Our Teachers
Hayley Holdridge
Hayley Holdridge (she/hers, ERYT-500) is an experienced yogi and avid student, as well as a lifelong practitioner of folk magic. Both magic and yoga encourage the practitioner to “Know thyself”; and in that spirit, Hayley has followed the path of Jnana Yoga, or the yoga of study.
Hayley continues to practice the process of Self-discovery; developing compassionate discernment through the yogic practice of svadhyaya, or self-study.
Join Hayley for slow, spiritual flows, strengthening self-awareness and emphasizing self-acceptance.
When she isn’t teaching, you can find Hayley reading with the Ritual+Shelter Coven, and moving with her friends at Ecstatic Dance!
Alexis Unger
Alexis (she/they, ERYT-500) is a yoga and meditation teacher, writer, and community connector. Alexis was initially drawn to yoga as a non-competitive method of movement and physical wellness. Alexis has since expanded their love of yoga to focus on meditation and asana’s role in overall mind-body-spirit connection.
Alexis’s passion is encouraging students to slow down and connect with their inner voice both on and off the mat through yoga, meditation, dance, and writing.
Helen Lee
Helen’s (she/her, RYT-200) journey to yoga began in 2019 as a weekly girls night outing. What started as a social activity soon turned into a journey of self exploration, inner healing and a deep desire to peel back the layers and know oneself fully.
Helen designs many aspects of her classes through the lens of The Five Element Theory of Chinese Medicine, looking to nature’s seasonal cycles and patterns for wisdom and inspiration. With the belief that we are an intricate part of Great Nature, Helen’s classes are designed to help us find harmony, balance and stability in each of life’s seasons through embodied movement, breath and mindfulness. In conjunction with the use of the imagination, metaphors and visualization, you can expect to leave class feeling connected and attuned to your external and internal environments.
Mary-John Blevins
Annie Clark
Annie Clark (she/her, RYT-200) began her yoga journey in 2016, and it has followed her through many seasons. Annie works with children, and she brings that same playful patience into her practice; her humor and kindness create a safe space for self-exploration and community connection in every class.
When she isn’t teaching at In Bloom, you can find Annie guiding Birmingham’s youngest yoga students in her school-sponsored Yoga for Littles program, where she inspires children to navigate big emotions with compassion and care.
Mary-John Blevins (she/her RYT-200) is a Yoga Teacher and Architect based in Birmingham, Alabama. Mary-John appreciates a challenge, and you can expect her classes to be both mentally and physically engaging, as well as accessible across a spectrum of practice levels and styles. She completed her 200-hour training at The Sacred Fig in Portugal, and is currently pursuing her certification in Katonah Yoga.
When she isn’t teaching, Mary-John enjoys spending her time gardening with her dog, Tilley.
Morgan Flowers
Morgan has been practicing yoga for 18 years, finally taking the leap to get her 200-hour teaching certificate in 2023 at Boston Yoga Union.
With a focus on meeting your body where it is on any given day, she believes in coming as you are to practice, and accepting and honoring whatever version of you appears on the mat.
When Morgan isn’t on her mat, you can find her reading and cuddling with her two cats!
