Beth Rosen
Hello, I'm Beth. I am a yoga teacher because yoga has brought a lot of joy
into my life, and I hope to share that joy with others. When I started doing yoga with my teenage daughter, I immediately loved the sense of peace and focus; the way it took my attention from the small irritations in my life and gave me time to be present. Yoga was a huge mental health support through the COVID-19 pandemic, and it helped me accept the transition of my children becoming adults and leaving home.

Yoga has also been a support for me physically. I feel the strength in my body in everyday life. When I bring physical strength into my meditation practice, I am able to focus for longer without needing to slouch or lie down. Yoga is truly for everybody, and I am a yoga
teacher because I want to help others to discover the joy of a yoga journey.
Eric Jensema
Eric is fascinated by the mind-body connection as well as the healing power of movement, breath, and the journey inward. The power of yoga was clear from the start of his practice, and he quickly embraced it by completing his 200-hr yoga teacher training at Perennial during his first year of practice in 2024.
Eric's classes emphasize connection with the breath, the power of facing your fears, and finding a sense of calm within the storm of life. He believes in the embodiment of our being through the senses and often incorporates the poetic wisdom of modern-day musicians to help heal the heart and free the soul. His teaching approach includes listening to your body and balancing science and intuition, all while being informed by trauma-sensitive practices. Through his guidance, students can expect to explore a journey of self-discovery and healing, using yoga as a tool to navigate and embrace the complexities of life.

Grace Kilpatrick
Grace has been on a spiritual journey her entire life, with yoga being an integral part to her life practice for more than 10 years. As an ordained Pagan minister, she brings a profound relationship with the natural world and welcomes the cycles of Spirit that flow through and around each of us. She completed her RYT-200 program in 2025 at Perennial Yoga and is honored to guide embodied yoga classes that allow for sincere exploration of asana and pranayama, inviting students to move with the rhythms of life - on and off the mat. Ensuring that all minds and bodies find rejuvenation and peace in yoga incorporates two of Grace’s core values: accessibility and inclusion.
Laura Tiller
Laura fell in love with yoga the first time she practiced. It relaxed and enlivened her body, mind, and spirit. It has been over twenty years and the love remains. The decision to teach felt like a natural extension of her career as an educator. Laura completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Perennial Yoga with Megan Grace and Keith Borden. It is Laura’s goal to use breath and movement to help students move deeply within, to travel to their personal edges, and to gain strength along with flexibility.
Chris Zimmer
"Yoga has given me strength and a deeper understanding of myself. I discovered yoga 6 years ago. Finding myself on a mat at a time of self discovery and transformation - ah, Serenity!! It wasn’t long until I dreamed of sharing what I had found with others. I recently completed my 200-hour RYT training with Megan & Keith at Perennial, learning to walk the path of enlightenment. As I continue to evolve into my higher self, I invite you to walk with me and explore the path of yoga. Let’s heal our mind, body, & spirit. Connecting through practice, we can move mountains. I love our community and look forward to meeting you on your journey."
Meghan Behn
Meghan has found her way to yoga several times - always hungry. Whether hungry for joy as a dispirited teenager and discovering the thrill of a full inhale and complete exhale. Or hungry for connection as a young adult lost in the fragmented scenes of night life and taking the first steps into a public studio space. Or most recently, hungry for substance after closing her laptop in the early evenings and making the commitment to become a yoga teacher through Perennial’s Wisdom Yoga School in 2025.These pangs of hunger may be familiar and evolve over time, but a curious yoga practice can provide the sustenance to become the very best version of oneself.
Meghan’s classes are taught with the enthusiasm of a passionate and active yoga student. Practice will be energizing for your body and playful for your mind while encouraging a sense of belonging for your inner self.
Emily Wiersma
Emily’s aim is to facilitate a space where students are able to be truly present and connect with their bodies and minds. She shares practices that facilitate body and breath awareness to help students experience presence and connection. She integrates her experience as a social worker in the mental health field to create classes that promote holistic wellness.
Emily came to yoga after a period of hardship. Though she had tried yoga previously in high school, she didn’t experience the life changing power it offers until years later. It was when her teacher described it as a “moving meditation” that she began to scratch the surface of what yoga truly is. As she practiced, she fell in love with the breath and movement of Hot Yoga and Vinyasa. It facilitated a deep sense of embodiment that can be hard to achieve in a busy, technology focused world.
In the fall of 2023, she attended the Perennial Yoga School, where she earned her 200-hour designation. It not only provided her with a deeper knowledge of yoga but also challenged her physically, mentally, and spiritually. She loves to support students in their challenges and goals, whether that be building awareness, practicing nonjudgment, or trying a new pose.
Lisa Bartig
Lisa‘s aim is to facilitate a space where students can truly be present, feel a sense of belonging, and release what does not serve them during asana practice.
These intentions come from Lisa’s own journey which began in 2022 when she made big life changes due to an abusive work environment which led to health issues. Yoga gave her a way to find clarity with all that had happened. Yoga was a daily release, a refuge, and made her feel whole.
Lisa furthered her journey by completing her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Perennial in 2025 under the direction of Keith Borden and Megan Grace.
When not practicing yoga, Lisa can be found expressing her creativity through quilting, gardening, being in nature, and reading. She lives with her husband and is a mother of two beautiful adult daughters.
Colin Holden
My yoga journey began when a house mate began leading morning exercises in our common living room. Ever since I have been called back to yoga again and again, each time surprised and delighted by the gifts and insight that bloomed from consistent practice. I have worked for many years with teachers in both the Vinyasa and Iyengar traditions. I want to share how a sustained, constant, energetic, and mindful practice can build and deepen awareness.
Cortney Arnold
Cortney thrives on helping people connect to their bodies in new ways. Using breath and movement, Cortney will guide you to reawaken your hands, feet, and trunk – areas necessary for moving through the world yet often taken for granted. Cortney’s introspective practices will enable any yogi, seasoned or brand-new, to find embodiment, harmony, and a grounded sense of connection. Her yoga practice began in 2008 and has been a journey of self-discovery ever since: learning and unlearning what Yoga, community, breath, and spirit really mean.
Outside of her yoga practice, Cortney is a leader in the credit union industry. During free time, you might find her reading, watching TV with her kitties, or outside enjoying the beautiful world.
Erika Wilson
Erika Wilson has been practicing yoga since 2004, embracing it as a sanctuary through the peaks and valleys of life. What began as a physical practice has evolved into a lifelong journey of self-discovery, healing, and spiritual growth.
In May 2025, Erika completed her RYT-200 through the Perennial WISDOM Yoga School under the guidance of Megan Grace and Keith Borden. Her approach is deeply rooted in compassion and authenticity. With more than 23 years in the corporate world, yoga has offered her a wonderful counterbalance- nurturing her creativity, strengthening her resilience, and inviting more harmony into her life.

Miranda Gojdas
Miranda first discovered yoga when she took a class on a whim with her mom. The energy after that class kickstarted her love for the practice. In 2018, after the sudden loss of her brother, yoga helped her navigate grief and find new meaning in life. She is a firm believer in the world never giving us a challenge that we cannot overcome. Her goal is to share any and every lesson that she can, provide support and encouragement for conquering the fears and struggles thrown our way, and help people fall in love with themselves again. When she’s not on her mat she is traveling, enjoying the outdoors, occupied with gardening, or hanging out with her dogs.
This Sunday morning flow class is taught by recent graduates of our teacher training program. All are welcome! Please sign up in advance, and bring your own yoga mat if you have one. If this is your first visit to Perennial, arrive early to complete a new student waiver.
This class is held at our Fitchburg location.
