Sallie Werst is a certified Zumba instructor living right here in Hollis. She is originally from Merrimack, NH and received a BA in Marketing with a minor in studio art from Pace University in NYC. While in New York, Sallie had the opportunity to pursue her passion for dance and continued to train extensively with renowned instructors. She has studied with Ballet Austin, Central PA Youth Ballet, Ballet Academy East, and STEPS on Broadway where she was introduced to hip-hop at a guest workshop with dancer/choreographer Darrin Henson. After graduating from college, Sallie began teaching jazz and hip hop at Southern NH Dance Theater in Bedford and Monadnock Performing Arts Academy in Peterborough but felt a need to reach those who did not grow up in a dance studio or did not fit into the student demographic. She revisited NYC to attend a Zumba workshop and loved it! It perfectly combined her love of dance and high energy music with fitness and well being.

Monica enjoys guiding students on a journey of their mind, body and spirit. She focuses on anatomy and alignment in the poses as well as the therapeutic benefits students receive in each pose.

Amye Renaud

Amye has been practicing yoga for 5 years. She began her journey in Salem, New Hampshire, at Salem Kripalu Yoga Studio, under the study of Bob Gibbs. After a few years of living in Merrimack and raising her young daughter, Alyssa, she started attending regular classes at Hollis Yoga. Now, she divides her time between both studios. As a 2nd grade teacher at the Hollis Primary School, she realized that yoga was something to share with her students as well. During the summer of 2011, Amye trained with Lisa Flynn at ChildLight Yoga Studio in Dover, New Hampshire, to receive a basic certification in teaching kids’ yoga. During the summer of 2012, she will train with Lisa for the advanced teacher training in kids’ yoga. It is a blessing and a joy to be able to offer a kids’ yoga class at Hollis Yoga!
