Rich Pascalli
Yoga Instructor
My path to yoga started in 2015. I was battling health issues, and overwhelmed with stress. I’ve been tough on my body with poor life choices and bad eating habits. I noticed when I practice yoga, on those days, I would feel focused, productive, and energized. I was a better me. More and more I was drawn to the mat. In 2016 I went to my first hot yoga class and knew right away that I lOVE THE HEAT. I was hooked!!
In 2017, I met Laura Tyree at Hot Yoga Om and soon after started the Dragonfly 200 hr YTT program and graduated in 2018. I am beyond grateful for Laura Tyree’s guidance and mentoring. I feel blessed to learn from other amazing teachers in the area as well. Hot yoga has played a huge part in me being a better husband, and father. It has helped me become more spiritual, overcome life’s struggles, and an all around healthier, happier person. Every day I am honored to share my passion of yoga through teaching.
Nicole Markel
Yoga Instructor
Nicole took her first yoga class while in college, and fully committed to her practice in 2014. Initially drawn to the physical workout, she quickly realized that a dedicated practice was helping her grow stronger, more open, and more courageous, both on and off her mat. Yoga taught her how to be still and became her place to find peace.
Inspired to share the many gifts she has received from this practice with others, Nicole completed her 200 hour training at Baptiste Power Yoga Nashville (formerly emPower School of Yoga). She is honored to teach at Hot Yoga Om, and can’t wait to share her love of yoga with you!
Amy Quarrier
Yoga Instructor
Practicing yoga has improved my health, relationships and overall well being. I’ve been practicing since 2003 & completed my teacher training in 2020. I had no idea what a transitional year it would be. Being in a class, feeling the collective energy & flowing with that vibe is one of my absolute favorite things. Whether it’s playful & chatty or everyone drops in and you feel that sacred connection as the room moves and breathes- yoga is so many things, all of them beautiful.
Jen Zimmermann
Yoga Instructor
Jen Zimmermann is a lover of yoga, astrology and learning new things. She lived 45 years in snow country so is really happy to be on the Emerald Coast. When not reading the stars or being surprised by Florida bugs, she’s perfecting her eggplant parmesan which she hopes to one day beat Bobby Flay with.
” Yoga helped me uncover a self confidence and love of creativity that was hidden for many, many years. I can’t wait to meet you on the mat to see what gift it unveils for you! ”
Jen Luke
Yoga Instructor
Jen began her yoga journey when she started practicing in 2007. She took her teacher training in Indianapolis with Nikki Myers and Karen Fox at The Yoga Studio and, in 2014, she became a Yoga Alliance certified RYT. She has a vast knowledge of many styles of practice, including the asanas, meditation, and pranyama.
Jovonna Zuppa
Yoga Instructor
Jo took her first yoga class at our sister studio in 2004 at 7 years old and has been captivated by the practice ever since. In 2016 she completed her 200hr teacher training under master guru Laura Tyree and hopes to further her education in the eight limb path, reiki, and ayruveda in the years to come.
Jo’s practice and teaching incorperates her love for holistic healing with tools like hand mudras and essenial oils. Because of her life-long passion for music, her classes feature a wide variety of bineral beats, healing frequencies, and sanskrit mantra chanting. She always encourages practicing self love and discovery in every posture by
honoring right where you are in the moment and, in doing so, hopes to influence healing in not only the body, but the mind and spirit as well.
Join her on the mat for everything from empowering arm balances and inversions to relaxing restorative flow.

Happy Students
I love this hot yoga studio. All of the instructors are caring, dynamic and clear- they all have their own unique style, too, which allows you to get the most out of the different yoga classes if you attend regularly. These classes have helped me on many levels, and I feel like my yoga practice has become easier to do and deeper since attending at the Hot Yoga Om Studio on a semi-regular basis.

Great yoga studio to find your center mentally and physically! No better way to clear your mind after a hard day at work! The exercise will also help you go to bed a whole lot easier.
