Haley%27s+Headshot.jpg

Haley

Coach, 200 RYT

Haley started her journey of mindfulness during a transitional time where she found herself disconnected from her mind, body, and the outside world. While yoga served as a good workout in the past, it took on a new, and more grounding role in her life. She started her yoga training with two things in mind: to learn how to practice safer and to be an advocate for her future students. She feels empowered to share this journey because of her firsthand experience and transformation and believes everyone has the right to feel good in his or her unique body.

Haley focuses on sharing alignment practices that have been passed down to her from past teachers, always keeping in mind the link of breath and movement. In her classes, you will have the opportunity to explore each pose and make them uniquely yours. She hopes that you leave her class inspired to return to your mat whether that is in a class or in your own home. She looks up to the people that openly share knowledge and works to create a better tomorrow for the generations to come.


Emily

Coach, RYT 200

Emily strongly believes that the ability to come back to one's breath and move the body in a way that feels authentic, can help you process what's going on in your mind as well as the world around us. She wants students to leave her classes feeling supported and grounded. Emily creates a safe space for students to explore their bodies and teaches them how to take what they’ve learned on the mat and apply it to life.

Emily started practicing yoga about 10 years ago. She began with Anusara yoga and moved on to Vinyasa Flow, Ashtanga, Kundalini, etc, then became enchanted with the practice and wanted to learn everything there is to know. At the time, she was working in tech in the California Bay Area. After 6 years of working in tech, she noticed a recurring thought and couldn’t help but realize that she was being called to do something else.

Her teaching has ranged from adults to elementary and high school students and she has taught in San Francisco, Chicago, and Seattle.


Chelsea

200 hr RYT

Chelsea grew up dancing and has always had an active lifestyle. She wanted to continue her active lifestyle when she moved to Los Angeles from Michigan. That is when she found her love and passion for yoga. After taking her first yoga class, she realized yoga was the mind, body, and spirit challenge she needed in her life. She started her yoga practice over 9 years ago and completed her 200 hour power yoga training spring 2015. She then continued on with her training and completed her 300 hour advanced teacher training with Jason Crandell in 2019.

Chelsea prides herself on teaching a well rounded class that is accessible to everyone. She focuses on creating sequences that are dynamic, anatomically precise with mindful cues for all bodies that live a modern lifestyle.

Whether it is your first time doing yoga or you've been practicing for several years, you'll feel welcomed and loved in Chelsea's classes. Chelsea continues to fall in love with the mental and physical benefits of yoga everyday. She loves being challenged (on and off the mat) and will encourage you to do the same.


Stefani

Mindfulness Meditation Instructor

Stefani is a mindfulness teacher and environmental conservationist who specializes in tuning our minds into the nature we all are; the nature that moves, breathes, changes, and embraces growth and release. She believes that witnessing ourselves as the earth we look in awe at has a profound effect on our overall self-talk, well-being, and presence.

After experiencing many profound changes that required her to tune into her mind, body, and spirit, she found that meditation helped her uncover the power that was within her all along. Meditation is now part of her daily practice, and she has developed a deep passion to share the gift of self-inquiry with those who are looking to uncover their own wisdom.


Alycia

200 HR RYT

Alycia is a lover of the great outdoors, her dog, delicious food, and a good sunset. Her yoga journey started when she was in need of deep spiritual healing, and found that yoga holds space for non-judgement, self-care, and immense growth both on and off the mat.

She stepped out of my comfort zone and enrolled in a 200-hour YTT in Tacoma, WA. During training she realized her deep desire to teach the practices that have made such an impact in her own life. For Alycia, yoga is a place of being, a place of reflection, self-inquiry, and healing. It is a place of exploration, playfulness, and determination. Her intention for every class is to create and hold space for you, as a practitioner, to experience your yoga – whatever that looks like on any given day.


Kassandra

200 HR RYT

Kassandra loves sharing the practice of yoga with her community and sees it as a great way to cultivate connection to one another and ourselves. Passionate about movement, Kassandra’s teachings focus on alignment and breath; helping students to build body awareness, physical strength, and find peace within themselves.

She has a bachelors degree in nutrition/dietetics and has spent the last few years working in school food and nutrition. She has been teaching in Phoenix, Arizona and is excited to be a part of a new environment with trees!

When she’s not on her mat, you can find her hanging out with her dogs, Aaron Rogers & Wookie, kayaking down the river, or playing in her garden.


Elinor

200 HR RYT

Elinor discovered yoga through her fascination with Neuroscience and problem-solving. She attended her first yoga class in 2009 in an attempt to relieve her post-delivery back pain. A few weeks later, she was hooked and blown away by how this ancient practice had changed her body and mind.

A few years into her practice, Elinor has decided to share it with others and become a teacher. Elinor has led hundreds of classes, retreats, and workshops. She uses yoga to combine her love of science, anatomy, human development, and spirituality. When she is not teaching or coaching clients, she likes running and spending time with her friends and family. Elinor is a minimalist, an avid reader, and is addicted to the ocean.

She believes that No one needs correction, and everyone can use direction! And your mat is a great place to find yours.
