Mallory
Mallory grew up most of her life in the Sugar Land, TX area and found her way to a yoga studio with hopes of finding not just a community but a family. She began her yoga journey a few years ago and decided to start her Yoga Teacher Training. She discovered Bella Yoga soon after and is so excited to be a part of the instructor team! She loves deepening her practice on the mat at home and in studio and continues to be inspired by the practice and the positive changes it has brought in her life. When not on her mat, Mallory enjoys traveling with her Husband and is a proud dog mom to their precious pup, Zeppy! Having received her training in Vinyasa Yoga, she is ready to lead our Bella community through a Power style Vinyasa class.
Mallory loves teaching yoga because it brings her joy connecting with her students. She enjoys guiding them through their experience on the mat and helping them live well within their bodies and mind through breath and movement. Her intention is to provide an inclusive space for students and to create a community that especially during these distanced times, we may all need.

Meg
Yoga gave me a place to relieve stress and breath deeper. I was always wanting more, so in 2014 I completed my 200 hour certification while expecting my first child, and living in Florida. Working on my certification while pregnant forced me to slow down and get to know my body in a different way. My husband and I moved back to Texas a few years ago; we currently live in Richmond with our two adorable children.
Our bodies are strong, and are meant to move and flow. Everyone deserves to feel the strength their own body possesses. I love teaching a slow flow class focusing on stretching out our minds and bodies.
Yoga found me at a time I was anxious and stressed. I’ve learned that I can find calm when I’m surrounded by chaos. Doing yoga before, during, and after three pregnancies has taught me that yoga is for everyone. I teach because I want everyone to know that anyone can do yoga at any stage and feel amazing in their own skin. We are all beautiful and capable beings.

Niki
My first introduction to Hatha yoga was in a church community center around 15 years ago whilst living in England. Movement and learning to consciously breathe had a huge impact on my ability to manage life with a new baby and a full time work schedule. Since that time I have tried many different styles of yoga and I am always drawn to a more gentler flow of yoga movement. I completed my 200hr integrative yoga therapy teacher training with Nurture Soul Therapeutics in December 2016. Since that time I have taken an intensive restorative yoga workshop and completed a prenatal teacher training. I am also a Reiki practitioner.
My passion lies in making yoga accessible to everyone. We are all unique and our bodies are not built the same so our yoga can look and will feel different to the person next to us. Through slowing down the breath, moving mindfully with the help of props (yes they are our friends !) we can all experience the joy of yoga.
Why I teach is quite simple. I have experienced the benefits of yoga in all aspects of my being and life, and I wanted to share this beautiful practice with the world around me. No matter who you are or what your capabilities are, you can benefit from some aspect of yoga, whether that be breath work, meditation, self inquiry or a physical practice to name a few.
In my class I offer you space. Space in your body to breathe and to move the energy within you. Space for your body to move and flow and space for your mind to experience stillness and peace.
Niki is currently working on advanced studies in Yoga Therapy.
