Katie
Katie's yoga journey began in 2014 as a high schooler seeking the physical strength and flexibility that yoga had to offer; however, she quickly recognized the mental health benefits that came along with an intentional practice. From here, yoga was the catalyst for her to embrace a life of love and kindness towards herself and others. Her teacher training 2018-2019 with URU Yoga was based in Vinyasa, which means "to place with intention." While Katie incorporates various styles of yoga into her practices, she always brings the mindful connection of breath and movement to her classes. She believes that yoga is a self-discipline for you to live a full and genuine life free of suffering. Show up as you are, be open to the growth.
Sydney
Sydney began her yoga journey in 2012 and quickly fell in love with the practice of a mind, body and spirit connection. In 2014 she deepened her studies by living in an ashram and receiving her 200 YTT in India. The lineage she delved into and teaches roots in the practice of Akhanda, meaning "whole", which focuses on philosophy, mantra, asana, meditation and pranayama. Two years and many hours of teaching later, she went back to Rishikesh, India and received her 500 hour certification. Seeing a need in the community for breath centered yoga and a mindful space to call home, after a decade of intentional creation, she opened up Golden Hour.
Sydney offers a safe, nurturing, and deepening space for practitioners of any age, level, background and body type, to feel heard, seen and worthy of an opportunity to connect deeply within themselves and their practice.
In 2020, after giving birth to her 2nd child, she became a Birth Doula and continues to support women and families through their transition into parenthood.
Shahana
Shahana Hanley discovered yoga in her early 20's by happenstance. The OM from the street drew her in and the rest is the story that culminated from that journey. She completed her 500 hour yoga teacher training under the tutelage of Lisa Rapp at My Yoga Spirit, who to this day continues to be her teacher and friend. Classes are vinyasa infused with a homage to the lineage, music, and a laughter for the self. She has her Master's in Social Work and is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice locally.

She has over 800 hours of training from her home in Istanbul, UK, India and the USA, and has developed her own way of teaching over the years. Her unique background as a yoga therapist opened many doors of ob-gyn, hospital, midwife, doula offices, and allowed her to work with them elbow to elbow where she had opportunity for continuous growth on pregnancy, labor and postpartum.
Emily
With over two decades of experience, Emily uses yoga as a practical tool to support mental well-being and everyday balance. First introduced to the practice in 2002, she completed her teacher training under Becky Gelatt at The Yoga School in Covington, Louisiana, rooted in the lineage of Krishnamacharya. To specialize in trauma and addiction recovery, she completed training at Kripalu which she then applied during her 14 years teaching at a behavioral health center. Today, her goal is to make yoga accessible to everyone, giving people simple tools to manage stress and find emotional balance.
Katherine
Katherine completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2024 and is currently diving deeper into her 300-hour certification at ElemenTree Yoga Studio. Additionally trained in Reiki, she recognizes the energetic body alongside the physical. Her teaching focuses on safety, wellbeing, and sustainable movement — helping students build strength and awareness. Her love for yoga started way back in childhood, where she first discovered the mat as a safe space to leave the world behind and connect to the beyond. That early connection has carried her through the years and continues to inspire her approach to teaching today. Outside of the studio, Katherine is a research associate at IHMC, where she explores the science of exercise physiology. She’s also into weightlifting and running, blending her passion for movement and research into classes meant to bring ease to the body.
