Maria is a devoted teacher and student of yoga. She teaches with a focus on increasing flexibility, strength and balance through stability. She encourages her students to be open and accepting of where they are today yet continuing to challenge them to strive beyond their boundaries. She teaches students to be observing of their own bodies and have greater alignment in their poses.

“My love of of Yoga brings me joy and an openness to learning. I wish to share this with others. When we are open and accepting of where we are today, it allows us to restore calm in our body, mind and soul so we can continue to grow.”

 The nurturing connection, healing support and the wonderful community of gentle yoga resonates deeply with Barbara.  Guiding students on an exploration into a bliss state of release, relaxation and reconnecting through gentle and restorative movements brings her joy.  She loves sharing the many positive benefits yoga has on our mind, body & souls.  

Barbara completed her 200-hour RYT in 2014; 300-hour RYT in 2015 and with her 500-hour RYT training with Healing Movements she experienced a deeper connection to listening to her body, being kinder to herself, and releasing self-expectations helped significantly in her healing journey from a brain injury. 

 Please keep an eye out for future announcements on a Brain Health series lead by Barbara coming to the studio soon. 

Youngsun started practicing yoga for her mental health as well as physical health. Then, she realized yoga has much more to offer than just health benefits. It made her smile and filled her with a sense of joy and gratitude every time. Also, yoga has helped her feel more connected with herself, nature, and the world.

After completing the 500hr yoga teacher training at Healing Movements, Youngsun decided to dedicate all her time and energy to teaching yoga. Her class focuses on being in the present moment by observing breath and noticing the physical and emotional sensations in the body. Her Gentle Hatha classes help calm and relax body and mind; her Strong Hatha teaches how to keep breathing and stay calm even in the most challenging situations. 

Youngsun is looking forward to sharing this beautiful practice with you. 

Jasmin’s relationship with yoga began roughly 10 years ago.   She had no idea what it meant to “do yoga”.   “I now understand that yoga is so much more than stretching. It is a full experience of the mind body and soul. A connection to something beautiful”. 

Jasmin completed her 200hr training with Marianne Wells in Costa Rica then went on to take her 500hr training with Healing Movements. 

In Jasmin’s classes you will experience the 8 limbs of yoga. It is her goal to hold a judgment free space where students can grow.  She uses an approach which is both gentle and strengthening,  it is her goal for both student and teacher to be carrying their groceries at age 80.
