August Support Staff of the Month: Marcela

Meet Marcela!

At Twisted Grit Yoga (TGY), we’re more than just a studio—we’re a community. This August, we’re thrilled to highlight Marcela, a valued member of our TGY family, as our August Staff Member of the Month.

Why Marcela Loves Twisted Grit Yoga

For Marcela, Twisted Grit Yoga is more than just a place to practice yoga; it’s a space for connection and self-care. “I love TGY because besides fitting in some of my favorite classes into my self-care routine, I’ve been able to connect with other teachers, staff, and even members,” she shares. This sense of community is what makes TGY a special place for her.

Marcela’s Role at Twisted Grit Yoga

Marcela plays an essential role at Twisted Grit as part of our cleaning team and a dedicated member of the TGY community. Her work ensures that the studio remains a welcoming, safe, and pristine environment for everyone who walks through our doors.

Inspiration Behind Marcela’s Work

What drives Marcela to support TGY with her talents and expertise is the positive impact yoga has on her life and the connections she’s able to make. “Every time I’m done taking a class, I feel a bit better about myself, and I get to relate and connect with some of the people who come in,” she explains. This mutual support and connection inspire her to contribute to the studio.

Life Beyond Twisted Grit Yoga

When she’s not at the studio, Marcela enjoys going on long walks, whether with friends or on her own. But what might surprise the TGY community is her passion for early childhood education. Marcela has been in the field for 13 years as a preschool teacher and has discovered how yoga benefits children. She’s been sharing yoga poses, stretching, breathing exercises, and practices of kindness with her young students, helping them incorporate self-care and mindfulness into their daily lives. “It fills me up seeing them being kind to other peers without being afraid to do so!” she says.

What Inspires Marcela at Twisted Grit

Marcela is continually inspired by the work happening at Twisted Grit to provide the best possible experience for everyone who comes in. “I get to see firsthand what the studio has been working on to provide the best possible experience for anyone that comes in!” she shares, reflecting on her appreciation for TGY’s commitment to comfort for all.
