Megan Pupilis

I’m a “you are stronger than you think" type of trainer who will push you to your limits and enjoy watching you accomplish something you didn't think you could do. I'm open and honest with my clients about what they need to do to accomplish their goals. I'm encouraging, motivating, and tough--and I do it with a smile on my face. :) I have taught yoga for the last 10 years and love the balance yoga brings to a training program and strive to design and implement a program customizable for each and every client I work with. No 2 persons are the same and neither should your program. As a yoga teacher and trainer my goal is to inspire clients to connect with their own personal wisdom, healing abilities and expansive potential. I strive to help students to strengthen the body and calm the mind, while at the same time detoxify and electrify the body and mind at their deepest levels. I also make sure my students see that fitness is not all that serious, it is also fun and a healthy dose of laughter.

Mia Bylaardt

Mia is Brazilian by birth, Hawaiian by heart, a proud mommy of 3 kids and 1 fur-baby. Mia fell in love with yoga seven years ago while living here in Hawaii and has been teaching Yoga Vinyasa for more than 3 years.

"I'm passionate about sharing a Vinyasa gentle yoga flow to release tension and to connect with the breath while gaining strength and flexibility. I love to teach as a way to inspire and help others, as yoga did for me. I drive my students with a gentle flow so they can feel into their bodies, open their hearts and stand in their truth. My hobbies include spending time with my family at the beach, snorkeling, scuba diving and everything else that take me to the ocean, and I also love making funny videos with my Fur-baby, Brownie."
