About Us
Our Story
Michaela Moran
Ace CPT, CYT, ACE CHC
Co-owner, Yoyogi Fitness & Yoga
Yoyogi Fitness & Yoga was created by co-founders Michaela Moran and Joshua Damaso to bring a fresh, vibrant fitness and yoga experience to New Hampshire. Drawing from their backgrounds as yoga instructors and ACE-certified personal trainers, they’ve combined the dynamic energy of cities like Denver, Austin, and Boston with a welcoming, community-focused atmosphere.
The name “Yoyogi” was inspired by Josh’s 2019 trip to Japan, where he stumbled upon Tokyo’s Yoyogi neighborhood while searching for a yoga studio. Translating loosely to “generations of trees,” Yoyogi symbolizes growth, connection, and resilience - a perfect fit for a studio dedicated to building a thriving community.
With experience in some of the country’s most competitive yoga and fitness markets, Michaela, Josh, and the entire Yoyogi team offer classes that blend strength training with the mindfulness of yoga, always prioritizing safety, intention, and growth.
What Sets Us Apart
Big energy, a contemporary vibe, and a focus on meaningful instruction. From heated power vinyasa to yoga sculpt, barre and Pilates-inspired classes, and restorative recovery sessions, our offerings are designed for every stage of your fitness and wellness journey. We thrive on creating a space where movement is intentional, progress is celebrated, and community is at the heart of everything we do.
We’re not just about classes - we’re about connection, inspiration, and growth. We’re here to bring the best of fitness and yoga to southern New Hampshire while staying rooted in the values that brought us here.
Welcome - let’s grow together!
