Owner & Operator of Fox Dog Yoga, Harley has 10 years of experience practicing and teaching yoga. She started with her first class at 20, and soon after began “showing” friends and family what she was learning. Though teaching wasn’t the immediate goal, it quickly became something that happened naturally, and years later, after much formal training and a fierce dedication to her own practice, she opened Fox Dog to hold space for the local community to come together.

Harley completed her 200hr YTT through Blue Osa in Costa Rica in 2016 and her 300hr with Jared McCann at Lighthouse Yoga in 2019. She is also trained in Yoga Therapy and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and has her Master’s Degree in Social Work, allowing her to integrate her understanding of Eastern practices along with her study of Western philosophy in a cohesive and well-rounded approach to teaching. 

Along with her formal training, Harley has devoted herself to a daily Ashtanga Yoga practice and has made three separate trips to India to learn from the source. Harley travels often for her own pleasure and exploration while also hosting retreats around the world for others to enjoy. She delights in creating experiences that invite you to be playful and adventurous while opening your eyes to the beauty of the world around and within you.

Janine received her 200hr certification from Innersea Yoga Academy (formerly known as Gypsea Yoga School) in Uvita, Costa Rica in 2022. Being taught in a jungle surrounded by wildlife and people from around the world was an experience that shaped her into the teacher she is today. Janine's favorite classes to teach are creative, slow, & soft. She enjoys teaching Yin, where you are encouraged to allow the body to ease into the postures receiving their full benefits over time. 

Janine encourages you to give yourself the gift of mindful movement and witness your mind, body, & soul become one strong force. To gain control of your thoughts and emotions will set you free.

Janine teaches Yin & Restore at Fox Dog on Tuesdays at 6:30pm. Her classes are soothing for the soul and sought after by all levels of practitioner in the studio.

Andrea has been practicing yoga for over 10 years and teaching since 2020. She teaches both Hatha & Yin Yoga and received her training from Bearfoot Yoga in Bayshore along with her Yin training through Yoga International with Bernie Clark.

In group classes, Andrea enjoys exploring topics including: the chakras, animal symbolism, guided meditation and body neutrality. Her yoga classes are accessible for those of all levels. 

​Cheryl began her yoga journey in 2016 and what she thought would be a physical exercise quickly became so much more. Through her practice she began to understand the ability that we have within us to transform, heal, and grow, and teaching became a way for her to spread this knowledge to others. Cheryl's background in cheerleading and coaching gives her an understanding of the body and movement that greatly informs the way she is able to guide you through a sequence, providing strong verbal cues and physical adjustments as needed, though her classes go far beyond the physical.

​

Cheryl believes that through yoga we are able to create a deeper connection within ourselves, embrace each day and the beauty that life holds, and create a world filled with loving kindness.​

​

Cheryl also manages the studio & the dogs while Harley is away and has become the substitute Keeper of Korra, a job which many men have failed or feared.

​

Tom completed his 200hr YTT in 2022 with Always at Aum. He has since developed a disciplined daily home practice and teaches two classes a week at the studio.

Tom's classes are thoughtfully designed and emphasize carefully placed breath with movement. He provides great verbal cues and places importance on proper alignment along with comfort in the pose. Tom also incorporates functional movement into his vinyasa flows and always leaves time for a proper cool down. Tom's classes will challenge you, support you, and leave you feeling relaxed, balanced, and at ease.

Kevin says his connection to yoga was initially inspired by his three beautiful daughters and his desire to be his best, both physically and mentally, for them. Kevin has been a practicing yoga student for many years. He began to deepen his practice after retiring as a fireman and fell in love with Kundalini Yoga. The practice of Kundalini Yoga helped Kevin reestablish balance and build resilience in his body, mind, and spirit. Through yoga, Kevin has learned the importance of tapping into the essence of his personal truth and he loves helping others connect to theirs. Yoga has taught Kevin the importance of patience and humility.

Kevin is a certified Kundalini practitioner through the Kundalini Research Institute. He often incorporates sound healing into his classes with the use of the gong.

Ally began her yoga journey in San Diego in 2020, earning her certification through CorePower Yoga before completing her 200-hour training at Innerseas Yoga Academy in Costa Rica in 2024. Through her practice, she has found that yoga helps transform stagnant energy into positive flow, creating balance and growth. Ally’s goal is to share her experiences with her students, helping them discover the transformative power of yoga both on and off the mat.

Kelly integrates various styles into her offerings, holding space for clients to explore their inner landscape through movement, breath, and intention. Weaving in astrology and yoga philosophy, she creates an experience that allows for a deeper connection to self.

​

Kelly has been teaching yoga since 2014 when she completed her 200-hour training with Three Sisters Yoga in NYC. In 2018 she made the decision to leave her 14-year corporate career in the fashion industry to pursue teaching yoga + holistic health full time. Her 500-hour training was completed soon after with Kula Collective in Guatemala. She has furthered her training with intensive studies in Yin and Restorative yoga, Tantric meditation, as well as receiving her Shamanic Reiki 1 and 2 attunements.

Mikayla began her yoga journey 8 years ago in her undergrad career where she minored in mindfulness and contemplative studies at Syracuse University. There she learned the positive impacts a regular mindfulness practice can have on your overall health. She later earned her 200HR certification in 2023. She finds joy offering a safe place for others to connect with mind and body.

Her classes are playful while still leaving room to build strength and flexibility. She creates a welcoming space where people can explore movement, connect more deeply with themselves, and grow at their own pace.

Mikayla also loves to incorporate breath work during each class- either at the start or end- to help ground the students in the present moment.

Jeff/Shankara is a certified Hatha yoga instructor, graduating from The International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center. Jeff was a former wrestler from the age of 6. His love for the sport inspired him to become a youth wrestling coach. Likewise, his deep love and respect for nature has motivated him to work in Environmental Conservation.

Yoga has been a part of Jeff's life since the very beginning as he was raised by a family of yogis. After years of practicing several different forms of yoga, he discovered Hatha yoga aligns with him the most. He firmly believes in the practice and aspires to uphold the philosophy and principles of Hatha yoga through his classes.

During his yoga training, Jeff was given the name "Shankara". He is passionate about bridging the gap between yoga's physical and meditative practice. His goal is to help others improve their mental clarity and overall health and wellbeing.

Foxy is THE Fox Dog of Fox Dog Yoga. Yes, she is the name, the face, and the boss of the whole dang thing.

Harley found Foxy roaming the jungle by the beach in a very remote area of Costa Rica, far from town and well off the beaten path. Foxy was in rough shape and looked like she had been fending for herself for quite sometime. After a thorough investigation into her previous life and a few visits to the vet later, it was decided that Foxy should go home to NY with Harley.

Now here Foxy is, seven years later, living the American Dream at Fox Dog with her soulmate, Harley, in a beautiful and loving yoga community, spoiled with good food, good company, a comfy bed to sleep in, long walks on the beach, lots of adventures, and plenty of scratchies.​

​

Foxy is chill, sweet, and just a little fiesty when she wants to be, especially when reprimanding Korra in an effort to keep the peace in the studio or at home. We think she might be a human trapped in a dog's body because of the way she just looks at you and can say it all with her eyes. Foxy will probably bark at you when you walk in the room, but then she'll lay next to your mat, give a big sigh, and roll over for a belly rub to welcome you home.

Korra is a two year old rescue husky mix from Alabama. We don't know what she's mixed with, but we assume grey hound and velociraptor most days due to her lighting fast speed, sharp, toothy grins, and, at times, bizarre and erratic behavior. Korra is pure love. She is a super friendly, snuggly girl who has to be touching someone at all times and doesn't realize that she has grown to full size over the last two years of life. She loves EVERYONE, and she eats EVERYTHING. We think she has a stomach of steel because she has a knack for digesting inanimate objects and poisonous materials without consequence.

In the yoga room, Korra is the yang to Foxy's yin. She has finally learned to stay in her "spot" on her blanky and is mostly calm during class, however, all bets are off in the lobby. When she acts up, the boss (Foxy) will often put her in her place. Sometimes Korra can be a pain, but we appreciate her efforts to behave, and we love that she keeps us on our toes and teaches us patience, compassion, and to surrender our expectations. Her small bursts of energy, big teethy smiles, and occasional wrecking ball zoomies are both horrifying and infectiously enjoyable to watch. Make sure you brace for impact at the door because this sweet girl will be coming in hot for a greeting.
