Who you practice with

Our teachers

A small team who teach the way they like to practice. Slow, clear, and hands on when you want it.

Dana Whitfield

Owner, vinyasa and yin

Dana opened Stillwater in 2018 and teaches most of the flow and yin classes. A 500 hour registered teacher who loves a slow build and a long, quiet rest.

Sam Ortiz

Hatha, beginners and chair yoga

Sam teaches the gentle hatha classes, the beginners course, and chair yoga for seniors. Patient, clear, and a good first teacher if you are new.

Priya Nair

Ashtanga and Mysore mornings

Priya leads the Mysore mornings, guiding the ashtanga sequence one student at a time. Steady, precise, and generous with her attention.

And friends

Guest teachers and workshops

Once a month or so we host a guest teacher for a Sunday workshop. The opening weekend of the Meadow room, on 1 October 2026, will have a few. Watch this space and our Instagram.

We would rather teach you well than teach you fast.
