​My name is Olive and I am an expat from the United States. I have been studying yoga for over 7 years through several modalities - vinyasa, yin/restorative, hatha, and bikram, but I mainly offer vinyasa and restorative yoga. I have earned a 200 hour Yoga Teacher Alliance Certification in Karma Yoga. The exploration and integration of Karma yoga in my daily life nurtures and aligns with my work in social services. I have worked in social services for the last 6 years and therefore, in my yoga practice incorporate and move from a client-centered, trauma informed, and anti-oppression framework. As they say, "we have issues in our tissues", and through breath and movement in a safe environment, I believe we can release and grow.

​I feel honored to be able to support my students in this. Yoga is a vessel of self love and exploration which extends beyond the mat; where we can learn to deepen our radical self acceptance and love together in order to bring light into the world. I believe in creating accessibility and inclusion, and that honoring yourself is the truest and full expression of a pose. As a karma yogi, I understand yoga as a means within the interconnection of not only the mind, body, and soul but community, earth, and infinite.

Karen Love
Born - Sydney, Australia
Birthday - January 8th

After over a decade of practicing, and five years teaching yoga, Karen has come to the conclusion that she loves it deeply, both as a teacher and a student. She teaches a soul-nourishing heart-centered class, with a strong focus on alignment and breath. Her Slow Flow class is a fusion of all of the traditions she has been trained in, bringing a variety of energy from around the globe ,with a Slow Flow that softly melts into a restorative yin flavor, then ending gently with a Yoga Nidra styled savasana. 

"My parents both practiced yoga. And from a young age, I had learned meditation and practiced the Satyananda tradition of yoga. My first step onto the mat felt like I had returned home, to myself and to my heart. Yoga is the only constant in my life, regardless of life’s ups and downs, no matter age, or time, or finance… yoga is there. 
Yoga has no prejudices and no judgments."

Karen also loves to paint, cook, and hike in nature. You will find Karen in the ocean or traveling to remote destinations around our planet.  She has been teaching full time for about 5 years all over the world from Costa Rica at various health resorts as well as private classes and retreats in Central and South America. Since returning home she taught in Byron Bay. Currently, she is teaching full-time classes and retreats in Cusco and the Sacred Valley, Peru

Hola, mi nombre es Analee.  My yogini story began when I first attended a Bikram yoga class at the age of 14-years-old.  After class, I went to the yoga studio bathroom to wash my hands and I read a poem that described the meaning of “Namaste”.  In that moment, the course of my life was forever changed, for my soul awoke and spoke to me the words of my life’s purpose – to connect authentically to that essence of Namaste.  I have been a practicing yogini ever since.        

Prior to my yogini awakening, I have been an athlete and health fanatic for my entire life, leading me to pursue many sports, healthy foods, lifestyles, mindsets, and positive behaviors.  Part of my belief and practice is that each person contains infinite growth and healing potential within their bodies, and it is our birthright to access this.
​
Then, as I went through school and began to develop my own mind, I went face-first, head-over-heels into how our minds also carry this infinite growth and healing potential capacity, and that our minds and bodies are indeed intertwined profoundly.  And with my yogini soul-coding activated, I began processing wisdom, knowledge, and all life experience holistically through the shared relationships of each my mind, body, and spirit.  Naturally, I have found myself academically and professionally pursuing these mind, body, spirit relationships so that we may individually and collectively learn to harness our unconditional power towards the reality of our blissful self-actualization.
 
“I honor the place in you in which the entire Universe dwells.  I honor the place in you which is of Love, Light, Truth, and Peace.  When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, we are One. Namaste.”

Breanna Heil
Born - Wisconsin, USA
​Birthday - April 29th 

Bre grew up in a small town in Wisconsin where yoga was not something people talked about, much less practiced. As a competitive swimmer at university, looking for something to do about her chronic anxiety and depression, she signed up for a free yoga class on her campus. Little did Bre know that her first step on that rented purple mat in 2008 – with her seemingly mystical yoga teacher lugging a portable black boom-box – would start to shape her journey in life.
 
Bre holds over 800 hours of internationally recognized training and has been teaching since 2013 in different countries around the world. While her background is in Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa and Forrest, Forrest yoga is her specialty and where her heart is. Forrest yoga, in addition to being a constantly evolving practice, makes Bre feel alive and empowered. The practice has allowed Bre to step into her power not only as a teacher but also as an individual.
  
Bre's classes offer a dynamic yet healing approach, focusing on connecting to feeling. Her classes emphasize awareness, breath, and integrity so you may develop and deepen the relationship with your authentic self.  Bre will guide you to celebrate what you can do, and identify with the truth that you are enough.
