Kay Dover
Studio Co-Founder & Director
Certified Bikram Yoga Instructor
Step into Kay's class for joyful instruction with useful tips and motivational "fun facts" along the way. Before becoming a Bikram yoga instructor, she was a Montessori teacher, an English teacher, a wildland firefighter, and a student of dance and language.
Kay's background in education feeds her approach to teaching yoga, which is to provide accurate instruction of technique while holding a loving space for students to have their struggles and celebrate their success.
Kay has been practicing Bikram yoga since 2005 and teaching since 2013. She practiced Rajashree's Pregnancy Yoga 5-6 days a week in the hot room while expecting each of her two children, and credits her smooth pregnancies, deliveries and post-partum healing to her regular yoga practice and the health it helps her maintain.
Building a Bikram yoga school has always been a dream of Kay's, and she's super excited to share her favorite wellness activity with her favorite neighborhood: St. Johns.

Stacy Perrault
Studio Assistant - Social Media
You can find Stacy checking you in and cheering you on at the front desk, keeping the studio super duper clean, or writing insightful blog posts on our blog. You can also definitely find her in class - often with her husband for a "yoga date" whether in-person, or online. Stacy is a mom of 3 young kids, and finding community and outlet here at Home has been a great addition to her life. As a life-long athlete from playing sports as a kid, to more competitively soccer in her older youth, to competing at the collegiate level in track & field, Stacy says, "Bikram Yoga is a constant challenge to my brain to learn new things - a never ending unraveling of old athlete habits and posture. From how to breath to locking my knees, to being at peace with what my body can do today, and celebrating the wins of growing in different postures week by week, I'm always learning something new and gaining something new each time I practice."
