Colin H. After discovering a thirst for yoga during college, Colin pursued her yoga practice academically, spiritually and physically. Inspired by the power of yoga to heal the body, quiet the mind and cultivate the spirit Colin became an instructor in order to share the joy of yoga with others. She continues to follow her yoga path both as a student and a teacher. As an instructor she blends traditions from classical hatha, power vinyasa and hot yoga to create a fun and challenging atmosphere. Colin teaches with a confident and nurturing air. Her objective is to explore the union of mind, body and spirit, encouraging her students to discover their own yoga practice. In Colin's classes, you'll use the breath as a tool to invite space and light into the body, suspending the mind in the present moment and opening the heart in a warm, welcoming environment.

About the Studio's Teachers

The teacher profile pages preserved in this archive document the instructors who shaped Hot Yoga For Life's character over its 12+ years of operation. Each teacher brought specific lineage, training, and personality to the studio's collective teaching identity. Some came up through the studio's own 500-hour teacher training program; others arrived with established practices from other lineages and integrated their approach into the studio's broader philosophy.

What unified the Hot Yoga For Life teaching faculty across individual lineages and styles was a shared commitment to depth of practice rather than surface-level fitness instruction. The teachers documented in this archive came from different yoga traditions but all prioritized the integration of philosophical study, anatomical awareness, and meditative practice alongside the physical asanas that fill regular class time.
