Angela Weymouth
Angela Weymouth is a Maine native, lifelong seeker of consciousness, and the owner of Maine Hatha Yoga. Her path to yoga began in her twenties, born from early struggles that led her to seek healing, growth, and a deeper understanding of self. Through practice, she discovered not only stability, but a way to transform fear and hardship into lasting change.
At just 28, guided by a vision larger than herself, Angela opened Maine Hatha Yoga in South Portland, establishing Maine’s original hot yoga studio. For more than 23 years, she has guided students through therapeutic, deeply healing practices rooted in tradition, consistency, and care.
Over time, Angela witnessed yoga’s capacity to go far beyond physical strength or flexibility. Many students shared that the practice helped them reclaim their lives while navigating addiction recovery, trauma, and profound life transitions. These experiences continue to shape Angela’s belief that yoga is a powerful tool for healing both body and spirit.
Her approach blends far-infrared heat, Bikram Method, Hatha sequencing, and mindful breathwork, creating space for balance, release, and renewal. Angela does not chase trends—her work is guided by lineage, results, and heart. Even while facing her own health challenges in recent years, she remained deeply committed to healing and evolution. Through intuition and lived experience, she incorporated Circular Breathing, expanding the tools she offers for restoring clarity, balance, and hope.
Angela resists the label of teacher, preferring instead to serve as a guide—supporting students as they access the wisdom they already carry. Under her stewardship, Maine Hatha Yoga has grown into more than a studio; it is a community rooted in resilience, accessibility, and transformation, with impact that continues to reach far beyond the hot room.

Rob Halpern
Hi, I’m Rob—a husband, dad, and lifelong yoga enthusiast. I’m a native Philadelphian who moved to Brunswick, Maine in 2022 with my wife, Rinna, and our seven-year-old son, Sigmund.
I fell in love with the Bikram Method after being introduced to the series in Ithaca, New York in 2000, and I’ve been practicing ever since. In 2019, I completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training at Blue Moon Yoga in Fresno, California.
I truly believe one of my purposes in this life is to share the therapeutic practices of yoga with as many people as possible. I’m deeply passionate about teaching and love witnessing the physical, mental, and spiritual benefits that students experience through consistent practice. My hope is that the tools learned on the mat carry into everyday life, supporting greater balance, clarity, and well-being.
When I’m not in the studio sweating, you can usually find me cooking meals, hiking, or making music with my band, Woolgathering.
Amanda Fasnacht
I started my practice in 2009 in Truckee CA as a way to warm up during the winter months. It ended up changing my life. Not only did it make my body feel stronger and more flexible, I also found great communities. After moving to Austin TX in 2010 and joining a studio there, I attended teacher training in 2011 in Los Angeles. I’ve spent the years since practicing and teaching in Austin, Houston and Maine! My favorite posture is camel pose because nothing else makes my back feel so good. I love being able to share my years of experience with others and find joy when they find joy in their practice.
