Alex Howlett
founder, yoga instructor
Alex began practicing yoga in 2010. After yoga had life-changing results in helping her manage depression, anxiety, and PTSD in her early 20s, she knew she had to share this beautiful and powerful practice with others.
She enrolled in a 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2014 and completed the certification program in 2015. She has been teaching yoga in Somerset, PA since then.
Prior to yoga, Alex studied dance for 14 years. She believes in movement as medicine and enjoys creative class sequencing. You can often find her listening to music and trying to make the perfect playlists for her classes.
In January 2018, Alex opened Mystic Moonlight Yoga. It is her hope to continue to grow a thriving community of yogis who always feel welcome and at home inside the studio.
In 2022, Alex moved from PA to West Virginia where she works full time as a tattoo artist. While she no longer teaches as many classes in Somerset County as she did in previous years, she continues to run Mystic Moonlight Yoga with the help of Mystic Moonlight Yoga’s other wonderful teachers, Cyndy and Bobbie.

Bobbie Kozuch
yoga + pilates instructor
Bobbie found her interest in yoga early on in life as a peaceful personal practice. Over the years she became more aware that yoga is not just a physical practice of flexibility and asanas, but an ongoing practice to find oneself, to live in the very moment in time and place on or off the mat.
She feels very honored to share her love of yoga with her students, offering different styles of the yoga practice including Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga and a fusion class of Yoga/Pilates.
Bobbie is grateful for the loving people that have come into her life within the yoga community. Every day is an experience of love and happiness.
She sends her love and light to you. “Namaste.”
