Roxane’s story...
Roxane came to the mat over fifteen years ago as a way to alleviate her chronic back and neck issues and soon became a yoga enthusiast. While yoga has allowed her to become fit, more energized and calmer, Roxane also found that yoga provided her with a greater appreciation for what life has to offer as well as the tools to better deal with life’s challenges.
With over 10 years' experience teaching yoga and over 1000 hours of teacher training, Roxane draws upon her broad yoga education and knowledge to better help her students. She has trained in many styles of yoga - hatha, vinyasa (flow), hot, restorative, advanced and yin yoga - and has certifications from several well known yoga institutions including Modo Yoga International, Bija Yoga and Hot Asanas. Roxane has also trained with renowned yogis Judith Lasater, Dr. Ray Long and Gil Hedley and has been co-chair YogaFest NC, the Triangle's largest yoga event, since 2015.
Roxane has lived in 5 countries, holds a Master's Degree in science, is fluent in French and is a mother of three wonderful (and occasionally challenging) young adults. She loves gardening, walking her dog Yogi, and brings her mat with her whenever she travels.

About Rachel ...
Rachel Leblang is a Michigan native and graduated from Western Michigan University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Japanese Language Studies. She was first introduced to yoga on a bet with her friend. Because she lost, she had to attend an early morning heated power vinyasa class where she fell in love with the asanas and the physical side of yoga.
Several years later, while living in Japan, she had the opportunity to study the philosophical and historical aspects of yoga as well. She completed her 200 hour yoga teacher training in Hawaii with the Yogacara Teacher Training program. Rachel’s goal is to challenge others both mentally and physically, teaching lessons that they can utilize both on and off the mat.
Rachel has returned to Michigan and is currently a visiting teacher at Bright Tree Yoga a few times a year.
