Meet The Blue Pearl Partners

Paula Bianchi
Owner/Partner & Teaches Hatha Yoga
Paula has been practicing yoga for 25 years and teaching since 2009. Her practice has evolved over this time and continues to change, being inspired by her teachers and her ever changing body with the lessons that it brings. Yoga has helped Paula to be more steady in both body and mind and she wishes the same for her students. Paula is now a partner/owner at the studio.

Denise Glidden
Owner/Partner & Teaches Vinyasa & Yin Yoga
Denise practiced yoga for years by following along to DVD instructors before finding her way to Blue Pearl Yoga. She has always made room for fitness in the midst of her busy life, prior to retirement as a Health & Family Consumer Science teacher, and enjoys walking/running, biking and cross country skiing but yoga - and the opportunity to stretch and strengthen the body, holds particular interest. Denise is now a partner/owner at the studio.
Lisa Ingalsbe
Owner/Partner & Teaches Vinyasa & Hatha Yoga, Reiki Practitioner
Lisa committed to a consistent yoga practice after knee surgery and it was nothing short of life-changing. Initially she used yoga as a tool for her own self-care journey; now she uses these same tools to encourage her students to hold a sacred space for themselves. She has long called Blue Pearl Yoga "home" and began teaching in 2019 and is now a partner/owner at the studio.
