I am SO excited to set up my studio in my new sunroom! I had the image of that bright white room with sun streaming through the window for months and it manifested!"
Holly
I'm a wife and mother of 3 high energy kiddos, two boys and a girl I began practicing yoga 11 years ago right before I became pregnant with my daughter.
I 100% believe yoga helped me have an easy pregnancy and delivery not once, but twice. I received my yoga certification in 2019 with a background in Hatha and Ashtanga. Yoga keeps me grounded and allows the peace from above to enter.
Outside of yoga I enjoy the beach, working within the furniture industry, traveling, and listening to live music. I love to be in nature and around animals along with meeting new and interesting people! Yoga has been my go-to when the winds of change take place or when I simply need a quiet moment to breathe. Shanti Shanti Shanti

DaLisa Gitter
I’m DaLisa, an RYT-200 Yoga Instructor, Certified Ayurvedic Health Counselor, fur mama and people person. My wellness journey started in my 20’s, overworked and burnt out from the retail industry. It all began when I became aware that even though all my issues were “normal” they didn’t have to be my reality. My nervous system needed a reset and finding yoga changed my life. I am a veteran 200-RYT of Ganesha’s Yoga & Wellness Academy in 2017 and a 600 hr certified Ayurvedic Health Counselor, specializing in women’s health from the Shakti School of Ayurveda.
I founded Blooming Luna Wellness in 2021 in my mission to educate, empower & support women on their life-long wellness journey. By reconnecting to our natural rhythms through yoga, breathwork, daily practices, movement & self care we can tap into the body’s inner wisdom and restore balance in our nervous system, digestion, sleep, and mental health. With a background in events management - I love hosting yoga festivals, retreats, workshops, and trainings with people of all ages and life-stages.
Classes I love teaching: Slow Flow, Grounded Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra, as well as Ayurvedic Wellness Workshops & Women's Circles.
