About Yoga with Goldens

I’m Winter — yoga teacher, wellness guide, creative dreamer, and founder of Yoga with Goldens. I live and work in Maine, where my life is equal parts sunrise rituals, cozy layers, soulful movement, and golden retriever fur woven into everything I own.

I created Yoga with Goldens as more than a brand. It’s a sanctuary — a place where whole-being wellness meets grounded ritual. Where the breath matters as much as the movement, and joy, softness, and animal connection are part of the healing process. You don’t need to own a dog to be here (though mine — Boomer, Eli, and Mollie — are always nearby, reminding me to stretch, play, and nap when needed). You just need to want more space to feel like yourself again.

My background is rooted in yoga, massage therapy, and holistic wellness. I specialize in slow, accessible, intentional movement; meditative practices that meet you where you are; and tools for living softer in a world that rarely invites it. Whether you’re moving through a soulful yoga flow, lighting a candle for your evening ritual, or simply taking a deep breath with your pup curled at your feet — everything I share is designed to help you reconnect with your body, your rhythm, and your peace.

You’ll find me teaching in studio and online, guiding retreats, co-creating wellness boxes and rituals, writing children's stories about mindfulness, and offering 1:1 coaching sessions for those ready to redefine what wellness means on their terms. It’s a wild, magical blend — and it’s all offered with heart.

Yoga with Goldens is for the seekers, the burned-out, the dog lovers (cat too!), the dreamers, the ones who crave less hustle and more softness.

Welcome to the pack.

About Boomer
Boomer is the chillest member of the pack, a true expert in the art of relaxation. With his soulful eyes and laid-back demeanor, he’s happiest when lounging at home, surrounded by his family. Boomer’s idea of a perfect day? A cozy nap, deep breaths of fresh air, and maybe a few belly rubs if he’s lucky.

As the most relaxed of the bunch, Boomer is the ultimate role model when it comes to embracing the present moment and letting go of stress. He’s here to remind us all that sometimes, the best thing we can do for our well-being is simply to relax, breathe deeply, and enjoy life’s little pleasures—like a good snuggle or a long stretch on the yoga mat.

Boomer is always ready to hang out and offer some zen vibes, proving that you don’t need to be running around to be happy—sometimes, the best moments are found in stillness.

About Eli


Eli is the ball of energy you never knew you needed in your life! Full of enthusiasm, playfulness, and boundless go-go-go spirit, Eli’s favorite things include chasing balls, exploring the great outdoors, and keeping everyone on their toes with his endless zest for life. Whether it’s a game of fetch or running around with his pack, Eli brings a spark of joy and excitement to every moment.

But don’t let his high-energy persona fool you—at the end of the day, Eli knows the true value of a good snuggle. After all that running around, his only mission is to curl up with his family, enjoy some well-deserved rest, and recharge for tomorrow’s adventures. Eli teaches us the perfect balance of action and relaxation: work hard, play hard, and always make time for a little rest and rejuvenation.

About Mollie

Mollie is the youngest of the bunch, and she brings all the spunk, sass, and playful energy you could ever ask for! She’s the queen of rough-housing with her brothers, always ready to initiate a game of chase or wrestling match—but when the fun winds down, she transforms into the ultimate chill yogi.

With her sweet, gentle personality, Mollie is a perfect balance of playful spirit and serene calm. After all the fun and frolic, you’ll find her curled up in a cozy spot, peacefully unwinding, her calm energy contagious to everyone around her. Mollie shows us that it’s possible to have a lot of fun and still be the embodiment of zen—reminding us all that play and relaxation go hand-in-hand.

She’s proof that you can be a bundle of energy and still be a true embodiment of inner peace, with a little extra puppy love thrown in for good measure!
