Tim Fox

Yoga Instructor

Tim believes all feelings deserve their space—but that we always hold the power to choose how we respond.

In the face of life's tough challenges, Tim turned to yoga and dedicated himself to a journey of positivity. He found that the practice soothed his anxiety, eased his depression, and offered a sense of belonging. Now, with more than four years of teaching experience, Tim continues to explore yoga as both a practice and a way of life. His teaching comes from a simple purpose: to help ease suffering and remind others that we are love and that we are loved.

Karen Glooch

TRX Instructor

After decades in corporate life, Karen is doing what she loves most - helping people improve their health through fitness. She’s especially passionate about TRX because of the tangible impact it has on bone health.

After watching her mother, who had osteoporosis, suffer multiple spinal fractures and broken bones, she realized the importance of formal weight-bearing exercise programs that are adaptable and accessible to all fitness levels. In addition to teaching TRX and SpinningÒ and founding an online education site for indoor cycling instructors, Karen is an instructor for the Parkinson’s Education and Support Group of Sussex County (PESGSC).

Johnny Blackstone

Sound Healer & Kundalini Meditation Instructor

Johnny Blackstone is a sound healer and meditation teacher trained in the lineage of Osho and a student of Swami Chaitanya Krishna in Nepal, where he deepened his study of meditation, mantra, and the use of voice as a vehicle for service.

A classically trained singer, he came to sound work through a lifelong relationship with the human voice, wanting to offer it not as performance but as something useful, something that could create stillness and grow connection in the people who received it.

Off the mat, Johnny works in jewelry as an executive and designer, whilst also running Blackstone Farm with his husband Zak in southern Delaware, where his work in meditation and sound continues to grow alongside his roses.

Amy Dixon

Yoga Instructor

Amy has loved movement and yoga for most of her life, drawn always to nature, creative expression, and different approaches to healing. She began practicing yoga as a teenager (many moons ago), but didn't fully appreciate its beauty until she became a mother.

After having her four children, she reset her career to become a yoga teacher, training in vinyasa, prana vinyasa, kundalini, restorative, yin, yoga nidra, herbal medicine, and Ayurveda. She's a lifelong learner who always has a yoga or Ayurveda text tucked into her bag — not exactly typical beach reading. Her classes draw inspiration from the natural seasons and cycles, Ayurveda, and everyday human experience.

Her hope is that each class feels deeply loving and blissfully transporting, bringing you a little closer to your own exquisite, unique nature. She's grateful to have learned from so many teachers, and her love for yoga only grows with time.

Larry Beerman

Yoga Instructor

“Yoga is not a practice of perfection. It is a practice of balance.” - Baron Baptiste

Larry began his yoga journey almost 10 years ago in Northern Virginia after years as a long-distance runner. Out of curiosity, he tried a yoga class at his local gym and was hooked. Wanting to build on his years of practice and remain involved in yoga long term, Larry completed his teacher training in early 2022 at Down Dog Yoga in Herndon, Virginia. He has cultivated a strong Baptiste power flow and wishes to share it with anyone who wants to sweat, breathe intentionally, and deepen their practice. Larry and his wife moved to Ocean View full time in 2016.

Yvonne Lyons

Yoga Instructor

After recently relocating to Delaware from the D.C. area, Yvonne is excited to share her passion for yoga with a new community. She has been practicing yoga for more than 15 years and, five years ago, completed her teacher training at Down Dog Yoga in Georgetown, D.C. The moving meditation of hot power yoga has transformed her both mentally and physically. She believes yoga should be both challenging and accessible, welcoming all levels and all bodies. Together, they'll breathe, move, sweat, and grow.
