Why I Teach

“The reason I teach is to connect and form connections. I think most of all, it is the connection of unity within the community of people we get to interact with. I believe that is where our beauty truly shines its brightest.”
Hannah
“Yoga has been a constant companion for me for over three decades. I teach and practice yoga to build wellness and strength, calm the mind, and cultivate compassion—both inward and outward.”
Nancy
“I found yoga later in my life, but it made me realize we can recharge our bodies at any age. There are many ways we can adjust the physical to help our bodies get stronger and more flexible. Our wisdom and age can accept what can be done and what can’t be done. Life is full of opportunities to take care of ourselves a we adjust from caring for others and directing that care to ourselves.”

“Yoga helps me release the stress that comes with balancing work and life. Qigong helps me cultivate the healing energy I need to show up with my best self. These gifts have been life-changing for me, so I teach to share them with you.”
Tessa
“Practicing and teaching Yoga has always been about embodiment for me. It is only from an embodied place that we can truly connect with ourselves, each other and our world. It’s an honor to be able to offer an experience in which students can explore, play and regulate themselves through breath and movement.”
Elitza
“I started teaching yoga in 2003, and today more than ever it feels like a calling to hold space and offer tools for awareness, self-regulation and healing. When I teach I too benefit from fully meditating on the students and clearing my own mind. I love the feeling of lightness and connectedness in the studio.”
Stacey
“One of my teachers shared this gem: ‘If you don't use your Gd given gifts to elevate humanity, than you will not be given the gifts of the Universe..’ - Master Choa Kok Sui When I receive , I give; It's a universal law. This is why I have dedicated my life to Yogic, Ayurvedic & Pranic practices.”
Lana
“Teaching yoga feels like an extension of who I am, woven into how I move through and understand the world. Creating an accepting environment feels central to that, and it’s empowering to inspire others along their movement journeys while holding space for their practice to unfold in its own unique way, creating a shared experience of growth, presence, and connection. I also find it fun and playful to craft creative sequences.”

Michael
“I love how yoga classes create a Satsang - a good and true community. Even as one person is leading the class, everyone in the room is influencing the energy and momentum. I’ve always appreciated how this specific form of Satsang brings like minded people together and gives all of us a new perspective on the day.”
Casey
“I come from a long line of teachers, and sharing yoga and meditation feels like a natural extension of who I am. I love teaching yoga because it allows me to offer a gift – a moment of grounding, a new perspective, a bit of levity – and then step back and let the student make it their own.”
Jess
“I love helping people feel at home and their bodies, whether that’s through strength, relaxation or something in between. Our bodies and our breath are gifts. I feel lucky to be able to share practices that guide others to honor those gifts.”
Jenn
“My favorite part about being a yoga instructor is the shared vulnerability — showing students that even though I am standing at the front of the room, guiding them through their practice, that I too have my struggles, that I am on my own healing journey, and they are very much a part of it.”
Kathy
“For me, every class is not only creating wonderful relationships with my students, yoga is also a moving meditation… A sacred pause where the mind and body finally arrive together to rediscover who we are beneath the noise. My deepest fulfillment comes from watching my students transform into a sense of peace that doesn’t just stay on the mat, but ripples out into their daily lives.”
