Lynne Champney - Instructor
Lynne started her journey with fitness after a very traumatizing life event that happened in 2006. Group fitness classes became her savior and she wanted to give back. About 8 years ago she received her AFAA group fitness certification, but quickly added Zumba to her list because of her love of dance and music. She also added barre, Upbeat barre, High, High Low, Surge Fit, Surge Strength, Stepit ,and Stepit Strength certifications to her growing list. Over the last 4 years she has only taught choreographed formats. "The music just moves me and it is so much fun that I forget that I'm working out". She just loves seeing people reach their fitness goals and try new things. She is always telling her participants "just because it's choreographed, doesn't make it a dance. The music is guiding our movement." She has worked in the Concord school system for 19 years, teaching 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade. This career moved her up to Concord about 10 years ago. She currently lives with her husband, 16-year-old daughter, and 2 dogs: Dakota and Harley. You can usually find her by some body of water in the summer.

AliceAnn’s yoga journey deepened during the pandemic, where the benefits of a personal daily practice transformed her mind, body, and soul. She completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2022 and is currently enrolled in her 300-hour training.
Additionally, AliceAnn is certified in Yoga Nidra and Ayurvedic Nutrition, and loves to play the sound bowls.

Sarah Lane - Pop-Ups & Private Reiki
Sarah discovered her love for yoga after a head injury she sustained while at work. The healing process was long but with dedication to a yoga practice she started to see the progress in her mind and body. That’s when she realized that yoga had become such an important tool in her life and had a deep desire to share its healing power with others. Sarah enrolled in a 200-hour Teacher Training in 2020 and grew from there furthering her education with a 300-hour teacher training, Yin Yoga, Kids Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, and Mindful Meditation certifications. Sarah, as well as being a yoga instructor, is also a certified Reiki Master offering hands-on healing to her community. Sarah has grown many friendships from the yoga community even started a yoga podcast (The Lotus Ladies) with fellow yogi and Worthy instructor, AliceAnn. A podcast where they don't take themselves too seriously. Off her mat, you will find her curled up with a good book with her two black cats Lucy and Salem. She also loves to travel, hike, be in the water, and listen to live music. She is a proud mother to her two adult children, Kaylee and Taylor. Private Reiki Sessions with Sarah are available at our studio, so reach out for more details!
