynaeve’s upbringing—her mom has been a yoga teacher for years—but it wasn’t until a career-ending gymnastics injury that she turned to the practice for herself. Yoga, alongside physical therapy, helped Nynaeve heal not just physically but emotionally. Letting go of a sport that had defined her identity was painful, and she struggled with anxiety and uncertainty about how she’d ever feel strong in her body again. Yoga became Nynaeve’s anchor—it helped her rebuild, find peace, and eventually reconnect with joyful movement.
Nynaeve is a 200-hour YTT-certified teacher trained in anatomy, physiology, philosophy, and styles including hatha and yin. She is passionate about making yoga accessible, compassionate, and rooted in service. Whether someone is new to the practice or returning to it with a different body or mindset, Nynaeve aims to create a space that meets people where they are—with gentleness, humor, and curiosity. Outside the studio, she’s a PhD student researching Arctic River dynamics, a sci-fi/fantasy book lover, and a proud dog enthusiast.

Kathleen Zdenek
With over 14 years experience in early childhood special education and a life-long passion for the benefits of movement for all ages, Kathleen is continually growing as a yoga instructor. As a long time yoga practitioner Kathleen was eager to grow with yoga and completed the Every Kids Yoga © training in 2011 and was inspired to further her knowledge by completing the basic ChildLight Yoga and Yoga for Tween & Teens trainings as well as graduating with a 200 hour Yoga Teacher certification in March 2017.
