Doris Hall is a Healing Curator, Reiki Master Teacher, Shamanic Guide, certified Yoga Teacher and Sound Healing Practitioner devoted to creating spaces where people can slow down, soften, remember, and reconnect with their own inner wisdom. Her work is rooted in spiritual practices, yoga teachings, energy healing, and shamanic studies, honoring both the visible and subtle unseen dimensions of healing.

Through immersive sound journeys, heart-centered drumming circles, Yoga Nidra sessions, and ceremonial gatherings, Doris gently weaves rhythm, breath, meditation, and energy awareness to support deep relaxation and balance. Her offerings are designed to help participants ground, listen inwardly, and reconnect with their own innate healing intelligence.

In addition to group experiences, Doris offers regular Reiki sessions and individualized healing experiences. These sessions may weave together intuitive energy work, guided imagery and journeying, spiritual reflection, breathwork, oracle guidance, and other complementary modalities as called forth. Each session unfolds organically, guided by presence, deep listening, and deep trust in the client’s inner knowing.

Drawing from training in the U.S. and abroad, she bridges ancient ceremonial and spiritual practices with contemporary understanding. Her work blends sound, spirit, and embodied awareness - creating nurturing, intentional pathways where insight, inner harmony and transformation can gently emerge.

Gwen’s Yoga Journey stated decades ago while living in Northern California. A dear friend and neighbor brought her to her first class and she was hooked. Returning to Maine in 2015 she found Scarborough Yoga and in May 2017 completed the 200 hour YTT with Scarborough Yoga School. 

Meet Joan

Joan believes yoga doesn't have to be serious to be meaningful. In fact, she has found that the less seriously she takes herself, the deeper the practice becomes. Since beginning yoga in 2008 and completing her teacher training in 2026 with Kristine Keegan at Scarborough Yoga, she has returned to the mat again and again for the opportunity to move, breathe, pay attention, and discover something new.

A longtime mindfulness practitioner, Joan views yoga as a form of moving meditation—a chance to cultivate awareness through the body. She also enjoys facilitating mindfulness practices, including vocal toning, walking meditation, sitting meditation, and loving-kindness meditation. These practices deeply influence her teaching style.

Her classes blend energizing vinyasa flow with moments of mindfulness, laughter, and community. Joan loves creating practices that build strength, confidence, and vitality while also encouraging students to slow down, tune in, and meet themselves with curiosity, compassion, and a sense of humor.

When not practicing yoga, you can find Joan making art, being a bookworm, and playing with her dog Joy.

Meet Kat Raymond, RYT200, Kat has been practicing for 15+ years. She found her way to yoga as a way to navigate everyday stresses with a dedicated practice. Grateful for the multitude of teachers along her journey, Kat looks to bring that learning mindset to her classes. She believes yoga can become something that helps students both on and off the mat through breath work, mind/body awareness and community connection.
