Annie Bugeau

8-Limb Power Yoga, Power Lift & Flow, Intermediate Yoga Instructor

After many years of teaching in the fitness world, being a mom, and practicing yoga on her own at home, Annie ventured into Burning Wheel Yoga School one day and was quickly hooked! It was such a different experience to practice in person with other students. In the beginning, she couldn’t believe how challenging it was physically and mentally, but every time she left class, she felt better…about everything! And so she kept coming back.

Annie began to learn that yoga is a philosophy and a way of living, not just an exercise routine, and this is what has made it truly transformational for her. She decided to pursue her Yoga Teacher training in 2019 with Jordan Lashley and has been teaching at Burning Wheel since graduating.

Annie’s class is energetic and powerful, offering challenging postural sequences focused on building strength and flexibility inside and out. It is a balanced, mindful, full-being workout. With fun music and guided meditations, she focuses on incorporating present-moment training with themes of self-awareness, empowerment, patience, compassion, courage, and, most importantly, connection to our awesome community!

Geoff Charron

8-Limb Power Yoga Instructor, Burning Wheel YTT Graduate

Geoff Charron has been practicing yoga for over 15 years at various studios throughout the metro-Boston area.

He originally came to yoga to balance the physical demands of weightlifting and high-intensity interval training. Through consistent practice, he discovered that yoga not only helped heal his body but also strengthened his nervous system and supported him in navigating life’s many challenges, including a career in technology leadership.

In 2024, Geoff found his way to Burning Wheel Yoga School, where he discovered a studio that teaches and practices all aspects of yoga. Inspired by this holistic approach, he enrolled in the 200-hour teacher training with Jordan and Monique, deepening his understanding of yoga as a way of life beyond the physical practice.

Geoff’s interpretation of the 8-Limb Power Yoga class emphasizes steady breath regulation as you move through progressively more challenging postures. He believes strongly in establishing proper alignment before going deeper into a pose. His classes move at a thoughtful pace, with detailed alignment cues that make them especially supportive for beginner and intermediate students.

Jeff Hyman

8-Limb Power Yoga & Power Hour Instructor

Jeff has been practicing yoga since 2005, drawn to the way movement, breath, and community can steady a busy mind and bring awareness. He recently completed 200-hour teacher training at the Burning Wheel Yoga School, deepening a long-held belief that yoga is a grounding, accessible practice that everyone should experience.

His love of the living earth led him to train as a Mindful Outdoor Guide through the Kripalu School of Mindful Outdoor Leadership in 2019, where he studied the Japanese practice of Shinrin Yoku (Forest Bathing).

Jeff is the founder of Forest Rhythm LLC, a wellness practice that guides individuals in moving meditation outside in the Living Earth. Whether in the woods or on the mat, Jeff is most comfortable helping people slow down, reconnect with breath, and notice what’s already here.

A Massachusetts native with a background in Environment, Health, Safety, and Sustainability, Jeff has spent years supporting teams and organizations with clarity, care, and a sense of humor. He brings that same spirit to his yoga classes with real-world experience, curiosity, and a lightness that reminds students not to take themselves too seriously.

Outside the studio, Jeff is a drummer, snowboarder, drum circle facilitator, motorcycle enthusiast, writer, and documentary filmmaker. He cowrote The Players Guide to the Massachusetts State Lottery and holds a U.S. patent, demonstrating that he’s happiest when creating, exploring, or building something that didn’t exist before. Jeff welcomes the Burning Wheel community and beyond to the studio to reconnect, breathe, and notice.

Margo Macfarlane

8-Limb Power Yoga & Workshop Instructor

My yoga journey began over two decades ago when I stumbled upon a class at a local gym. From the moment I stepped onto my mat and started to move my body, I experienced a profound shift. I learned to slow down, breathe, and move with intention and discovered greater equilibrium in my life. While practicing as a Physician Assistant in adult medicine, I felt a calling to merge my medical expertise with my passion for yoga. I wanted to provide a safe space where individuals navigating their changing bodies—whether due to illness, aging, or life's inevitable shifts—could find solace and empowerment through yoga and mindfulness practices. In 2014, I completed my 200-hour teacher training at HYP Studio in Needham.

My teaching philosophy is rooted in compassion and inclusivity. I strive to create a nurturing environment where every student feels embraced and supported on their journey of self-discovery through movement, breath, and mindfulness. Together, let's explore the boundless potential of yoga and mindfulness and uncover the profound sense of peace and vitality they can bring to our lives.
