SoulTribe Adventures, Co-Founder
SoulPlay Yoga, Founder
Culver City, CA
Teaching yoga has opened so many other opportunities and doors for me to help empower others the way this practice empowered me. I now own and operate SoulPlay Yoga in Culver City, California, a bright, quirky and diverse neighborhood studio that celebrates our differences, and I also run SoulTribe Adventures: Yoga, Fitness & Adventure Retreats.
Yogi Beans, Founder
New York, NY
I was fortunate to have been introduced to the practice of yoga during my college years. I initially practiced yoga for the physical conditioning and as a form of workout. Similar to many young girls in college I suffered from an eating disorder and poor body image; yet, there was something about yoga class that was uniquely different than all the kickboxing and spin classes that I also participated in at that time.
Souljoun Yoga, Founder
New York, NY
As a survivor of violence, yoga has helped me reconnect with my sense of self. I had to learn to nourish myself and try very hard to fill the void that I felt on a daily basis. So, I went to my yoga mat and started going to classes every day, if not twice, just to reclaim my body and move expressively without consequence of where it would take me.
Creator of The HOPE Process & CEO of Mother Trucker Yoga
Madison, Wisconsin
Yoga was my platform to help others, inspire others, lead others, guide others to dig deep and grow. And every step I guided others to do that, I was also doing it for myself. Years passed and I eventually began leading yoga teacher training's, I created my own methodology to movement and core integration. I began to learn to allow, rather than force life and life showed me its blessings.
Professional Yoga and Astrology Teacher
Eugene, Oregon
Mainly, I teach AstroYoga. This type of yoga is based on the incorporation of yoga’s sister science (astrology) into the practice. AstroYoga uses the timing of planetary transits to grant depth to group practices, and to ensure that yoga practices are in harmony with nature and the larger cosmos.
