Robin’s love for yoga developed from a time when problems with her own health and anxiety were at a peak. Through the gentle healing nature of the practice, she began to live from a place of joy and abundance. As a Satya Yoga Immersion graduate, Robin’s daily practice of yoga and meditation is considered her most treasured gift to herself. Yoga has given her the distinct belief in the connectivity of everything on this beautiful Earth, and everything beyond.

​

While Robin juggles the roles of a working mom, yoga has imparted upon her a way to live with grace and equanimity throughout any situation. Specifically, as a child mindfulness advocate, she hopes to instill this philosophy into the public school sector to create a kinder, gentler education system for all. Robin hopes to inspire ways to calm the mind, enliven the body, and create a union between the two with all of her students.

Jennifer came to yoga looking for a way to engage her body and reduce anxiety. In addition to what she was seeking,  what she found was a practice that fosters a reverence for life, encourages the wonder of stepping into the mystery of the unknown and furnishes a sacred space where we can shed our exterior selves and let go of mental noise.

​

For Jennifer, yoga is about nurturing balance — balance between strength and flexibility, effort and ease, inward and outward relations. Jennifer offers breath-inspired, mindful practice blending elements of Hatha, Vinyasa, pranayama, and meditation. Her intention is to provide space for reflection, rejuvenation, and reconnection with self.

Jennifer is a graduate of the Satya Yoga Immersion.

Brenda is a graduate of the Satya Yoga Immersion. Through yoga, Brenda has found her true intentions, her divine strength, and her highest edge. Her daily practice allows her to surrender to her truth, to love a little more, and to stand on her own two feet.  Yoga encourages Brenda to keep going, rise above, and lift up others along the way.  In her offerings, you can expect to focus inward, channel prana through the body, and open up space for the breath to flow.  After practicing with Brenda you will feel energized, renewed, and empowered. 

Brenda's intention is to guide you to connect with your highest self by calming the mind, being guided by your heart space, and listening to the soul’s whisper as you quiet the ego. The fire and passion in Brenda will meet, see, and honor the fire and passion within you. Namaste
