Get ready for a whole new way to workout
Yoga Centered is excited to offer the Lagree Method as a new opportunity to find the best version of you. Strength, mobility, endurance…and a different way to approach that mind-body connection. Lagree has it all and is the perfect complement to what Yoga Centered has always offered…authentic, sustainable fitness, taught with compassion and heart.
What is Lagree?
The Lagree Method is a high-intensity, low-impact fitness workout that combines strength training, cardio, core stability, and endurance into one efficient session. It is performed on a specialized machine and at Yoga Centered we will be using the Microformer. It uses spring-based resistance and slow, controlled movements to work muscles to the point of fatigue for an amazing body transformation. Overall, Lagree is praised for being safe, intense, and results-driven, especially for those seeking lean muscle tone and core strength without the high impact of traditional high-intensity workouts.
Certified Instruction
The Lagree method is such an awesome fitness program, and it’s super important to have certified Lagree instructors leading the way to keep it safe and effective. We’re thrilled to kick off our new Lagree program by welcoming some amazing guest teachers who each bring their own special flair and insights. This means our students get to experience a diverse and exciting introduction to Lagree’s magic before we settle into a more consistent team. Plus, we’ve got plans to certify more instructors soon!

Owner of Yoga Centered | Certified Lagree Instructor
Perceptive, wildly passionate, and deeply rooted in presence, Molly brings a rare blend of determination, joy, and authenticity to everything she teaches. As the owner of Yoga Centered, she has spent more than two decades honing a teaching style that is both focused and intuitive—an alchemy of effort and surrender that helps students access their deepest layers of awareness, strength, and ease.
While the core of Molly’s teaching has long been alignment-based flow and restorative yoga, her work is guided by a profound therapeutic intelligence that infuses all she offers—from public classes and workshops to private sessions and her renowned teacher training programs. Ultimately, she considers herself a lifelong student, continually drawing inspiration from nature, from the world around her, and especially from her son, Reef.
In 2025, Molly unexpectedly stepped into a Lagree class on Oʻahu, and everything changed. It was love at first elevator lunge. Her body felt stronger, more supported, and more capable than ever before. She immediately knew Lagree belonged at Yoga Centered—its slow, controlled, precise, breath-guided method a perfect complement to yoga and the embodiment of mindful strength.
Having “done all the things” over the years—CrossFit, HIIT, Barre, Pilates, TRX, running—Molly had never experienced anything like Lagree. The practice gave her sustainable weight loss, major muscle gains, profound recovery, relief from chronic pain, and a level of empowerment and resilience that ripples into every part of her life. Lagree became her ritual, her reset, and her reminder that she can do hard things.
Today, Molly trains six days a week and is proudly certified under Master Trainer Haley Speier, whose mentorship reshaped her understanding of strength, alignment, and intentional movement. She now brings the same care, intelligence, humor, and heart to every Lagree class she teaches at Yoga Centered.
Molly is honored to guide others through practices that have transformed her life—body, mind, and spirit. Whether on the mat or the microformer, her deepest hope is to inspire others to discover their own capacity for presence, power, and joy.

Erin has been practicing mindful movement for years — from mat Pilates to reformer to yoga — and has always believed in slow, intentional strength. But the moment she found Lagree, she was sold. The challenge, the precision, the breath, the burn… it all clicked in a way nothing else had.
While managing a chronic knee injury, Erin discovered that Lagree not only supported her healing but made her stronger than ever. The gains in her legs, hips, glutes, and core have been major — and the confidence she regained is priceless. Once told that “Lagree might not be for you,” she’s now driven to prove that Lagree is for everyone — every age, every injury, every background. Expect encouragement, detailed cues, deep core focus, and a whole lot of heart in every class.
Erin’s love for mindful movement also shines through her yoga practice. As a mother of four daughters and a proud grandmother, she deeply understands the importance of nurturing both body and mind. She embraces yoga not just as a physical discipline but as a source of mental clarity, emotional grounding, and self-care. Having lived between the serene landscapes of Hawai‘i and the vibrant energy of Japan, Erin infuses her teaching with a rich cultural perspective and a sense of grounded presence.
Since 2012, Erin has been part of the Yoga Centered ‘ohana and completed her 200-hour teacher training under Molly’s guidance in 2023. Whether you meet her on the Megaformer or the mat, Erin invites you into a transformative practice built on strength, grace, breath, and resilience.

Raised in magical Kalapana, Srita loves Hawai’i with all her heart. She has operated her thriving aesthetics practice in Hilo since 2006 and continues to make others look and feel radiant inside and out.
