	Abby, Certified Jivamukti Teacher, RYT, ERYT, Partner - House Of Yoga When I was eighteen, I visited my Aunt in Encinitas, Ca. who introduced me to her Guru, Gurumayi Chidvilasananda. With Gurumayi, I chanted Om Namah Shivaya during a transformational weekend in her loving presence. Her energy resurfaced in my life, years later, when I realized I was following the path of yoga. The practice of Ashtanga led me to find Jivamukti Yoga. I completed my second teacher training in Spring 2005 with David Life and Sharon Gannon, founders of the Jivamukti method, with their blessings, I share this amazing gift of yoga.
	Shannon (Shanti) grew up sitting in the laps of Sri Swami Satchidananda and Sadguru Sant Keshavadas. She began practicing yoga at the age of 4 at the Integral Yoga institue in Detroit, founded by Sri Swamin Satchidananda. Over the years she has maintained her connection to Swami Satchidananda through personal retreats at his ashram (Yogaville). She began practicing at House of Yoga in 2011. She feels that through the practice of Yoga you can "know your true Self".
	Lauri, RYT Lauri is a graduate of House Of Yoga's Teacher Training Program. "Through yoga, we practice balancing the body, suspending the mind and opening the heart. Yoga allows us to uncover the sense of well being, happiness and peace that has been inside all along."
	Nick, RYT Nick was introduced to yoga and meditation at WSU. He was fascinated to learn that yoga was much more than physical exercise. From this point the fire was lit inside Nick and he knew yoga would become an extraordinary influence over his life. Nick's background includes emergency room care, nutrition and food science. Therefore, balance plays an important role in his life. Yoga to Nick is not just a physical experience of body and breathwork, but a joy-filled approach to living in the world where in going deeper also means going lighter.

	Dave, RYT + ERYT Partner - House Of Yoga I believe that the ultimate goal of yoga is self realization and increased strength and flexibility are simply the natural results of consistent practice. The physical practice is a means to greater health and balance, eventually leading to an exploration of the more subtle aspects of yoga as taught in the yoga sutra
	Barbara, RYT Through the practices of yoga – a journey that began twelve years ago, Barbara discovered yoga was not only physically rejuvenating, it improved mental acuity, sense of grace, balance and overall well-being. The art and practice of yoga offers an ongoing opportunity to explore and expand physical and mental limits. Barbara is ever grateful for the opportunity to have studied with Linda Kay-Nathan, her teacher and mentor.
	Jeremy, LLMSW, RYT Jeremy began practicing yoga in 1995 and is continually expanded and awed by this exploration. Also working as a mental health professional addressing trauma, stress, and mental illness, Jeremy pays special attention to personal safety and growth through yoga and other holistic methods. Gentle flow, breath, restoration, and deepening awareness are recurring elements in his yoga practice as both student and teacher. In gratitude to the many teachers who have shared their wisdom and practice.
