Dan Vineis and Grace Spencer

Dan attended Bikram Yoga Teacher Training in spring of 2014 in Los Angeles. He has also completed ChildLight Kids Yoga and Mindfulness Teacher Training in January of 2019, as well as Inferno Hot Pilates Teacher training in March of 2019. 
Dan attended his first Bikram Yoga class 10 years ago. A welder by trade, he loved the amazing physical and mental challenge he felt, and that continues to fuel his fire. He is impassioned by the transformative powers of these wellness modalities and how inspiring others to establish their practice brings wellness to the entire community. 
Dan's soul is set aflame by an ever evolving list, but the mainstays are being outdoors, being in the mountains, creating and working with wood and metal, being with his family, deepening his knowledge of yoga and anatomy, and helping other's succeed in attaining the change they're after.
Grace attended the YogaSport 26 & 2 200hr YTT in the summer of 2016, while pregnant with their youngest son. She also completed Childlight's Kid's Yoga and Mindfulness Teacher Training in January of 2019 and Inferno Hot Pilates Teacher training in March of 2019.
Crossing paths with Dan later in life (they went to High School together!), he encouraged Grace to try the transformative yoga he had found. She loved the challenge, the release, and the incredible sense of self awareness it brought her. Love was found both on and off the mat from there.
What sets Grace's soul on fire is connecting with people. Listening, holding space and gently nudging others into stoking their own inner light is what brings her joy; along with her loving gaggle of boys, hiking, being outdoors, gardening, laughing, drawing, reading, creating, and every other adjective that describes the journey of living.

   Britt attended the YogaSport 26&2 200hr YTT in the summer of 2016, but has been practicing this yoga method for a decade. Her soul is set on fire by(and not limited to) the following list: Teaching yoga. Writing. Singingly loudly with children. Teaching kids how autism spectrum disorders and ADHD are a super power. Walking on the beach. Getting to talk into the microphone. Camp fires late at night. Oprah. Brene Brown's TED talks. Meditation. Playing in the woods. Sports, games, and competition. Creating energy. Throwing dodgeballs at children. Music. Jack Kerouac. Painting with no shoes on. 1 on 1 conversations. Saying no to shit I hate.  Making others laugh. Swimming. Long discussions about the importance of yoga, sleep, self care, fostering independence in our children, arts in education, and Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Talking about postpartum depression. Learning about leadership and human behavior. Being walking permission for people to say out loud what they really want to say. Reading. Snuggling people I love.  Harmless pranks. Amethyst. A good sweat. 

Varina Bednarz

Varina’s first true love and commitment to yoga came
when discovering the original 26+2 practice years ago. Learning how to use breath and movement to connect
with her body brought peace, mental clarity, and the
physical health she had been searching for. She enrolled in
a Yin Yoga training program with Josh Summers during January 2018 as part of deeper commitment to holistic wellness and body work. She completed this 200 hour Yin Yoga Teacher Certification during the Summer of 2019 and
has enjoyed sharing this beautiful complementary and meditative practice with others. 

Varina is also a RN, Reiki Master, and training to be an
End of Life Doula. She works full time in a busy Boston recovery room and offers reiki services to hospice patients and private clients through her business Inviting Peace.
She is passionate about helping others reconnect with their inner wisdom and the place of peace that resides in us all. 

Varina lives in Marshfield with her beloved husband and bulldog. In addition to all things wellness, she is nourished by time in nature, intentional convos, stand up paddle-boarding, reading, travel, solitude, and music.

Janet Thumith​

Janet came to hot yoga looking for a new workout challenge.  She has been practicing 26+2, 5-7days per week, for 8 years now.   She finds that the practice resets her body and mind.  She craves the heat in the hot room and finds that each day her practice feels new, bringing her to new levels.  The 26 + 2 helps combat stress in her life and brings her back to a sense of calm.  There is always room for growth in her body and mind and that keeps her coming back.
Janet is from Littleton, MA.  She moved to the Cape two years ago.  Prior to becoming a mom, Janet worked as a Registered Nurse with a specialty in infection control.  Janet is married (for 33 years)and has devoted the last 22 years to raising their son. 

Janet took her first Inferno Hot Pilates class approximately 3 years ago.  The class was definitely challenging!
As Inferno Hot Pilates has made its way to the Cape she realized the benefits of the class.  She loves the heat, the energy, the intensity, the fun, and the way it makes her body feel.   Oh, and, of course,  for those of you who know her, the Whoot Whoot!! 
Janet decided to take the IHP teacher training and is so glad she did!!   It really has put a “skip in her step”!   She’s happy to keep learning and encouraging others to do their very best!
