Introducing: Caylin Henderson and Brooke Hall

Off the bike and over on the mat, we caught up with our newest Yoga Sculpt Instructor, Brooke, and Power Yoga Flow Instructor, Caylin Henderson. Brooke has been training for the past month under our very own, Nicola! You might have taken a duo class with Nicola & Brooke, but now, we are excited to officially introduce Brooke to our community. Caylin comes to Rêve with years of experience teaching yoga at studios here in Portland and prior to that, Austin, Texas! We sat down with Brooke and Caylin to get to know a little bit more about them and what you can expect from their classes!

When did you start coming to Rêve?

BH: I started coming to Rêve in February 2021 and am forever grateful for my spin queen, Maddie, who brought me to Nicola’s bff sculpt class; I’ve been obsessed ever since!

CH: I'm actually new to Rêve! I hadn't been to a cycling class since before the pandemic, and when I met Amber at one of my yoga classes, she inspired me to jump back into the community. So stoked to be here!

Where can we find you outside of Rêve?

BH: Outside of Rêve, I’m studying Sociology & Anthropology at USM with a focus in Women's Rights and Education. I’m also a nanny after recently leaving bartending at the press hotel! I love going to the gym and working some of Nicola’s favorite combo moves into my workouts. I also enjoy eating out, painting, collaging, hiking, going to the beach, and hanging out with friends, my cat Brodie, and binge watching crime docs and psychological thrillers with my boyfriend.

CH: When I'm not teaching yoga, you can find me doing a variety of different activities! I love to explore on day trips, take pottery classes, dance around at concerts, or binge watching Survivor at home. I'm also working full-time in the brewery industry as a Marketing Manager which is always keeping me busy!

What can people expect from your classes?

BH: People can expect a fast paced, but well rounded full body workout! I love putting an extra focus on core and glutes - cardio will never be a main focus. Rêvers can expect an athletic element to my class that will leave you feeling strong, motivated, and maybe a little sore. I have a passion for playlist making and am really excited to curate fun and energetic playlists with a range of different genres to get everyone pumped up and engaged!

CH: I love having fun in my classes. We'll laugh, flow to good music, and I always encourage students to get creative. My flow is a mixture of both traditional sun salutations and a sequence that we'll build together that encourages breath to movement. We'll not only flow through the asanas, but we'll also mix in core work and strengthening!

Brooke is on the mat each Wednesday and Friday at 7:00 am and Caylin is on the schedule each Tuesday at 5:30 pm starting 12/20! Join Brooke and Caylin each week on the mat, give them a follow on Instagram, and make sure to check out their Spotify playlists, too. Welcome to the Rêve team, Brooke and Caylin!
