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!

Jade Hargrave
Jade began taking POUND classes back in 2015 when the owner of a fabulous barre studio in Plymouth introduced it
to her clients. She was instantly hooked and began going regularly as many times as she could fit in. Not only was the music and energy amazing, but the use of the ripstix added that extra intensity. Being able to hear the beat in sync
within the class was amazing. And what an intense whole body workout it was! It combines cardio, conditioning, and strength training with yoga and pilates inspired movements.
When a training opportunity came up a few towns away in May of 2018, she knew she had to take it. At the time of the training, Jade wasn’t sure if she would ever use that license
to teach anyone. She wanted to have it, “just in case.” Jade began teaching classes in the summer of 2018 and since
then has taken additional trainings, including Generation Pound for children. Jade is passionate about this format. POUND is for everyBODY and the movement is for you, not anyone else. The set list tracks in class allow the participants to exercise different muscle groups while maintaining an elevated heart rate throughout class. You can exercise harder and for longer periods without noticing it as you are distracted by the variety of movements and amazing music. You can do hundreds of squats in one class without even realizing it! The workout is modifiable for all. While POUND is a definite passion of Jade’s, so is her amazing family. She keeps busy with her three children and has two stepsons in highschool as well. Jade loves hanging out with family and friends, dancing, reading, eating delicious meals, and hosting parties. She also sells activewear on the side.
