Type your paragraph here.

With an extensive background in weight training and fitness, I always thought yoga would be fun and easy. After my first class I found it was NOT as easy as I imagined, but the true surprise was the sense of peace and joy I found. When you listen to yourself, everything comes naturally. It comes from inside, like a kind of will to do something. Try to be sensitive. That is yoga.

I have been practicing yoga for over 20 years. In becoming a yoga teacher , I plan to help the elderly to get a better range of motion, better circulation, and hopefully continue their independence. I have enjoyed my last few months in class learning about yoga. I have always been someone to help and care for others. Yoga will be another tool that will help me continue that. I am 64 years old and can keep up with my grandkids with no problem and all because of my yoga practice. I see yoga as a way of life. It makes my life better, happier ,stronger ,I would like to give that to other elderly so that they know life doesn't have to stop when you get to be a certain age.

Carolina Revelli di Beaumont

While living in Arkansas in 2007, I was invited to practice with friends.  Not only did I love one of the studios I practiced in but I also fell in love with yoga.  Since then, I have worked on my practice and seriously started practicing daily, at home, about two years ago.  It has changed my life in some many ways - physically, mentally, and emotionally.  Because of this, I believe more people would benefit from yoga if they would take the first step and try practicing it.  That is why I decided to take YTT and I hope to help others reap the benefits I have, one person and one pose at a time.  Namaste.

Skylar Tatu

I'm Amy Iverson and I am originally from Ca, now in Northern Az with my husband Freeman and our pup ..loving it. Also have a 25 year old son not to far from us.  I am 44 years old and have been practicing yoga since I was in my mid 20's. I am also an essential oil specialist and work with gems and crystals for healing purposes. 

Prior to this I was in the Medical field over 18 years. As I have gotten older I felt very drawn to deepen the practice and learn even more. What I have learned through Yoga & Ayurveda Center completely validated what I was wanting and needed. I have learned so much. I am very excited to be able to help others and pass on knowledge. 

Hello! My name is Larisa Williams I am 50 years old and the owner of Ozero Massage & Wellness Studio in Mooresville, NC. I am married and have a 22 year old son. I have practiced yoga off and on, all my life, But never consistent way. I joined Steph’s Online Yoga School in January 31 and I couldn’t ask for a better mentor on my path to becoming  a yoga instructor. The self-paced program is very attractive to people like me with a busy schedule.         I have always been very fit, spending most of my life in sports and dance suffering through several injuries and surgeries. After spending  8 years in my massage and myoskeletal therapy career I realized that I had developed a lack of flexibility and had completely forgotten about proper self-care.              ( that’s how I end up with new injury) So, I’ve made the decision to start doing yoga....good for me!                                                                                                         

With all the different types of workout in the world, why choose yoga?! I could go on for hours, but the short answer is that benefits your emotional and physical health like no other fitness routine. It grounds you, relaxes your nervous system, improves immunity, increases your lung capacity, clarifies your mind just to name a few examples. After all, people have been doing yoga for at least 5,000 years, so it has to be worth it!                                                                       

First things first: find your style! Safety is key. There are so many different styles of yoga. I personally like Hatha, Bikram, Yin and Kundalini yoga mix. When it comes to self-care and nurturing spirituality, there are countless effective yoga practices and traditions that can be used to bring these qualities into alignment.

- Morning routines and rituals.

- Habits-creating new ones, breaking old ones.

- Ice baths and cold water therapy or sauna and steam room or Hot Yoga as

as - Pranayama. Meditation. Chanting.

I have started to slow down with all healthy and joyful rituals.

When was the last time you stopped to really notice the world around you? To do nothing, to simply feel, be mindful, make time to relax and unwind. In my eyes yoga is a positive outlet that adds discipline, well-being and tranquility to my daily routine. Balance. I don’t see myself teaching yoga to large groups. So after giving it much thought I decided to offer my clients a highly-personalized, private yoga class combined with customized massage as a package. Combining the Art of massage and Yoga therapy. During my private yoga class we’ll work together to set new goals, improve  sleep and relaxation or address a health concern or injury. Yoga is a personal transformation. Your body. Your mind. Your soul. Your rituals. My yoga journey continues. Sat Nam. 🙏🧘‍♀️❤️

I am Nidhi, student of 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Online Course. I am 34 years old, at present living in Malaysia will be moving back to India soon.

I was born and raised in Sarasota Florida. I grew up in a yogic ashram in the 70’s, which definitely had a profound influence on my spiritual life. I have been a vegetarian on and off throughout my life but have been so consistently for over 20 years. My children are almost all grown and I am ready to get back into the physical aspect of yoga. I believe it is most important to follow yogic philosophy for mental and spiritual well being and to practice hatha yoga to support the body while it carries our true Selves through this physical journey.

My name is Kala and I'm a wife and mother. I currently reside in rural Northern California, which is an area surrounded by the natural beauty of the Pacific Ocean and Redwood forest. I mostly practice Hatha and Vinyasa yoga, but yoga is more than physical movement. I feel pranayama and meditation are important pieces of a yoga practice. My yoga journey has grown over the years, and one ambition for completing this yoga teacher training was to continue to deepen my own practice. Additionally, I have completed the following trauma-sensitive yoga courses: Yoga for Self-Regulation and Trauma in October 2018, and Yoga for Anxiety and Trauma in December 2018. I would love to combine my background in Social Work with this 200hrYTT and trauma-sensitive courses to be able to hold space for other to heal through yoga.

Masters in Business Economics, with 10 years experience in banking . I had taken a break from the corporate world when my son was born and my family relocating to different countries. During my stay overseas I had developed spine issues and moved to Yoga.

 Getting deeper into the practise, I realised the benefits it had on both the body and mind, boosting the body’s immunity and bringing inner peace.

As a lifelong student, I am looking forward to learn as much as I can and make a small contribution in this world through yoga  to promote overall well being .

I have attended some workshops in few countries, conducted a few classes as a substitute for my teacher and now formalizing my training through the Teacher’s Training Program Online while continuing my practise as a student with my teachers.

In 2012, I took my certification in Reiki Level 1 from Nairobi, Kenya.

I have also completed my advanced Learning in Understanding Yoga Anatomy under the Neil Asher Technique Program in January 2019.

My style of Yoga combines concise instructions, focuses on breath & safety and allows you to be aware and true to yourself.

Selina came into yoga for all the wrong reasons. She wanted to loose weight, get fit and stop the joint pain she was experiencing, but she found so much more. Yoga taught her how to find her inner light, self love and acceptance all while improving her health. She quickly found that yoga is so much more than fitness. Yoga empowered her to go after the life she always desired. Outside of teaching yoga you can find Selina with her family, camping or on a beach.

"I discovered yoga in 2010.  I was a newly sober, recovering alcoholic and on top of that I was preparing to be a mother.  This was an extremely difficult time in my life, I was full of stress and I was fearful of where my life was going.   One day I came across an intro to yoga DVD, I popped it into the player and listened to this woman talk about her journey in yoga and how it helped her in her own journey of recovering from addiction.  Talk about what I like to call a ‘God Shot’!  I was hooked from that day forward.

For many years I have known that I want to help people feel better mentally and physically.  On a whim in 2019 I decided to enroll in a Yoga Teacher Training Course.  I was inspired to share this practice that helped save my life.  I love to share yoga with people who are struggling to find peace in their own lives.

Yoga is a great way to get the body moving, create space and flexibility and to release tension.  I also believe that yoga is a very spiritual practice, it is a great opportunity to quiet the mind and get in touch with the heart.  In my classes you can expect to find a nice mix of movement to create heat in the body along with grounding and centering.  I love to include opportunities for students to get in touch with their deepest selves, so they emerge from class feeling a sense of renewal and rejuvenation.

My name is Jessica Carbone, I reside in the beautiful state of Pennsylvania. I have been practicing yoga for over five years. I fell in love with yoga when I took a restorative class. It was the first time I could actually be still without having major anxiety. I was diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety, bipolar depression and personality disorder over 10 years ago. Yoga has become something crucial for my ongoing recovery and mental health care. I became a medical marijuana patient two years ago and became pharmaceutical free thanks to Cannabis. I soon started combining cannabis with my yoga practice. It changed and opened up a whole new perspective for me. It connected a spiritual part of me I couldn't access before the cannabis. Cannabis is great for opening your mind to trying new poses and entering a state of full relaxation. Not only is the spiritual healing beneficial but the physical benefits are wonderful. Consuming Cannabis while practicing yoga can encourage the body to go deeper into poses. Cannabis is great for helping with inflammation and pain management. Cannabis Yoga has become something I look forward to practicing everyday. Early 2019 I started a company called Herb and Soul. It is a holistic healing and wellness company, focused on the benefits of herbals and cannabis healing combined with yoga, art therapy and other forms of meditation. I have been teaching Blaze and Bend Cannabis Yoga since starting my yoga teacher training. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and the benefits of Cannabis Yoga. I am dedicated to breaking the stigma surrounded by Cannabis use. I strongly believe in healing the body with movement and natural herbs. 

I have been teaching health and physical education over 15 years at Meadville Area Senior High School, located in Pennsylvania. I am excited to be bringing both the physical and mental benefits of yoga to our students in the years to come. 

Yoga is also instrumental in helping me focus and prepare for my passion of dog sledding. I am looking forward to sharing the benefits of yoga to other mushers both in my area and around the country.

Nathalie Jung

My name is Emily and I’ve been practicing yoga for over 10 years now. It has always been a goal of mine to become a certified instructor and share my passion with others. 

I live in Northwest Kansas with my husband and our blended family of 4 children of my own and 4 step children along with my 2 year old grandson who I adore.  Yoga has became a lifestyle for me to help balance myself and I want to be able to share with others the benefit it has given to me.

Amy’s continuously new and evolving yoga practice began over 25 years ago in a college Hatha class, when she first experienced the deep, nourishing rest of Savasana.

As a teacher, Amy’s goal is to guide students in developing a sustainable personal practice that will grow and evolve over time. With instruction primarily in individual and small group sessions, students grow and learn at their own pace, as they query, practice, meditate, energize, and restore. Mantra, meditation, EFT/Tapping, and other suitable techniques are possible elements for a well-rounded practice.

Amy’s training and experience is in Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin Yoga, and Slow Yoga, though she also enjoys Kundalini and Yoga Trapeze!

When not practicing or teaching yoga, Amy works as an administrator at a historic private school. She enjoys hiking with her husband and two dogs, painting in acrylic and mixed media, growing a large vegetable garden, as well as exploring beautiful New Mexico.

My name is April Joyce and I am a 200 hour CYT. I am originally from Pelham Alabama but I now call Orlando Florida home. 
I have been into yoga since 2016. I first started classes because I had hurt my back and needed relief. I was quickly hooked. During the course of taking yoga, my instructor brought up to me that I would make an excellent instructor so I began to informally teach and class assist at the yoga loft in Alabaster Alabama in October 2017. I had a few hiccups along the way, but I am finally here! I signed up for a 200 hour RYS to begin in march of 2018, but my husband was transferred to Orlando Florida. After a couple of fits and starts, I began and completed my certified training at yoga and Ayurveda center (in Pennsylvania). I loved this training so much, I am continuing my education with an additional 200 Hour RYT certification. It is a priority for me to continue my education to better serve the needs of my clients. 
I truly love all aspects of Yoga, the physical as well as the spiritual, and enjoy sharing with others that which brings happiness and joy. My teaching style is energetic and I love to know that my clients leave my classes feeling  both energized and peaceful. It may also be worth noting that I am independently insured. This allows me to teach at locations which require instructors to provide their own coverage and also brings an added benefit of peace-of-mind to my private clients.
When I am not teaching or studying yoga you can find me out enjoying the outdoors or riding thrill rides at the many theme parks Orlando has to offer.  I truly love being outdoors, this stems from growing up on a farm and enjoying nature and wilderness as a child. 

Namaste!

I am Tricia Christie. My yoga journey begin in California. I started taking Yoga to recover from a back injury. It wasn’t more than a week later I definitely knew I would teach this ancient practice someday.  Yoga is truly the unity of mind and body for me. I am grateful to have the training to share Yoga with others.  This program has a supportive community that helped me find my “yoga voice” and step into classes with confidence.  I am so grateful to be a part of this course and I am hoping that I see a 300 hr course in the near future.


In Love and Light,

I have been enjoying yoga for several years.  After experiencing an extreme tragedy, I could not slow down my mind and rest. I was always on the go, my mind was running wild, and my health was suffering.  After my first restorative yoga class, during savasana, my mind was still and my body was at rest, for the first time in years. Tears trickled down my face as I knew I had found "home".  
I am now a certified 200 yoga teacher, after receiving my  certification from Yoga & Ayurveda Center and I love helping others find true rest for their bodies and minds through yoga and meditation.  
I believe our bodies can heal naturally with added benefits and I am also involved with essential oils and herbal healing. It is a joy and an honor to help others find peace and health from within.

My name is Layne “Cully” Margus. Born and raised in Silver Spring, Md. but I reside in North Carolina, where I’m a beach bum and do a lot of outdoor activities. I haven’t been practicing yoga very long but I fell in love with it from my very first class. My teacher, who is a ryt 500, inspired me on becoming a teacher. I’m so thankful for getting out of my comfort zone and trying a class. Now I’m obsessed! 
I grew up as a ballet dancer and later became a teacher. So I figured why not get back into teaching but in a different format. 
Yoga to me, helps improve your health and happiness. It’s an incredible way to strengthen the body and mind. I want to teach people to understand that yoga is the best way to connect to ones self. Life’s to short to live the same day twice and this is the motto I live by! I’m so excited for my future as a yoga teacher and to spread the joys of yoga into others lives! 

Deborah was first introduced to yoga in 1979 while living in Germany. It has been a constant in her life as she moved around the country and world. She’s had many teachers, learning Hatha, Yin, Chair and Restorative Yoga. As a former special education teacher and psychotherapist, she’s been able to incorporate meditation and breathing techniques to help reduce stress and manage anxiety. Her focus in teaching now is Chair and Restorative Yoga and the target audience is seniors.

I’m Jackye Crumley, I’m in school right now to become a Licensed Massage Therapist. I have just recently finished the 200 hr YTT. I have been athletic my whole life. I have ran the gamut of competitive sports as well as weightlifting, roller derby and martial arts. My career is as a paramedic, which is so fulfilling to be able to help people during their most traumatic time. As I get older I realize I want to continue to help people, but in a more holistic, healing, and less traumatic and emergent atmosphere. I have found my love of therapeutic massage, and yoga and meditation. Through this avenue during my clinicals I have noticed how the combination of these three therapies are helping people with chronic pain have more mobility and confidence. I’m not sure as of yet if I will be opening a studio or doing outcalls and private classes, but I do know I will be pledging my time for service to my community to give back in some form or fashion with yoga or massage or with both.  I’m in Brownwood Texas but do have retirement plans to the mountains some day. 

Yoga has helped me in my personal practice to find peace with many traumas. The philosophy has restored my soul into the person I always knew was inside but didn’t know how to get out. I have been able to release so much stored up negative emotion. Finding yoga as more than an exercise was a blessing. I became a Reiki practitioner in 2001 which is what started my journey into the healing and holistic lifestyle, until I started in the medical field and got a little side tracked by the fast pace and long hours. 

Hello, my name is Shelby Wright. I'm a wife, mother, sister, lover, friend, and healer, constantly trying to bring forth my best self. I'm a Licensed/Certified Athletic Trainer, pursuing my Masters Degree in Kinesiology and Exercise Science, as well as Ayurvedic Wellness Coach Certification with Katie Silcox's Shakti Ayurveda School. I have a passion for health and wellness and methods for healing the body naturally. I look forward to serving my community as a yoga instructor and bringing new insight to the industry.

Heather Nielsen

Hello Yogi’s,

My name is Danielle and I am a 200 Hour Certified Yoga Teacher. Along with my Teacher Training I have received my Restorative, Chair and Ayurveda Specialist Certifications. I have a thorough background of Vinyasa, Hatha, Bikram and Yin Yoga. For me, Yoga has always been a safe space and somewhere to center myself. I believe Yoga is a mindful and therapeutic form of self-expression focusing on the importance of breath with movement. 

In 2010 I attended my first Hot Yoga class at a local studio. Despite my previous misconceptions, I walked out of class that day light-footed and light-hearted. Something internally shifted. Over the next nine years my curiosity expanded and practice deepened. It wasn’t until I moved back to my home town that I began maximizing my potential in the Yoga industry. I quit my corporate job and stayed committed and consistent as I worked on my own mind, body and spirit connection. My journey has changed me and my Yoga has strengthened me. 

My yoga journey began 25 years ago while getting my degree in Dance.  I had one particular professor who drove home the mind body connection that comes with the practice.   I was hooked and began teaching alongside my dance career. Unfortunately a back injury ended my dance career and my yoga practice.

Several years later, and a lot of pain, a friend recommended Pilates.  I found relief from the pain and regained my love of teaching.  I got certified and after six years teaching Pilates decided it was time to revisit yoga.  I can not express how glad I am.  My daily practice gives helps center me to be a better mom, friend and therapist to ASD children.

Alecia Croft

Sometimes it will come up in conversation and curiously I'll ask..."have you ever done yoga?" "Would you ever be interested in trying a class?" All too often the response is, "I can't even touch my toes! Or "I won't be any good at it."  
   It seems that what so many people fail to realize is that you don't have to be good at yoga to do it and enjoy it. We live in a culture that is so focused on competition, winning and being the best. If you have never taken a yoga class or would like to at some point but are a bit hesitant, just remember this, yoga is not about competition, winning or being the best. There are no awards, trophies or gold medals. And that to me is the beauty of it all! Yoga is about being. It doesn't matter what you can or can't do. Be here now because presence matters. This is the message I want students to take from my classes. Get to know yourself. Get to know your body, treat it as a temple. Our bodies have so much to teach us if we are patient and just listen. Remember, the best and most important relationship you have in life is the one you have with yourself. 
For me, my yoga journey actually began when I was a teenager. I had no idea what to expect, but was instantly hooked! With a background in gymnastics, I loved the balance, flexibility, grace and strength yoga offered me. However, yoga has so much more to offer us, the balance, flexibly, grace and strength are not only physical, but mental as well. 
Beyond my mat, I love spending time in nature with my dogs, the trees, streams, flowers and beauty. No matter the season, (I love them all by the way!) there is always something beautiful for us to take in and keep centered and grounded. I also enjoy being out on lakes, paddle boarding with my pug 😁 and I've even started doing SUP yoga!!

Hello! My name is Kristie Antalosky.  I live in Frackville, PA.  I am 49 years old and grew up being trained in gymnastics and dance and have always firmly believed in living a healthy life balanced with mindful eating and exercise of the mind and body,- including cardio, strength, core building and lots of yoga practice. I am passionate about making a difference in the lives of others.

I am a middle school teacher in the day and teach fitness classes three nights a week in the evenings at a local fitness center.  I have a wonderfully supportive husband and two beautiful and genuine children: Cody (age 24) and Kali (age 21).

I am from Boulder, Colorado and I’m 19 years old. I was inspired to get certified because I wanted to challenge myself in a new athletic venture. My goals with yoga are to be able to help others as well as myself be more gracious and mindful in and out of practice. I enjoy intense practices of yoga often incorporating heat and music. Yoga is my favorite outlet to relieve stress and appreciate myself. Outside of yoga I am a student at Chapel Hill, employee for Bob’s Oat Bars, and entrepreneur of my own company Cock-y.

My name is Kim Rauch and I have been practicing yoga for 10 years. My initial purpose for engaging in yoga practice was to help loosen tight muscles from years of running, however,  I have grown to love all types  and aspects of yoga. I am a retired school teacher and plan to combine my teaching experience and passion for yoga.

Allan has been learning and practicing yoga since 2002. Since 2013, Allan has made yoga his primary mode of exercise for fitness. From the beginning, practicing yoga was not about “losing weight”, but he practices it to feel amazingly calm, centered, rooted, and forceful. In 2017, Allan began looking for a way to fit a yoga teaching program into his public school teacher finances and busy parent-of-teenagers lifestyle. In early 2019 he found Steph’s Online Yoga 200 hr certification course. It took a couple months to save up the money, and he enrolled as soon as he could. Allan is eager to pass on what he learned.

My name is Pete.  I have been blessed with the opportunity to walk through life, take different paths, appreciate what the universe offers me, and approach it with extreme gratitude.  One of my life joys is to provide the gift and guidance of Yin Yoga.  Yin was developed to penetrate deep into connective tissue expanding flexibility while invigorating the energy centers of the body (nadis) or Qi to release blockages and increase your energy flow.  Focusing on static movement, breath work, (Pranayama) and meditation to create a profoundly deep and rewarding practice.  Yin asanas are passive postures, mainly on the floor, supported, and unique in that you are asked to hold the pose, relax in the posture and soften the muscle.  As a Yin Yoga guide, I am there to be supportive and assist students through the postures and breathing techniques much like meditation.  My goal is to provide Yin participants a safe, secure environment to focus on their individual well being.  Come, lay out your mat, enjoy your practice and gratitude for who you are.

With an athletic background, physical health and strength has always been a driving force in my life. This force was met with a passion for mental and emotional health, when yoga became part of my journey! As a mother of two and a school teacher, my desire to nurture and help others reach their happiest and healthiest self is imprinted firmly on my heart. I strive to spread positivity through my words, actions and presence, and feel I can do that intimately while sharing in the practice of Yoga!

I started taking yoga lessons about 10 years ago when I retired as an RN in New Hampshire.  My husband and I moved from NH to Southern Utah….no mosquitos but plenty of scorpions! I’ve always been a runner, having completed 8 marathons since I turned 50.  I truly enjoy yoga and decided to take the 200 hr teacher training, and when I completed that, I took the Restorative Yoga Teacher Training.  As part of my retirement bucket list, I have been taking lessons on my guitar for classical music.  It’s kind of a busy day between the two: both disciplines compliment each other.  Today we are celebrating 41 years of marriage. Music, Yoga, and a great Marriage…..it gets no better!

My name is Shannon Bryson I’m 38yrs old and the mother of four beautiful children who range from 15-7 years old and I’m a Navy wife. I am a “retired” runner and high impact workout enthusiast after a fairly bad leg injury I sustained last year. During my physical therapy and recovery I discovered my love for yoga and my desire to become an instructor. The practice of yoga not only helped me recover physically from my I just but also emotionally as I came to terms with the change I needed to make in my exercise routine.
My ultimate goal with teaching yoga is to work within schools and different child/youth groups. I would love to help teach children from a young age how they can utilize their bodies, breath and minds to be more open hearted, compassionate people who can take responsibility for their own behaviors and feelings in a very organic way.

Dr Amber Wheatley started her journey in yoga during medical school in 2014. Initially a last ditch effort to manage stress and insomnia, Amber slowly found her time on the mat becoming the pinnacle of her day. As she progressed through her studies and later her career, her yoga mat would become a constant in her life. Through the lens of yoga she was able to manage the stress of her career and everyday life, recharge, and practice ultimate self-care.

Amber first came to the idea of becoming a yoga teacher while leading her colleagues in an empowerment group for ethnic minority students and professionals. Seeing the strengthened bond between the group and the relaxation at the end of each flow she knew that she had found her voice. Amber uses a combination of her clinical knowledge, experience with mindfulness and meditation and passion for healing to create a unique experience for her students.

Yoga gives me energy, peace, and health every day, and I want to share that with others. This is me living my best, most wholesome life, and I'm thrilled to see where this journey takes me and who I can help along the way.

"After going through a near death experience and having multiple health issues I turned my life and health around with my own motivation and commitment.  During a three year period I spent months at a time in solitude to contact my inner truth and find stability with my connection to spirit.  With discipline, focus, commitment, surrender and application i was able to change and transform my life and meet goals while allowing my vision plan and true identity to unfold.   This has inspired me to share and help others do the same.  Many blessings and peace be with you."

My name is Justin, currently residing in sunny Singapore. I found Yoga to solve my tight hip issue about 10 years ago. The issue was fixed in a couple of months, but I continued to practice and deepen it ever since. I am maintaining 8-10 hours of self practice a week at the moment and enjoying my "Me Time" doing Yoga. 
My only regret with Yoga is that I should have picked it up at much early age. Yoga has brought me tremendous benefits, and I feel that it would be too selfish for me to keep it to myself. Therefore, I have decided to take the first step, and get 200 Hour Certification with Steph. I have learnt a lot from Steph and looking forward to share with people all over."

After reading the list of certification titles above, some have suggested the old saying, “jack of all trades yet master of none…”  In this case, the ‘trades’ or certifications I have achieved are all aligned and will help me become the master of one.  What is that one common theme?  People taking care of people.  Food and Wine Service, Coaching and Development Service, Luxury Hospitality Service, Presenter of Service training, and most recently a Yoga Teacher Training Certification.  

From Hot Yoga sessions in DC, to peaceful flow session at Cayman Yoga Club, to practicing SUP yoga on the water with Kiristen from Vitamin Sea, these are a few of my favorite (things) ways to practice over the past 5 years.  Was it the heat to melt away the weight on my shoulders from the world?  Was it the sense of calmness that permeated through my pores after a 90 minute class of elite focus and control of breath?  Or maybe the refreshing lavender scented cool oshi-bori towel gifted at the end of class?  The correct answer: D All of the Above.  Discovering yoga was a God send.  I have considered teacher training for years and didn’t act due to my own limiting beliefs.

Now with a yoga teacher certification, I am most looking forward to meeting others, learning their journey, while getting creative to turn classes into an unforgettable and transformational experiences.

My name is Heather Cockerill. My husband and I have five kids combined, they range from 17 to 6. We keep very busy in our day to day lives. I started doing yoga more than 10 years ago. When I began I joined for the asana, but as I continued with yoga the more I learned and the more it became about the journey. I had a great instructor and I fell in love with her way of teaching. I went to every class possible. When my husband and I first started dating, we would go to yoga classes together. It was a great way to connect for us. We used this to help escape the stresses of everyday lives. When it became an option for me to take this online yoga instructor's course, I knew it was the next step for me. Not sure where this will lead me, but I know that wherever I end up, you'll find me on my mat.

My first contact with yoga wasn’t the most fortunate: I had just started exercising again, so I wasn’t very flexible at the time, and the instructor was pushing me towards injury. I never went back to that studio again, but I kept practicing yoga. Everybody is different and at a different stage of their practice, and I believe that this should be respected and cherished. I’ve been particularly enthusiastic about the home practice, which offers more flexibility and independence. Besides hatha yoga, my favorite styles are yin and restorative yoga. A consistent practice helped me immensely not to go crazy in the grad school, and I would recommend yoga to everyone as a daily routine for both mental and physical wellbeing. 

I sought yoga when I was in need of healing, which I found the first time I stepped foot onto my yoga mat. Engaging both on and off of the mat, my practice soon became a lifestyle. Through yoga, I discovered a profound passion-strengthening my overall well-being: body, mind, and spirit. Alongside, I felt inspired to use my yoga experience and knowledge to help others in finding, and reaching their intent.

I have obtained my RYT-200 Yoga Teaching certification, and continue to familiarize myself on different styles and approaches of teaching yoga, to better assist my clients in their journey to fulfillment. Are you ready to engage in a practice that helps you live each day with a more balanced, open, and grateful heart?

I'm a psychologist living in Switzerland. This summer I took a sabbatical for 4 month and traveled the US with my other half to learn more about his country of origin. As a personal goal I wanted to accomplish my yoga teacher training, as it requires a lot of energy, which I usually do not have left in my everyday life. I'm in a training to become a psychotherapist, working on my PhD and have a pretty active lifestyle (yoga, climbing, skiing, hiking) to balance all that work. Personally I do Yoga for several years as I like the way it makes me feel and providing me a deeper understanding of the interplay between my body, soul and mind. This interplay is a great resource I also want to use in my psychotherapy practice (chair, trauma-informed, restorative yoga). That's where everything comes together. Namaste

Yoga transformed Roni into a new person which helped her rise out of the darkness. Ronisoon found Power Pilates Yoga Studio, she fell in love with the heated room. The heated roomwas her weakness, the room humbles her while the heat breaks down the walls she built uparound her. Her yoga practice taught her to breakdown those walls and slowly rebuild herselfback up. Different poses help open herself up in different ways she didn’t even think were possi-ble. Roni used her yoga practice to heal her life by breaking down her worldly struggles and be-gan rebuilding up her life filled with trust, love, and acceptance. Roni is extremely grateful forall the yoga teachers that she has had, they have changed her life in so many ways.

Hi y'all, I am Memphis, TN native and a Yoga instructor/enthusiast. The past few years yoga has become a vital part of my life after I got diagnosed with Crohn's disease. I want to share the benefits of yoga with everyone because yoga is truly for every body!

My path to yoga began on a physical level but quickly evolved into a deep appreciation of the practice’s mind, body, and soul connection. I knew this practice was much more than its physical benefits, and I wanted to explore it on a deeper level. During a very stressful period in my corporate career, yoga and meditation became my sanctuary. And when I had a severe case of inflammation of sciatic nerve, yoga became my  saving grace.  My knowledge and share the joy of yoga, I earned my teaching certification to help others. My focus will be on kids, teens and senior yoga, as these groups will benefit greatly from yoga and mediation. Peace, love and light. ~ Jen

I have always had a passion for physical fitness and pursuing a healthy lifestyle. I enjoyed music since my early childhood and love to dance. However, it was not until 2014 that I came across yoga. And immediately felt different in ways that made me motivated to learn more and more about the practice. I am fortunate to have a Vedic temple in my neighborhood where I get to learn and practice pranayama and meditation. In 2019 I completed my RT200 instructor training and am currently teaching yoga in Georgia. I like to teach and I laugh a lot. My students can expect to experience loving themselves in every class. And they will learn about what is happening in their mind and body as they practice the asanas in combination with the breath.

Hello! I am Autumn. I am beyond excited that I just completed my 200hr YTT.  I live in Colorado with my three children and husband.  I found yoga 3 years ago, when I was 4 months pregnant with my second child, it was a complicated pregnancy.  Yoga helped give me the little movement I could accomplish and settled my mind.  I fell in love with the practice and continued to practice as much as I could.  Over the years I have looked for a yoga studio, but the closest yoga studio is an hour away.  Then something clicked and I knew I had to become a yoga instructor!  That is when I found Online Yoga School, I looked at many different programs and reached out to lots of them.  No school compared to Online Yoga School, Steph responded almost immediately to my questions and I felt right at home!  The journey has been amazing, my knowledge of yoga has expanded so much.  I have recently started bringing yoga to our little town by offering yoga two nights a week and I am looking to expand.  I am beyond grateful for this program and I look forward to taking more classes in the future and learning as much as I can!

I discovered yoga eight years ago when I moved to Albuquerque and was going through overwhelming life events. I found yoga to be centering and to help me cope with my career and family. Continuing a daily yoga practice has helped me balance self care with my career and family life. As yoga became a much needed daily event for me, I began to study all aspects of yoga and how to practice it holistically as well as how to teach it. I have found teaching yoga practices to be incredibly rewarding as it enhances my own personal practice and I find joy in bringing others to their edge and to their place of peace. For me, yoga is about the balance between strength and flexibility. It is about pushing myself and letting go. My classes combine strength and mobility while focusing on breath and intention.

I walked into my first yoga class on October 31, 2016.  I hadn’t been exposed to yoga in my life at all up to that point.  This studio offered a Yoga 101 class, but the next session wouldn’t begin for two months, so I asked “Can I just come in and try? I’m afraid to wait for two months.”  I had major shifts in my life at this time. I’d moved to a new city; my mother had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and my son had gone off to college. I knew I needed something and for some reason, yoga and meditation were calling me. My yoga instructor welcomed me into her class, as she said “off the street” and helped me through the poses. I was totally out of my element, but the studio itself; the lighting, the mood, the music and the demeanor of my instructor were the first time I’d felt peace in a long time. Although I had so much to learn, I knew immediately that I was at the right place and that I would be back. Luckily for me, both instructors were more than willing to help me on my journey. I started in the back of the room, hoping nobody would notice me. I rarely made a sound. As time went by, I made friends, became more comfortable in the environment and before long, my mat was at the front of the class. I don’t even remember how that happened. I never dreamed this would change my life in so many ways. I became more confident in my poses, more settled in my thoughts and overall more peaceful in my soul. Even after moving an hour away from my studio in 2017, I continued to make the drive once or twice a week to get to class.

At the beginning of 2019, I felt a need to share yoga with anyone who was like me in 2016. Anyone who was going through the changing seasons of their life and looking for an anchor. I was so happy to find the Online Yoga School because the closest teaching facility is 3 hours away from where I live and requires full weekends for several months. With my current employment, that just wasn’t possible.  I feel my yoga journey started somewhat untraditionally and becoming a teacher online is also a fairly new idea, so I think it was a perfect match. I actually love that it’s untraditional, because it’s my path and that’s how it should be.

My focus at the beginning is simply to volunteer. I want to help elderly people who are at nursing homes and assisted living centers. Part of my mother’s decline includes immobility and contractures. If there’s anyone I can help to possibly slow this process down, I would love to try. Thank you for helping me make this possible.

I discovered yoga 3 years ago when my daughter went to college. I felt lost and needed to be doing something to fill the void, she suggested Yoga With Adriene. I started with the Revolution Series to try out and completed the whole month. I haven’t looked back! I practice yoga daily along with meditation.
I had seen Yoga Teacher Training Classes online and in yoga studios over the years, but felt I was too new. Recently I wanted more information regarding Yoga Philosophy and Buddhism so I signed up for a Yoga Teacher Training. I am a new teacher and enjoy incorporating the Yama’s & Niyama’s along with Chakra’s and Ayurveda!
For me, yoga is about finding what feels good in your body, not what’s in magazines and on instagram. I like to combine Vinyasa with Hatha Yoga while maybe throwing in some Yin Yoga but always touching base with the Chakra’s. If time allows I will add some Kundalini Meditations as well!

My first impression of yoga was my mother dragging me there in middle school because I was grounded. Exercise of any kind was a punishment for me for so many years. I remember going, going through the motions, being extremely uncomfortable, thinking about a million other things, but being there whether I liked it or not. A few years later, I remember a specific class she took me to, where at the end of the class while I was laying in corpse pose, I cried and I couldn’t stop. These events seemed insignificant until my mother’s death. What once was a punishment became the only vice that would help me cope with losing her. So when I turned 17 I started going to hot yoga classes and started to build a fire inside of me. That I was the only one in charge of healing and creating ME. Now that I am 24, I can’t imagine my life without yoga. But it amazes me how much my view of yoga has changed over the years, and some days it is just meditation, painting, holding the door open for someone, or practicing headstands. Yoga is everywhere and available at every corner of your life if you’ll let it be. I am so grateful to be able to share my knowledge and love for yoga with others. 

Hello, My name is Nicole Yull. I don't remember my first class at all. Not when it was or where. I've have been practicing yoga for about 10 years but it's probably more like 15. I started practicing regularly a few years ago. And by a few probably more like 5 or 6. There was no aha moment just an I like this stuff moment. I decided to take a 200 hour training in 2019 to teach free outside classes. I love being outside and want everyone else to love it as well. I want people to see the correlation between our practice on the mat off the mat. To show that all pants are yoga pants because yoga is mind, body and soul, ya know...life. Also don't take yourself so serious. Enjoy life.

Brittany Goldman lives in Southern Illinois with her husband, Michael, fifteen-year-old stepson, Nathan, five year old daughter, Kennedy, and four year old daughter, Mackenzie. For nines, she has worked in the education field. First as a junior high teacher and then transitioned from teacher to administrator. She took up yoga after having hip surgery and being limited on exercises, but quickly grew to love the practice. It gave her time to focus on her body and have a little time to get away from the hustle and bustle of being a mom and boss. Soon after finding that yoga was a passion, she decided to become a certified yoga teacher. She looks forward to this new journey and hopes to share her passion with others.

My name is Hailey Robella and I live in San Luis Obispo, CA with my lovely fiance. I have been practicing yoga generally since I was in middle school, but I became very passionate about it in early 2019. I joined a Hot Yoga studio, and it opened my eyes to a world beyond asanas and the physical aspects of yoga. I first realized I wanted to teach yoga after my third month of deep practice, and the ability to change people's lives and help give the tools to ease suffering was an exciting concept. Yoga has become my lifestyle and I practice on a daily basis, at home, in class, and basically everywhere! In the future as I gain more experience, I hope to open my own yoga studio and, in turn, an accepting community where we can all gather to practice different styles of Yoga!

Hello my name is Zoë Fortune. I joined Stephs yoga teacher training intensive and couldn’t have been more pleased with the process. It allowed me to focus on something else in my spare time and apply myself fully when I had the time, unlike other programs that are so demanding. The self paced program really allows time for growth and dedication, the payment plan options is also a huge plus! I am excited to see where this journey takes me now that I have my 200hr certification! 

Rebecca Collins

Hello, my name is Jayla.  I just received my 200 hour yoga teacher certification!  I have always maintained a healthy lifestyle but felt there was something missing.  When I started practicing yoga a few years ago, I knew for me, Yoga was the missing element that would bring all the knowledge I had acquired about exercise and nutrition together for total wellness.  I look forward to a more balanced life and am passionate about helping others use more mindful strategies to also feel happy, healthy and balanced.  

Thank you,

Namaste!

Hello! I’m Katrina and I am absolutely stoked to be teaching yoga! My own practice of yoga stimulated me both physically and mentally and spread positivity throughout my life like a ray of light.  Yoga was the catalyst that changed my perspective on life.  Through teaching, I hope to help you find your innermost strength and hope for you to experience the same jubilation that comes with the success of meeting and exceeding your own personal goals, on and off the mat.

Hi ! My name is Yanisse Quiroz, I'm 37 and a yoga-lover! I've been practicing yoga for  a couple of years after a degenerative syndrome diagnosis (Devics syndrome) which affects my nervous system and I got struggled all over my body, something that I have to live and deal with it for the rest of my life. Some of the symptoms are pain all over my body and bones, strong headaches, can't walk, can't move, can't eat is like an sclerosis very similar to MS ( multiple  sclerosis)....Yoga helped me in the recovery and since then I've been practicing for my own good. I know what pain is believe me,  and I want to share the experience and benefits of this valuable practice by becoming a instructor. I would love to help anyone who is going through any physical pain, but I just realized that Yoga healed and reconnect myself with everything else and I can tell you practicing makes me feel alive!!!

live in Lewiston Idaho.
 I have wanted to share my knowledge and passion for yoga with others for several years and finally decided it was time to get my instructor certification and make teaching yoga a part time career.  I've always been physically active and an avid outdoor sports enthusiast.

I regularly practice breathing exercises twice a day and feel that I have much to offer in this area,

Hi! My name is Tara. I’m 43yrs old. I live in the beautiful Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I love to paddle board in the summer and cross country ski in the winter. I have 2 awesome sons who bring me so much joy. They are 17 and 15 yrs old. I’ve also been a registered nurse for the past 21 yrs. I love the opportunities I have working with people as a nurse. I dream one day that I might be  able to start “yoga for nurses “at the hospital where  I work. Nursing, as rewarding as it is, can also be super stressful. I also lead a fitness/ health group at my church.  I started Fit Chics about 5 yrs ago. We meet every week and workout for an hour then while we discuss our chapters from our book study and eat a healthy/ clean snack. I wanted to encourage women in my church to care what we put in our bodies and how we take care of them physically too. I have gradually started to work in more yoga in my classes. I began this program so I could grow as a teacher and expand my knowledge. I have gained so much from this schooling. I will have knowledge to learn from and share with others. Thank you!!

Hello my name is Kata Király-Paredes I was born and raised in Hungary as a young adult I moved to the US and met my amazing husband . We have 3 beautiful children and they are the reason why I have fallen in love with yoga . The birth of our last baby brought a lot of health issues for me so I set out to be more healthy and started looking for an exercise that would call out to me . I tried so many different things before I found yoga to be honest I lost count . But then a really good friend of mine said why don't I try yoga . Well at first I was hesitant, after my second practice I never wanted to stop and now I have been practicing yoga for over 4 years in the last 2 I became very serious about it . I practice 5 days a week 2 times a day . After living State side for a decade my husband and I decided to move to Hungary so that our children can be closer to my mom and my part of the family . The big move came with big changes and one of them was me finally having the chance to take my love for yoga in a higher level 2 months ago I set out to become a trainer so I can share my love for yoga with others . Since we live in a small town in Hungary I am little the only yoga teacher in an area where people want to know more about yoga but other then online courses they don't really have an option to do so . So I am beyond excited to be able to help and share the amazing benefits of yoga !
Love and peace

"Hello!  I'm Erica and I own Wild Roots Therapy in Billings, MT.  I began yoga shortly after the birth of my youngest child to help manage postpartum anxiety.  The mental and physical changes from engaging in a regular yoga practice have had an amazing impact on my life!  As a occupational therapist I use yoga principles to help children manage PTSD, Anxiety, ADHD and more by improving their internal and external body awareness.  Teaching kids to breathe and connect with their bodies is a wonderful use of yoga principles.  I am looking forward to bringing trauma focused yoga to adults in the coming year too!  You can find Wild Roots Therapy on Facebook, Instagram, and at www.wildrootstherapy.org.  "

Rhi Wilde (RYT 200) has dedicated herself to the practice of yoga since discovering that it helped relieve her depression while she was a teenager. She fell in love with the way yoga made her feel while she was in the poses, and she noticed the positive effects it brought to her life. She felt compelled to share this with the world. 
She has practiced Bikram, Kundalini, Vinyasa and Yin yoga for 25 years. 
Rhi is also a Reiki Master Teacher, which has deepened her understanding of how subtle energy moves in the body and this has improved her practice and her ability to teach and guide others in their own yoga practice.

Hi, I’m Sarah, currently offering Vinyasa Flow yoga classes at
Radcliffe Studios in Chestertown,Md. I’m a long time fitness enthusiast, from cross country skiing, to Stand Up Paddling , and many in between. My husband and I are still patching together the AT, and hope to cycle across the US. My love of running and backpacking , have contributed to my many joint surgeries , and ultimately led me to my love and appreciation for Yoga . I had taught aerobics and Step classes for many years when I first tried Yoga, but liked it right away even though I couldn’t tell you why. I now know that yoga allows you to have a relationship with yourself, connect with yourself and learn to honor and hear your body instead of just pushing it harder and harder. After 12 years of yoga practicing, my husband convinced me to go for the YTT, and so I did!! I’ve enjoyed Stephanie’s nonjudgmental and flexible yet comprehensive approach to Yoga, allowing for personal shine! I look forward to teaching now with that added confidence!
Along with a love of all things outdoors and fitness, I’ve also been a licensed Psychotherapist since 2001. Currently I specialize in treating folks with trauma history, anxiety, depression and other issues. I run women’s empowerment groups and do relationship counseling. I always try to incorporate a wholistic approach into my therapy (mind, body, and spirit) , and of course Yoga fits well into this practice.
Hope to see you on the matt!!

My name is Judy Volhart. I’m a mother, cat lover and author. I’ll be turning 50 this year and started meditation two years ago, to rebuild my mind, then the physical aspects of yoga just over a year ago, in order to rebuild the rest of my body.

Like so many others, my path in life has taken many bumps and curves.  I’ve learned to appreciate the small things, enjoy the moment, be present, and not take life so seriously.

I am not dying of cancer- I am living with it. I am stronger than I have been in twenty years and can do headstands- which I couldn’t even do as a kid! My path in life, for now, is karma yoga, hoping to impact others the way yoga has positively impacted me.

Namaste, Sat Nam, cheers.

My fitness journey 30 years ago and I have grown and learned so much.  As a 10 year yoga instructor I received my first 200 hour certification in 2009 from Yogafit and now have completed by 200 hour certification through Onlineyoga.com!  It has been a wonderful journey and now I am excited to continue sharing the knowledge and education I've learned through this awesome course.  My next venture is to study yoga and eating disorders and eventually my 300 hour certification.  

Thank you and yoga blessings!  :)

Hello, my name is Sarah Banos and I am from Cuba. Yoga had a great impact on me 9 years ago, I describe it as something magical since it brought many benefits to my life as a whole. This led me to combine my two professions, computer science and yoga, thus creating the community of “Dale Yoga A Tu Vida”, with the aim of expanding the great benefits of yoga to as many people as possible, to fill their lives of health and well-being. I have a very clear mission and every day I fall more in love with this amazing discipline that is yoga, that makes me a better version of me every day.

Every day I look for new alternatives to learn, teach and help other people, I currently disseminate my knowledge and teachings through all the platforms that the community has (YouTube, Instagram, Faceboock, etc). I also teach classes and conferences in fitness centers, nutrition club and community places in Colorado USA. And to my surprise, I just opened my own yoga space for the community in the metropolitan area of Denver, Colorado.

Thanks, Yoga, for being every advantage in my life.

Namaste,

Sarah

Kim Rauch

My name is Nancy Thomas and I have been practicing yoga for 9 years. I have always lived an active lifestyle and movement has always been how I self express and move through my emotions. After I had spinal fusion surgery in 2009 I thought an active lifestyle was over for me. A year later when I found yoga I was immediately hooked and knew it would play a big role in my life. Ever since I started practicing yoga I always wanted to become certified to deepen my knowledge of yoga and share it with others. I am so thankful for yoga and how it has enriched my life.

My mission as a yoga teacher is to help people connect to their body and spirit so they can find more peace and strength within them.  
Through practicing ballet I’ve been always conscious about alignment and movement of body but I had never had passion for any physical activities. One day when I was still a student, I borrowed a Yoga VHS cassette from a library and tried Yoga for the first time. An interesting thing is I didn’t notice that I’d been so much into Yoga since the day until someone commented that I must love Yoga if I practice it every single day. I think Yoga practice became so fundamental in my life (like air and water) that I didn’t notice how important it has been to me until I turned my attention to it!  
Since that realization my appreciation to the practice has grown. Soon, I started hoping to connect other people through Yoga practice.  
I have completed 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training course and I am a certified Yoga instructor. I offer classes by accommodating to the students’ different levels, ages and backgrounds, welcoming all to my class!  
I am a native of Japan, currently living in Brooklyn, NY. I obtained my BA at Hunger College and MFA degree at City College of New York, both with English literature and writing major. I find great affinity between writing and practicing yoga, especially in being aware of unveiled self and learning about authenticity of people and the world.  
I hope you find value in my offerings.

Jessica Cenotti is a 200 hr certified yoga instructor and certified Buti Yoga instructor. She has pursued dance as a personal passion from the age of eleven, and discovered yoga as a means to increase strength and flexibility. Although these are wonderful side effects of yoga, she soon realized that yoga was so much more than a physical practice. Jessica embraces the spiritual and emotional benefits of yoga and connects with her classes using intuitive movement and powerful flows that engage all muscles in creative ways. Her classes focus on opening the chakras and connecting to the divine feminine, Shakti energy. Primal movement, strength training, tribal dance and other dynamic variations are incorporated in each class to invite students to embrace the freedom in movement and own their inner and outer strength. She loves to create an empowered yoga community and welcomes students from all backgrounds to come and release what is no longer serving them, discover the beauty of the mind, body connection and most importantly connect to each other.

My name is Jennifer Lindsey, I live in rural Minnesota, USA.  I began teaching yoga as part of my job working with individuals who have experienced domestic or sexual violence.  I have found yoga to be very healing and rewarding for myself and want to help others find that benefit for themselves.  I like to practice traditional yoga and love attending hot vinyasa classes.

My name is Jihyeon Jung and I’m a psychology student and a Body Project Research Assistant. As a body image acceptance activist, I fell in love with yoga because of how yoga makes me feel about my body. When I practice yoga, I try to focus more on the function of my body, and how my body allows me to enjoy yoga. After practicing yoga for a while, I have new respect and love for my body. One of my biggest goal as a new yoga teacher is to help the students to love and respect their body. 
Namaste,
