From Not Fitting In to Finding Flow

The Story of Dreaming Tree Yoga

 

Dreaming Tree Yoga began long before the doors officially opened. It started when Dr. Jess Fuda Daddio was told she didn’t fit in, that her way of teaching yoga didn’t belong in a studio. Her classes were different: bold, expressive, emotional, and always set to music. But what made her unique was exactly what her community needed.

 

With the encouragement of students who found something special in her style, Jess decided to embrace not fitting in. She leaned into her love of music and movement, and that summer became a turning point. A season filled with pop-up classes all over Erie, where people came together to move, sweat, laugh, and connect through rhythm and flow. Those pop-ups, pulsing with music and love, became the heartbeat of what would grow into Dreaming Tree Yoga and her signature style, Fuda Flow.

Offerings

Today, Dreaming Tree Yoga is Erie’s home for Hot Power Vinyasa Yoga and creative, music-driven movement. The studio offers classes for every body and every mood, including:

• Fuda Flow – A powerful, expressive vinyasa blending rhythm, emotion, and breath.

• Fuda Sculpt – A strength-based, high-energy class combining yoga, weights, and music designed to build confidence, endurance, and empowerment.

• Hot Power Yoga – A dynamic, heated practice that challenges and uplifts.

• Warm Basics – A foundational flow focused on alignment, breath, and mindful movement.

• Yin Yoga – A grounding, meditative practice inviting stillness and release.

• Inside Flow – A choreographed vinyasa set to music, where we move together as one.

 

But Dreaming Tree Yoga is more than a studio, it’s a school of yoga and a growing community of heart-led teachers and students. We are proudly recognized as a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School (RYS 200), offering a 200-hour Power Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Program that honors tradition while embracing creativity, community, and modern movement.

 

Beyond the studio, our Dreaming Tree Yoga Retreats invite students to explore yoga in breathtaking destinations from the mountains of Colorado to the shores of Tulum. These experiences combine flow, mindfulness, and adventure, offering a chance to reconnect to yourself and to the beauty of the world around you.

 

From the Heart

Dreaming Tree Yoga is made possible by an incredible teaching team that brings passion, knowledge, and heart to every class. Each instructor shares their own unique voice and energy, creating a space that feels alive, inclusive, and inspiring. Jess often says she could brag about them all day because they are the reason the studio feels like home.

​

Behind the scenes, none of it would shine quite the same without the unwavering support of her husband, Tae Daddio. Tae is there in the early mornings, making sure the studio is in perfect shape and finding new ways to make it the most beautiful, welcoming space for everyone who walks through the door. His quiet dedication and care are part of the magic that makes Dreaming Tree Yoga what it is.

 

And to the Erie community, thank you. You turned a story of not fitting in into a movement of belonging. You helped shape this dream into something real, something alive.

 

At Dreaming Tree Yoga, we believe yoga isn’t about fitting in, it’s about showing up as you are, breathing deeply, and finding freedom through flow. Whether you join us for class, embark on teacher training, or travel with us on retreat, you’ll find a space that celebrates individuality, authenticity, music, and the magic of community.
