Instructors
Small classes, teachers who notice.
With a handful of people in the room, the instructor sees how you move and adjusts the work to you. These are the people who'll be watching.

Lena Ortiz
Founder
Lena opened Kestrel in 2019 with one idea: classes small enough that the instructor can see everyone in the room. She still teaches across the week and knows most regulars by the way they set up their springs.

Our newest instructor. Maya teaches reformer and prenatal classes, and is the person to ask about keeping up a practice through pregnancy and in the months after.

Sam Brooks
Instructor
Sam teaches mat and strength: slow, exact work with your own body weight and a few light dumbbells. Expect to shake a little, and to stand taller afterwards.
