Rya Merschat

From Wyoming and a mountain girl at heart, Rya has been teaching movement classes her entire adult life. With a background as a professional modern dancer, her yoga practice helped to support her physical and mental well being. When performing became too intense for her body she embraced teaching yoga and has loved every moment of it.

Expect a fluid Vinyasa class that moves with graceful transitions, creative sequences and a nurturing environment.  Rya loves to blend  passive yoga qualities within an active class and counts Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra as other styles she is certified to teach.

Besides teaching yoga, Rya is a dance choreographer and teacher currently on faculty at Classical Ballet Academy and Ballet Melange.

In her free time, Rya loves to spend time with her family and dog, walk and hike, explore in her vintage camper, eat chocolate, and garden. She hopes you will join her in this moving meditation of yoga.
