Liz Skarvelis

Yoga always invites me home - home to my body, my breath, and the moment. My intention is to bring a felt experience of coming home to others - on the mat and in life. My offerings are relevant and practical, while including wisdom teachings, subtle body awareness, energetics, and pranayama practices. I believe in our collective consciousness and universal heart and tap into both to teach and guide. I am also drawn to levity and absurdity, as laughter is real good medicine.

I found the joy of yoga and realized I wanted to share the benefits and experience of yoga with others. As an avid motorcyclist and outdoorsman, I have found practical application of yoga to my life.

I love Yoga because it makes me feel whole. I love that the practice is more than physical, yet it is physically challenging every time you step onto the mat. I strive to teach every student how to experience each posture in a safe, sustainable and intentional way. As a serious student of philosophy and teacher of all of the limbs of Yoga, it is my responsibility to share the ancient but very alive teachings in an authentic and compassionate way.

I started my yoga journey in 2013, a good friend of mine started practicing at a local studio and said it would be fun and I should try. So I came, sat, breathed, chanted and was introduced to the handstand and I had to have more. I kept showing up and the things kept evolving and in 2015 I dove into my 200 YTT and have been teaching since. Being an athlete growing up and avid rock climber I have seen and felt a huge amount of benefit that comes with a steady yoga practice and hope to share this knowledge with others.

My mat has always been a sanctuary for me, it is where I go to tend to my temple. The practice of yoga helps me feel connected to self, it helps me feel at home in my body, and reminds me to breath. Teaching yoga is stepping into my dharma. Yoga is an ancient practice passed on from teacher to teacher. I feel honored to have received this path and practice from my teachers, and it is an honor to guide as your teacher.

I have always been in touch with my intuition and sensitive to the world around me. Beginning the journey to deepen my practice allowed me to be present in my body and experience the ebb and flow of life more freely. Living in alignment with the yogic path invited, and continues to invite, an abundance of presence, trust, knowing, healing, learning, acceptance, love and connection. I aspire to hold the space for others to continue returning home to themselves.

Sam Osborne

Little did I know the first time I stepped on to a yoga mat would be the beginning of my journey back home. Home to the body I had disconnected from and abandoned long ago. Having struggled with an eating disorder for over a decade, I felt so uncomfortable in my own skin. It was through the practice of yoga I started to repair this disconnect. My focus started to shift from, trying to control and the function of this amazing vessel. I became passionate about the mind-body connection and the way yoga can heal and transform us. This passion grew into a deep desire to share this healing practice with others. I teach to provide a space for self discovery, to allow space for each student to have their own unique experience, and to reconnect with the intelligence of their body, their HOME.

I was introduced to yoga more than 20 years ago and have witnessed yoga's transformative power in all seasons of life. I consider yoga integral to living a grounded and embodied life in an increasingly fast-paced and cerebral world. You can expect a blend of flow and the rejuvenating, restorative, and profoundly healing aspects of Yoga Nidra in my classes. I aspire to leave students feeling more aligned in mind, body & spirit by inviting connection to each individual’s innate wisdom. In life off the mat, I work to facilitate rural and agricultural resiliency, share mindful time with two recently-wild mustangs, and spend spare moments in the garden.

Yoga has always been a natural and intuitive practice for me. With a deep background in dance and functional movement, yoga fell into place effortlessly. It offers me the space to turn inward, to listen to my body and move from a place of authenticity. I am continuously inspired by the simplicity of movement, breath and intention, and the power it offers to energetically heal the body, mind and heart. As a yoga teacher, I encourage students to slow down and listen to what the body is asking for, and then, move from a place of supported integrity. The use of props, modifications, variations and rest is always promoted to help you meet your body’s individual needs each time you step on the mat.

Sleepless nights and high anxiety were draining my ability to show up authentically for those around me. Desperately seeking support, I turned to yoga and immediately found a foundational and sustainable breath practice. As I grew more fluent in Yoga, I began to notice subtle shifts in my outer landscape, but it was the shifts to my inner landscape that were so profound. Yoga and breath awareness became my support in reconnecting to my center. My desire is to offer a practice that brings balance and harmony through gentle shapes and expressions with space for integration and reflection. As a wife, mother, lover of animals and nature, and persistent seeker of joy, I am honored to share the immense gifts of slowing down, breathing, and returning to our true selves through the path and practices of Yoga.

Kaela Medrano

Beginning my movement and teaching journey in the dance studio, creative and intuitive movement became my liberation. Creating a stronger connection with my physical body through intentional movement allowed self awareness and clarity to strengthen my mind body connection. Yoga was the gift that changed everything; it has provided a path home that I didn’t realize was within. Dance opened the gate, while yoga has allowed for sustainable expansion and ease. Integrating yogic philosophy and wisdom with physical practice has created a safe place to arrive and remember. My intention is to share an accessible and joyous practice for all to explore curiosity and playfulness while deepening their mind body connection. I am grateful for the opportunity to hold space, guiding others into their breath, an opportunity to expand, accept and release.

I was drawn to yoga as a way to stay flexible, strong, and protect my body from injury after feeling burnt out on dance training. Although dance filled my soul, I did not always feel like I was honoring myself physically. My background in dance informs my teaching, and my hope is to offer postures and sequences based in energetic alignment, listening to the wisdom of the body, and variations to accommodate injuries and promote healing. Yoga has allowed me to grow in gratitude, humility, dedication, and slowing down. I aim to teach classes grounded in harmony between strength and ease with plenty of opportunities to turn inward.

My yoga journey started out of curiosity. I wanted to get comfortable in my own skin, to acquire tools and knowledge for long-term health and to build a foundation for life-long authentic connection to the world around me. I believe passionately in the healing qualities of this ancient practice to expand our hearts as well as strengthen our bodies. When on our mats together we’ll explore the felt sensation of spaciousness. Through playful movement and breath we’ll reveal the wisdom hidden within our bones, muscles and tissues, and generate space to make room for grace.

I began practicing yoga as a teen to support my swimming and manage my scoliosis. After a few years of teaching fitness classes and experiencing more anxiety in my life, I was drawn back to yoga. I hadn’t planned to complete a YTT, but everything fell into place, and I wouldn’t change anything about the experience. Yoga has brought me closer to myself and a community that I didn’t know I needed. It is a reminder to stay intentional, both on and off the mat. I hope to share my experience with others by providing a safe space for people to feel at home and in their body through yoga.

I stumbled across yoga many years ago while looking for relief from chronic low back pain and general body aches. As I experienced physical relief, yoga became an essential part of my life and I didn’t feel good physically without it. It wasn’t long until I noticed that yoga was changing and nurturing me, not only on the outside, but emotionally and spiritually as well. Yoga became a way that I could quiet my mind, practice present moment awareness, and feel into my body.  I experienced a significant shift in perspective and gained insight on how I wanted to live my life. Today, my mat is a grounding tool, a place where I go to remember, find grace for myself and others, and a space where I can begin again.
