Meet Your Teachers

Cardio Instructor New Braunfels

Hi I’m Janice, I just moved here from Puyallup Washington. Finding a gym was the first thing on my to do list and I am thankful to have found GWY.

I started my fitness journey in high school swimming, playing water polo and lifeguarding. I took those skills and used them at Fort Lewis teaching all ages swim lessons, water aerobics and coaching the swim team. I moved on to managing the military training pool where I taught pool physical training, combat water survival and vehicle rollover training. After about 13 years in aquatics I stepped away to volunteer at my children’s school and regularly attend a gym.

I really enjoyed being in group fitness but missed my teaching days so I got certified to teach Barre and it was exactly what I was looking for. I love all of the different styles it offers and that anyone can do it. I am excited to serve my new community in their fitness journey and hope to see you in class!

Yoga Instructor New Braunfels

“Take time to do what makes your soul happy.”

Yoga has been a passion of mine for the last 20 years. Starting with my very first Core26 class back in 2005 to finding my true love in Buti Movement, this practice truly connects my mind, body and spirit. Gypsy is where we are given the space to be strong, vulnerable, fearless and feminine. It’s one of harmony, humility, peace and joy all in one. You feel it as soon as I you step foot in the studio, get to know your teachers, fellow students and create real connections with this beautiful tribe.

I can’t wait to see you on the matt :) - Marlene

I teach Power Flow and Yoga Sculpt and I’m so excited to bring high energy, strength building classes that challenge you while still making space for mindfulness and connection.

Yoga Instructor Oxford

Hi, I’m Olivia! I started taking classes at Gypsy Waltz, and fell in love with the practice of yoga. Life can be stressful - I’m an attorney and an over-thinker - so having a space to completely unplug and focus on moving your body allows your mind to slow down and quiet the noise.

I believe all things can be done for God’s glory, and it has been so special to find a new way of worshipping my Savior. I can’t wait to grow with this community physically, mentally, and spiritually. See you on the mat!

Cycle and Bounce Instructor New Braunfels

Hey yall, I’m Abby Kemter! I’m an avid runner, triathlete, and lover of all things cardio. Cycling became my way to heal my body and mind, and along the way I discovered how powerful movement can be, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too.

I started teaching because I wanted to share that feeling with others to create a space where people can challenge themselves, find strength, and feel proud of what their bodies can do. In my classes, I’m here to push you, cheer you on, and help you celebrate every victory big or small. Let’s ride hard, move with intention, and leave stronger than when we started. 💛

Yoga Instructor New Braunfels

Katherine has practiced yoga for 10 years and began as a means to calm a racing mind. Her teaching is focused on strengthening vinyasas and contemplative gentle flows to build strength from the inside out. Katherine’s joy comes from her connection with people and her teaching reflects that. No matter what level, her classes are inviting and fun. Get ready to sweat and let go.

Yoga Instructor New Braunfels

After twenty years living overseas, Hànanda crossed the pond, came home and has been catching up on Tex-Mex and Cajun food ever since! Her unique accent is sweet and steel all rolled into one, just like her yoga practice. She brings over twenty years of yoga teaching experience to her mat, where she blends her love of coaching, cheerleading, music and yoga to inspire and empower others to SHINE on and off the mat. With her mix of precise instruction, creative imagery and jamming playlists she aims to leave you feeling safe, successful, satisfied and sensational!

Cycle and Cardio Instructor New Braunfels

Hi I’m Deanna Coleman and I am so excited to be a part of the GW team! I have been teaching indoor cycling and strength classes for the past 4 years and a group fitness fanatic for almost 2 decades! I truly believe that music and moving your body are medicine! I love all types of music (light on the pop, heavy on the EDM).

Outside of the studio you can usually find me hanging with my family, hiking new trails, or teaching preschool at my church!

Hope to see you in class, follow me on Instagram @deannalynncoleman

Yoga Instructor New Braunfels

I found yoga about eight years ago after bouncing between every kind of workout you can think of. Nothing really stuck—until I hit the mat. That first flow hit different, and I’ve been hooked ever since. What started as a workout turned into a lifestyle—one that challenges me, grounds me, and keeps me growing.

My classes are a vibe: think big beats, strong power flows, and intentional movement that pushes you past your comfort zone. You’ll sweat, you’ll laugh, and you’ll always leave feeling more connected—to your body, your breath, and something bigger than yourself.

Yoga doesn’t have a finish line—and that’s what makes it magic. I’m here for the growth, the grind, and the grace. Let’s move together at Gypsy—come ready to show up, level up, and be unapologetically you.

Angela

Cycle Instructor New Braunfels

Hi, my name is Alyssa! My passion for being an instructor began back in 2019 when I first started teaching at CycleBar in Midland, TX. Since then, my love for leading a room, building community, and uplifting others through movement has only grown—and I’m so excited to bring that same energy to Gypsy!

With a background in health and exercise science and years of experience as a nurse, I have a deep appreciation for what our bodies are capable of. On the bike, my classes are high-energy, rhythm-driven, and all about leaving you stronger, lighter, and more confident than when you walked in. Expect good vibes, sweaty smiles, and playlists that make you want to dance on the bike! For me, it’s more than just a workout—it’s about connection, empowerment, and having a whole lot of fun along the way.

When I’m not at the studio, I’m either working as an aesthetic nurse injector,  curating floral arrangements for my small business, Two T’s Flower Shop, or spending time outside. Whether I’m in my scrubs, TIEMs, or surrounded by stems, my goal is always the same: to help others feel confident, empowered, and inspired.

I can’t wait to see you in class and ride it out together!

Kettlebell Instructor New Braunfels

Hi, I’m Brooke McClure. For over 15 years, I’ve built a true appreciation for fitness, developing a strong passion for weight training and exploring many ways to move—through yoga, hiking, cycling, and golf. Core strength and mobility are especially important to me, and they’re at the center of how I approach both my own training and the classes I lead.

My kettlebell and rowing classes are energetic, fun, and uplifting, designed to challenge you while reminding you that we can do hard things! I believe in pushing limits while respecting your body, modifying when needed, and celebrating progress along the way.

I’m thrilled to be part of the Gypsy Waltz team and can’t wait to grow, sweat, and thrive together. I hope to see you in class soon!

Yoga Instructor New Braunfels

Originally from Arlington, I moved to New Braunfels in 2014 and have loved river-town life ever since.  Outside the studio, you can usually find me outdoors with my fiancé— fly fishing, catching live music, or at home with our crew of three cats and a dog, working on a puzzle and watching murder mysteries or sports.

Six years ago, I took my first hot yoga class at Gypsy— completely lost and searching for peace. This studio brought me back to myself, gave me clarity, and changed my life. Today, I get to teach in the very room where it all began and I couldn’t be more grateful.

Cardio Instructor Oxford

Hi!! I’m Isabelle Sandridge! I’m originally from Madison, MS, but now live in Oxford where I teach 4th grade at Central Elementary. I teach Warrior Sculpt, Kettlebell, and TRX, and I love getting to lead and encourage others to become the strongest version of themselves.

I fell in love with Gypsy because it’s more than just a workout to me—it’s a way to connect my mind and body and reset. I’m so grateful for the Lord allowing me to move, grow, and get stronger both mentally and physically each day, and I love getting to share that with others!

Yoga and Cardio Instructor Oxford

Hi, I’m Samara! I’m originally from Arizona and a proud Ole Miss alum, where I competed on the track and field team. Now, you’ll find me teaching cycle, kettlebell, and TRX classes, and I absolutely love it!

Fitness has always been a huge part of my life, especially weightlifting, and it’s been my go-to for both strength and healing. Gypsy has been a healing space for me since my college athletic days, filled with growth, peace, and community—and I’m so grateful to help create that same experience for others.

I absolutely love teaching all my classes, and my goal is simple: to make sure you leave feeling confident, strong, and proud of yourself! Whether we’re cycling, swinging kettlebells, or rocking TRX, we’re in this together!

Can’t wait to see you in class!

Yoga Instructor New Braunfels

I have always loved working out being a former ballerina and runner.  I started practicing yoga in 1994. I discovered that in 1999 I wanted a deeper understanding so I started my self practice (mysore) and began to develop a love for Ashtanga yoga.  I practiced Ashtanga solely until 2013.  I opened my heart to other types of yoga and realized I have a love for the practice and a desire to share my passion with others.  I received my RYT 200 hr and continued to practice yoga at Gypsy Waltz until finally gaining the opportunity to teach, practice and share community with my friends at Gypsy Waltz.  I love teaching Barre, Bounce, yoga, KB & TRX.  I look forward to seeing you on the mat!

Barre Instructor Oxford

A native of Oxford, I began my fitness journey in 2007 as a way to find balance outside of my professional career. What started as a personal outlet soon became a true passion and lifelong pursuit. I enjoy all forms of fitness and movement, with a special focus on Barre, Pilates, Cycling and HIIT.

I am a certified Pilates Instructor through Pilates Method Alliance and hold Barre certifications through Cardio Barre and Piloxing Barre. Currently, I am furthering my Barre education through advanced training with Barre Intensity.

When I am not teaching or attending classes at Gypsy, I enjoys spending time with my husband, four children and our four beloved fur babies.

Hi, I’m Madeline! I’m a sophomore at Ole Miss and a cycle instructor. I’m so excited to meet everyone and help you find the same love for cycle that I have.

I’m really grateful for the opportunity to teach at Gypsy and can’t wait to ride with you all soon!

With the world constantly pressuring us to compare ourselves, it is vital for us to find confidence in individuality.

My mission is centered around inspiring courage and poise. During your time with me, we will work hard, support our neighbor, and celebrate personal victories.

We speak kindness over our bodies which were created by our perfect Creator God and find joy in movement. I cannot wait to see you on the mat! 💛

Cycle Instructor Oxford

Hi everyone! My name is Paityn Lorencz and I’m from Santa Barbara, California. I love wake surfing, snowboarding, and any outdoor activity.

I’ve always loved working out and when coming to Oxford, I was looking for a studio that showed a sense of community and that’s exactly what I found at GWS.

I started cycling in high school when I was looking for upbeat, fun workout. Cycling has always been a way I relieve stress and connect my mind and body. In my classes, I want to create a space people can come to disconnect from any outside stress and have fun while working out.

Gypsy has been a huge part of my college experience and I hope I can give the same experience I’ve had to others as well!

Barre and Kettlebell Instructor Oxford

Hi, I’m Blair! 🤍 I’m a wife and mom, a lover of good music, and I’m happiest with a good cup of coffee in hand and a little Gypsy in my day. ☕️ Family is at the heart of pretty much everything I do.

I love a feel-good flow, but I also love turning up the intensity and adding that little extra burn that makes you feel like you really did something!

My practice has become so much more than just a flow for me. It’s my time to clear my head, challenge myself, recharge, and do something that makes me feel good. That feeling is a big part of why I fell in love with teaching.

One of my favorite things is getting to share that time with others. I want my class to be a place where you can walk in exactly as you are, enjoy the music, focus on your mind & heart, challenge yourself, and maybe surprise yourself a little along the way.

More than anything, I hope you leave class feeling stronger, happier, and proud that you took a little time for YOU. 🤍✨

Cardio and Yin Instructor New Braunfels

Hi, I’m Shea! I’m a New Braunfels native, wife to Derek—affectionately known as my “Yogi Husband”—and mom to Evan and Allene. I’ve been an educator for 24 years, and I’m excited to step into the role of instructor as a fun and meaningful extension of my love for encouraging others.

I joined Gypsy Waltz a year and a half ago and quickly found more than a place to work out—I found a welcoming community that challenges, supports, and celebrates one another. My faith is at the center of my life, and I believe caring for our bodies is one way we can honor God, grow stronger, and better serve the people around us.

I hope my classes leave everyone feeling encouraged, capable, and a little stronger than when they walked in. I’m grateful for the opportunity to share movement, laughter, faith, and community with the people who have made Gypsy Waltz feel like home.

Kettlebell Instructor New Braunfels

Hi! I'm Hannah! I am a wife to my high school sweetheart, Cayde and mama to our girls Adley Hayes and Truett Grace. My journey at Gypsy began when I was postpartum with my first baby. I was craving an outlet and a new way to challenge myself since becoming a mom. At Gypsy, I found so much more than a challenging workout, I found the most special community! A community of fellow believers who love to encourage one another not just within the four walls of the studio but in everyday life as well.

I have always had a passion for fitness and feel that since we are created in the likeness of Christ, that our bodies are our temples. With that comes the responsibility to care for our bodies in a way that glorifies the Lord, and what better way to do that than with friends and a fun workout! I hope you will come join me in the studio and become a new workout bestie!!!

Hannah 💛

Kettlebell Instructor New Braunfels

Hi my name is Kayla Kucherka! I am getting my degree in Nutrition and foods at Texas State and going into my fourth year of working out and lifting. I love being an instructor and being able to motivate, inspire, and push people to be the best they can be!

Yoga Instructor New Braunfels

Hi, I’m Megan! I’m a college student who is always traveling, exploring, and seeing the world. I’ve been coming to Gypsy since I was about 15, and over the years, this studio has become so much more than just a place to practice yoga. I’ve grown to love the studio, the community, and especially the faith-based foundation that makes Gypsy so special to me.

Over the past four years of practicing yoga, I’ve learned that yoga is so much more than the physical practice. The spiritual side of yoga has completely changed the way I see myself, the people around me, and the world. It has taught me to slow down, be present, let go of what I can’t control, and create a deeper connection between my mind, body, and spirit.

I’m so excited to share the practice that has given me so much with the Gypsy community and hopefully help others find that same sense of connection, peace, and joy. 🤍

Yoga Instructor New Braunfels

Vanessa’s relationship with yoga began in high school as a tool to build mental grit and mobility for competitive running and triathlons. Over time, her mat evolved from a training ground into her ultimate anchor. When navigating the profound challenges of epilepsy, Vanessa found that intentional movement, deep breath, faith, and practice were the precise tools that restored her health, resilience, and connection to self.

An RYT 300 teacher and lifelong educator, Vanessa brings intentional strength and deep heart to the hot room. Her dynamic teaching style blends the fiery energy of Baptiste Power Vinyasa with the functional integration of Bowspring Alignment and the therapeutic release of Yin and Restore. Whether she’s leading a high-intensity power flow, guiding paddleboard yoga, or bringing mindfulness into local schools, Vanessa creates space for students to push past limits, connect mind to body, and cultivate true internal strength.

Barre, Cycle, Rowlates, and Yoga Sculpt Instructor New Braunfels

Hi! I’m Jenny Ramos! I’m a Canyon Lake girl who grew up spending lots of time in New Braunfels, and I’m so excited to now be part of the Gypsy Walt’z family!

I fell in love with Gypsy, the classes, the instructors, the community, and especially its foundation in faith and Jesus. It has impacted my life in such a positive way, and I can’t wait to pour that same love and encouragement back into others!

Rowlates Instructor Oxford

Hi my name is Ashlee and I teach Rowlates!

When I first started working at Gypsy Waltz, I never could have imagined the impact it would have on my life. What started as simply a job quickly became a place that felt like home and a community that I truly believe God placed in my life for a reason.

One of the biggest blessings Gypsy Waltz has given me is the opportunity to teach Rowlates. Becoming an instructor has pushed me outside of my comfort zone and helped me grow into a more confident and stronger version of myself. There is something so special about getting to walk into a room, lead a class, encourage others, and watch people realize just how strong and capable they are. I may be the one teaching the class, but the people who show up have taught me just as much in return.

Gypsy Waltz has also given me relationships that mean more to me than I could ever put into words. The people here have supported me, believed in me, and encouraged me to become the person I am today. It has shown me how powerful it is to be surrounded by people who genuinely want to see you grow and succeed.

Most importantly, Gypsy Waltz has strengthened my relationship with God. Looking back, I can see that He was working through this opportunity long before I understood what it would become. I thought I was starting a job, but God was leading me toward a purpose, a community, and a place where I would grow in ways I never expected. Teaching Rowlates has reminded me that God can use the things we are passionate about to encourage and pour into other people.

Gypsy Waltz has changed so much about my life. It has given me confidence, purpose, friendships, and a community that I am endlessly grateful for. It has taught me to trust God’s timing and to remember that sometimes His biggest blessings begin as opportunities we never expected.

Gypsy Waltz will always hold such a special place in my heart because it is so much more than where I work or where I teach Rowlates. It is a part of my story, and I truly believe God knew exactly what He was doing when He brought me here.

Outside of Gypsy, I love staying active, traveling, spending time with my friends and family, and meeting new people.
