I’m so happy you found me, yogi! My name is Aimee DeRoehn. I’m a longtime Vinyasa flow Teacher, Master Reiki Healer/Teacher, and Intuitive Life/Trauma coach.

Even after 20 yrs of teaching yoga, I still come alive teaching a down dog. I cheer students on like no other. I want you to feel good about yourself- On and off the mat.

Ironically, my own way to yoga didn’t come naturally or easily. I was the last kid picked in gym class, super uncoordinated, awkward, and socially intimidated by group fitness. I thought exercise and fitness might be for everyone BUT me. As a teen, I found a connection to Tae-Kwon-Do, & later, I found “home” in weight training, running, and boxing. Indeed, I struggled with the lat-pulldown bar, but in time squatted 400lbs, aced a speed bag, and ran miles twice daily. Until the day I couldn’t. Life changing events took me down. I felt lost & to overwhelmed to know how to navigate. Far worse, I couldn’t exercise. All that strength and empowerment didn’t seem to match grief, exhaustion, & deep vulnerability. I couldn’t shrug off, bounce back, or bench press my way out of such pain.

Desperate to move and calm my anxious mind, I crawled to a yoga mat. I knew absolutely nothing about it, but I felt slightly better. I kept practicing. I made my mat my discipline, a foundation even as my world kept coming apart. I began to put myself back together inside.

I made yoga a daily practice & eventually, my way back. I didn’t just change physically. I found the strength and courage to go within and examine how yoga could assist PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, and panic. I grieved a lot. I also began coaching myself through each day, wrote myself a guide, read & researched all I could on yoga, long before training and teaching with the best of THE best. My children were my WHY in all of that time, & kept me anchored to a yoga journey of self-healing that gave me access not only to strength, flexibility, but a new narrative. It brought me real healing, broader perspective, self-compassion, deeper insights, and wisdom in what began from only pain.

Through yoga, I came to know genuine joy, hope, and a real belly laugh with my kids at the dinner table. My path helped me to know it started with me but was meant for many. I learned my callings & original story only filled me with unique depth as a teacher.

It makes teaching YOU next level sacred, & more humbling!! Blessed to train with Baron Baptiste & the BPYI team, Seane Corn, and Phoenix Rising. Only doubly blessed to find refuge in the heart, & teachings of Claire Este McDonald, Brandon Compagnone, and Seane Corn & encouraged to uncover my own voice and style.

When I am not teaching, I just like to be with my family the absolute most & with my first new grandchildren. I hope my yoga, meditations and Reiki are where you too can find a refuge for your human spirit & fill your own cup. Come simply to just breathe easier, move your body, be inspired, and kinder to yourself. Then, return to your world just a little better than I found you & bring your “good self” back to others.

Frank’s passion for health, fitness, and self-improvement began at the age of 13, inspired by watching his mother perform chair exercises with Jack LaLanne on TV. As a young, undersized kid, he was determined to get stronger for football and to stand up to his bullies. His journey led him to study Okinawan Uechi Ryu Karate, develop boxing skills at the West End Gym, and explore wrestling. His natural athleticism was recognized in high school when he was scouted for the gymnastics team after performing multiple front handsprings and flips. Along the way, he gained experience through wrestling during his time working at the DPW in Tewksbury, MA.

Frank’s deep knowledge of physical improvement is rooted in years of independent research and hands-on experience. After being inspired by his father’s treatment for a chronic back condition (which Frank inherited) and learning the benefits of spinal manipulation and alignment, he became a Physical Therapy Assistant. Despite Frank being told he’d never lift more than 35lbs and would need a walker by age 55, Frank defied the odds and, at age 60, performed an iron cross on gymnastic rings. His education includes studies at UMass Lowell, Northern Essex Community College, and Castle College, but he credits his expertise to real-world application and a belief in testing techniques on himself before sharing them with others.

Frank’s training journey took him to Southern California, where he trained at the original Gold’s Gym in Venice Beach, learning from legendary bodybuilders like Mike Mentzer and Robbie Robinson. After returning home, he competed in a National Invitational Powerlifting Meet, earning second place in the 181lb division without a coach or performance-enhancing drugs. Later in life, Frank embraced distance running, completing several races, including the Sandown 10k and Danielle 4-Mile, to improve his health. A lifelong learner, Frank continues to study various training methods, believing that “what’s old is new, and what’s new is old.” If you’re looking for a personalized fitness program designed specifically for you, Frank is committed to helping you achieve your goals!

Fitness has been a passion of mine for many years. From playing sports throughout school, to diving into strength training, running my own studio, and eventually becoming a kickboxing trainer.

I’ve always found new ways to challenge myself. Fitness has not only helped me grow physically, but it’s also been a powerful mental outlet. There’s truly nothing like the feeling after a great workout – it enhances the good days and makes the tough ones a little easier to handle.

Being a trainer is incredibly fulfilling. Watching my clients hit goals they once thought were impossible and seeing them grow stronger with each session is one of the most rewarding parts of my job.
