Nance Wise
Nance (aka Tater) holds a RYT 500 certification and has been practicing yoga for 12 years. In 2015, she was trained in Ashtanga yoga by Beryl Bender Birch. Since then she continues to work on enjoying the present moment – embracing the journey up the mountain, not the summit – that settling into a posture is more important than perfecting it. Her vinyasa style classes are a playful yet challenging mix of flow, balance, heart openers and let’s not forget core – with options for yogis of all levels. Nance is currently taking a year long course in embodied leadership through Humanity Shared: practicing mindfulness and self-regulation; fostering the courage to face fears; and identifying her true self, so to live an authentic and connected life. She yearns to share this with her community, recovering addicts, family & friends. She believes that awe-inspiring life skills can be learned through one’s practice and presence, on and off the mat.
Nance is a Registered Nurse who loves hiking with family in the Adirondacks, backcountry skiing, gardening & rug hooking. She lives in Dorset with her husband, three young adult children and two English Setters (who have mean downward facing dogs).

With NASM Certification to teach spin and group classes Julie has had fun crafting combo classes that focus on a sprint spin for 30 followed by 25 minutes of basic off bike toning. Julie is working towards her Masters in science at UVM for a degree in physical activity and wellness. When she isn’t teaching or in school she enjoys outdoor sports, spending time with her fam/friends, and pooches.
