Morgan discovered yoga as a means to relieve physical and mental tension, and quickly fell in love with how it changed her body, mind, and spirit. She is dedicated to sharing this transformative practice, and is grateful to be recognized as a 500 hour Certified Yoga Teacher through the Marianne Wells Yoga School. As a licensed massage therapist, Morgan brings her love of anatomy to her teaching, guiding her students with proper physical alignment to bring balance and release to the physical body. Her passion lies in teaching students new to yoga and those looking for relaxation and release from stress, anxiety, and depression.

Morgan recognizes the power of movement, breath, and meditation to transform a person’s energy and outlook, and dedicates her classes to creating the space for these shifts to occur.

Kristen Varadian

 

Kristen Varadian I’m a wife, yoga teacher and in my heart living life with loving kindness.  My class intentions are to guide each student in connecting with their breath and body through the presence and awareness that is held within.  What i hope students experience is the ability to rest in awareness as the practice unfolds.  To take this ability to rest in awareness off their mat and hold on to it until they return to their mat.  i have been greatly inspired by Ana Forrest and her 4 pillars to “Walk in Beauty, Breath, Strength, Integrity and Spirit.

Kim has been a student of fitness for over 20 years.  In August of 2011, she left the corporate world to take time out for herself to rebalance and regroup, never realizing she was undertaking a healing journey that would revolutionize her life.  Upon that journey, Kim became a yoga instructor and Reiki Master, completely changed her diet, got off all medications, lost over 25 pounds, took up running, and truly connected her passion for fitness with the piece missing for her – the mind, body and spirit connection. 

 

Today, Kim combines her love for holistic health and wellness to help others ignite their own spark for their personal healing journey.  Kim is passionate about helping others in similar situations transform their life through self-discovery, personal empowerment and the mind-body connection.
