Meet the Instructors

Becca Thomas

Becca (RYT-200) fell in love with yoga after a friend coaxed her to class with the promise of happy hour afterwards in 2014. She left dripping in sweat, sore, and confused, but knew she was hooked. The physicality of yoga kept her coming back, but Becca realized yoga is so much more than the physical practice--yoga cultivated inner peace, strength and community. Students can expect thoughtfully sequenced flows drawn from Becca’s own practice and study of Power and Rocket Vinyasa yoga. Her down to earth, compassionate, and friendly teaching style allows students to meet themselves on their mat, with whatever they are feeling, and find their edge in a fun, don’t-take-yourself-too-seriously, safe space.

Brendan McCarthy

Yoga has been a part of Brendan’s daily life since 2013. Initially, his lifelong pursuit of various Martial Arts brought him to the idea of yoga as a way of furthering his practice. In the process, he discovered that the practice of yoga brought immense benefits to his life. Brendan’s love of yoga sparked a desire to teach and share these benefits with others. Brendan completed and received his RYT-200 yoga instructor training at ExtendYoga in Rockville in 2018. He has also been a climber at Earth Treks since the summer of 2014 and is proud to be a part of its community. He regularly practices a vigorous style of yoga involving dynamic poses and creative sequences, which influences his approach to teaching at Earth Treks.

Leslie Tomlinson

All Levels Vinyasa

Vinyasa Flow/Power Flow Yoga is a moving mediation that links asanas with the flow of the breath, music and mantra. A steady paced class, yogis build heart, endurance, flexibility and strength that lead to inner stillness. Our classes offer the yogis an opportunity to personalize the practice by adjusting the sequence so that it feels safe and good in their bodies.

All Levels Power Flow

Power Flow Yoga offers a one breath per movement, continuous flow that’s challenging and energetic. These classes explore a variety of sequences, variations and transitions and offer the yogis an opportunity to personalize the practice by adjusting the sequence so it feels safe and good in their bodies.

Rocket Yoga

Rocket is a physically demanding style of yoga that re-sequences the disciplined Ashtanga yoga system into a playful, energetic practice. Developed by Larry Schultz in the 80s and credited as the original power yoga, each sequence begins with sun salutations and standing postures and then progresses quickly into creatively-linked arm balances, inversions and seated postures. Rocket Yoga was named by Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead, who said “It gets you there faster!"

Slow Flow

Unwind from your day as you move fluidly through poses to relieve tension in the mind and body. Our slow flow practice will provide poses that range from gentle to challenging, done with stable, centering energy. This moving meditative practice will provide you with mindfulness of action and awareness of breathing.

Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga is 60 minutes of pure TLC for your body, tapping into your deep connective tissues, ligaments, tendons and fascia through passive stretching. Each class offers a series of poses held for a considerable length of time to allow for complete and passive release. A zen playlist that vary per instructor with that same great community vibe every time. Please bring layers to class as yin tends to cool the body.

Learn simple techniques to clear your mind, reduce stress and improve focus in this all-levels class. We will use a variety of tools including mantras, guided visualizations, sound and more to make this practice work for you.
