Special Thanks

The practice of Yoga has been handed down from teacher to student for thousands of years. Sarah would like to thank the teachers who have walked the path ahead of her and have taken the time to instill teachings that make this practice accessible to all who are willing to begin simply by paying attention to the breath. Sarah first became fascinated by yoga as taught by her teacher Nydia Darby who seamlessly and compassionately blends the practice of yoga with the expertise in human movement held by physical therapists. This influence and compassionate approach is woven into the type of classes taught here at the studio.

Aimee Frost, RYT- 200 hours 

A deeply rooted desire to hold a quiet and introspective space for herself and others was the beginning of Aimee’s path into the world of Yoga. The first time she attended a yoga class and experienced a healing moment not searched for…. she knew she had found her place. Aimee holds a compassion-centered presence, colored with encouragement and a crazy sort of love for all fellow humans! Her classes come with a relaxed yet playful vibe.

Aimee received her 200hr RYT training from Unbound Collective in San Antonio, TX  and feels incredibly grateful to have begun a mentorship studying under Dr. Sarah Eads to deepen and expand her knowledge.

Eddie Mendoza PT, DPT RYT200

Eddie’s personal yoga journey started innocently enough with a basic intro class and has evolved to a love for power vinyasa yoga.  After years of yoga study, introspection, and growth, he was inspired by his practice to pursue a career in physical therapy.  He earned a Doctorate in Physical Therapy degree in 2011 from the UT Health Science Center in San Antonio.  Since then, he has practiced locally as an orthopedic physical therapist, specializing in manual therapy and neuromuscular reeducation techniques to help patients meet their goals.

Eddie recently completed studies at the Open Hand Institute with Dr. Nydia Darby and attained yoga teacher certification in 2021.  He is humbled by the balance, power, and serenity inherent in even the most basic yoga practice.  As a new teacher, Eddie looks forward to exploring and optimizing the therapeutic potential underlying any fundamental yoga practice.  In his free time, Eddie enjoys playing baseball, mountain biking, hiking, swimming, reading, and having everyday adventures with his two kids.
