Felicia White
INSTRUCTOR
Danville
Classes: Chill Yoga Flow
-
A Massachusetts native, I moved to VT in 2015 to the quaint town of Peacham. I enjoy all things nature, whether its hiking, forest bathing, or outdoor picnics! I have always had a feeling deep down that I wanted to help people but I was not sure how that would show up for me. In 2016, I discovered the practice of yoga. Yoga helped me on my personal healing journey. I completed my 200 hour YTT with Andrea Thibodeau at Heart Space Yoga in St. Johnsbury, VT. I am also certified by the Love Your Brain Foundation to teach yoga for those affected by Traumatic Brain Injury and a Holistic Health Coach through Institute of Integrative Nutrition. Throughout the years, yoga has helped me peel back the layers of myself and discover what truly aligns with my heart. I am currently studying Behavioral Science at CCV with the goal of becoming a couples therapist, using yoga as part of my therapy practice.

I love barre – the perfect mix of movement, music, and strength. After 10 years as a dedicated student, I got certified at my favorite studio in East Boston.

Meg Brown
INSTRUCTOR
Littleton
Classes: MOBS (mobility + stability)
-
Meg never expected “fitness instructor” to land on her bingo card. In fact, she never expected to find herself taking fitness classes.
Though she designed the Studium Fitness website back in 2018, it took the 2023 Studium rebrand to inspire her to enroll in a class. And she’s been consistent ever since.
Her favorite way to find balance and reduce post-class soreness? MOBS.
Meg soon developed a passion for our signature mobility and stability class and is now our MOBS instructor.
MOBS with Meg emphasizes muscle recovery with a focus on movements that will help our bodies maintain mobility as we age.
When she’s not teaching or taking classes at Studium, she designs websites and teaches aspiring entrepreneurs how to go from side hustler to self-employed through her business, Miss MegaBug.
She loves cruising in her powder blue convertible VW bug, snuggling cats Guinevere and Sonny Mittens, roller/ice skating, reading lots of books, and traveling with her husband, Shelby.
