Amy
Amy weaves together different movement modalities, anatomical education and bodywork in her practice, Emerge with Amy LePage. Beginning as a therapeutic yoga practitioner, focusing on functional movement and mechanics of breathing, Amy deepened her skillset to become a somatic practitioner, offering movement classes that instill a practice of deeply tuning in and listening to ones own body in motion, rest and breath.
Her approach to movement is through educating students to better understand themselves: their nervous systems, how neuromuscular retraining works, how breathing is impacted by ones habits and patterns, and getting curious about slowing down and exploring how smaller movements have big rewards. Her background and years of dance and improvisational movement also informs her approach to teaching. You can see her skillset and trainings here.
In addition to Somatics, Amy also offers movement for pregnancy, childbirth education, pelvic floor education, Somatic Bodywork during pregnancy and postpartum & classes with baby.
Amy's somatic group classes, workshops and private client sessions are all about experiential learning – providing students and clients the foundational framework to help themselves move toward a softer, more easeful experience of living in their bodies.
Her work with individuals and families during pregnancy, birth and beyond is infused with a holistic, evidence based and highly individualized focus, supporting people to be seen, heard and empowered during this transitional time.
ASHLEY
Ashley is driven to nurture inclusive and accessible yoga, with self-knowing at the heart of everything she offers. Her passion lies in reducing barriers and empowering people to connect more deeply with their emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. In her classes, expect to play in your bodies, ground into your natural rhythms, and build light-hearted yet intentional community wellness.
Through Hatha yoga, Ashley invites students to explore and trust their own pace, using asana and pranayama to elevate holistic well-being. Whether working with adults or youth, I’m committed to fostering brave, welcoming spaces where everyone feels seen and supported.
Devon
Devon Parish has always expressed herself through movement. She trained in classical ballet and modern dance for over twenty years, at times performing professionally, and she still loves it. It took a persistent injury and some persuasive friends to finally bring her to the yoga mat in 2011. There, she soon found not only healing but also a new passion. In 2014, she completed her 200-hour training through the Boston Yoga School under the guidance of Ame Wren. She has also completed additional training in Yin Yoga and Functional Anatomy.
Since becoming a mother, Devon has explored how to use yoga as a tool for guiding people through radical life transitions. She is a student of somatics and narrative healing. Over the years, Devon has taught in studios, gyms, community centers, churches, and parks across Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Vermont. Her teaching is rooted in the vinyasa style of linking breath and movement. Devon values intelligent sequencing that empowers students to challenge themselves while staying safe and not taking themselves too seriously. She strives to foster an atmosphere of belonging and growth, believing that embodiment in community is ultimately the key to transforming our world.

She holds her B.A. in Dance and Humanities from Bennington College and is a National Academy of Sports Medicine certified trainer with specializations in Corrective Exercise and Behavioral Change. She's had a lifelong fascination with the human body's composition, capabilities, and direct link to quality of life. Her dance performance work is reflective of this curiosity, and she blends her understanding of movement mechanics with an explorative quality for her students and clients to get enchanted by their capabilities, too.
