Sangha Yoga was established in August of 2025. We are a community-based studio dedicated to creating a welcoming space where students of all levels can gather, grow, and support one another. Rooted in the meaning of Sangha—community—we believe yoga is more than a physical practice; it is a way to connect mind, body, and spirit while fostering relationships built on respect, compassion, and belonging.
Our mission is to…
…offer high-quality, accessible yoga classes that meet students where they are.
…remain rooted in authenticity, honoring the traditions of yoga while making them relevant for modern life.
…cultivate an inclusive and supportive environment where everyone feels seen and valued.
…nurture community connections that allow each of us to grow strong roots and support one another in blooming into our fullest potential.
…encourage personal growth, mindfulness, and wellness through the wisdom of yoga.
Jessica Fulk
Co-owner
With over eight years of teaching experience and a 500-hour RYT certification, Jessica brings a steady, heartfelt presence to every class. Her teaching is rooted in yoga philosophy, guided by a deep respect for the traditions of the practice, and inspired by the power of slowing down.
A lifelong student of the mind-body connection, Jessica believes yoga is a way of living-on and off the mat. Whether she’s leading a class, spending time with her family, hiking with her kids and dogs, or simply breathing in the fresh air outdoors, she carries the principles of mindfulness and compassion into each moment.
Her classes offer a grounded space to pause, reconnect, and move with intention-welcoming all levels and all bodies. Expect thoughtful sequences, breath awareness, and a gentle reminder that less can truly be more.
When she’s not teaching, you’ll likely find Jessica barefoot in the grass, reading something philosophical, or chasing laughter with her little ones.

Samantha currently serves as a yoga teacher for 7th and 8th graders, teaching mindful yoga. She also volunteers her time at her children’s school, bringing yoga into the classrooms. Her classes are well rounded, utilizing all of the elements of yoga from the philosophies to pranayama, asana to meditation, and more. She enjoys teaching all types of yoga from restorative to power, teaching to the room, and connecting with her students.
When she is not teaching, Samantha can be found playing photographer in her local area, giving tarot readings and making jewelry, oil blends and candles (amongst other crafty things). She believes yoga does not stop off of the mat and hopes to bring the practice of yoga, in its wholeness, into the lives of people she connects with.

Brittany Carteaux
Brittany’s journey into fitness and yoga began as a personal one. What started as a way to navigate her own struggles with mental health, became something that truly changed her life. She is passionate about creating a space where you can move, release, and reconnect with yourself.
Her classes blend strength, sweat, and soul-design to leave you feeling empowered, aligned, and a little lighter. She is currently expanding her knowledge with a prenatal and postnatal exercise certification and hope to add on a Pilates certification in the near future.
She is an ACE-certified personal trainer with a passion for helping others feel strong, grounded, and energized inside and out. With a Bachelor of Science in Health and Wellness Management and a yoga certification earned through college, she brings both knowledge and heart into every class.
When she is not in the studio, she loves being outside in nature, hiking, camping, reading and spending time with her family. Originally from a small town in northern New York, she brings a warm, down to earth energy and good vibes wherever she goes.
