The Team
Julia Reed
Owner of One of A Kind Yoga
Hi! My name is Julia, and I am the founder of One of a Kind Yoga. I'm a Buffalo Native looking to connect with the community in meaningful ways! I am a 200hr RYTT and Reiki certified. After going to school and working as an Occupational Therapy Assistant, I found that I loved helping others in a holistic way but I knew my calling was elsewhere. That's why I started One of A Kind Yoga- This community space we've created allows us to come together and heal the body, mind & soul. With our variety of instructors, classes, and events there's something for everyone!
Emily Bernier
Photographer
​​ Hi, my name is Emily Bernier and I am a portrait photographer from Buffalo, NY! Photography has been a passion of mine since I was 16 years old. I graduated from Alfred University with my BFA in Art and Design and focused on photography throughout my time there. I love capturing a special moment that can last a lifetime and telling stories through creative imagery. I currently work with Bella Baby as a newborn photographer! You may see me around classes or events to capture all the fun!
River Driscoll
Yoga Instructor
I am a queer and nonbinary yogi with a focus on the spiritual aspect of yoga while also tuning in to the physical side by helping your body realign and open up to feel more strong, flexible, and confident. As a practicing Druid, I spend a lot of time connecting with the Earth and teaching grounding and centering skills.
I offer a safe space for those in my community to practice, grow, and thrive. This is a welcoming space for people of all body types, cultures, identities, and experience levels. In my classes I work in themes of spiritual practice related to Druidry (connection to the Earth), and even if this is not your personal way of practicing spirituality, it is my truest belief that our connection to the Earth is one of the most important relationships to have when finding inner peace.
Roxy
Official Yoga Dog
While Roxy doesn't attend classes at One of A Kind Yoga, she makes sure the area is clean and secure before class. She will also be sure to stand guard during class to make sure we're all protected. So if you hear her bark... she's just doing her official duties as yoga dog!
