Tori is a passionate yoga teacher that loves helping her students find peace and feel good. She has completed 500 hours of studying yoga, meditation and chakra work with Raji Thron at Yoga Synthesis. Chakra work, sound healing, breath work, pressure points, energy meridians and intelligently sequencing poses are some of the things she enjoys incorporates into her classes. Before teaching yoga she has taught other sports including her childhood favorite, gymnastics. Being a competitive gymnast during her childhood has taught her correct alignment and body awareness from a very young age. Outside of class she enjoys hiking, gardening, and watercolor painting.

Yoga has always been a part of my life. I started doing it as a little girl with my mother, sisters, and brothers. Everywhere I went, yoga seemed to be there, waiting for me. I love teaching yoga, mostly because I want to evoke a sense of serenity and confidence in others. As we pursue our studies, we develop strength and flexibility.  No matter our age or ability, I believe we all stand to benefit from yoga. The beauty of yoga is learning to listen to our bodies and do what will serve us not deplete us. I especially love teaching Yoga Nidra, helping relieve stress in the hearts of others. Yoga Nidra offers the equivalent rejuvenation of four hours of sleep.

Sonja is a 500-hour Yoga Alliance certified yoga instructor. Yoga found her many moons ago by complete accident, which is one of the best things ever that happened. Why because YOGA leads to happiness.  She didn’t know anything about the Yoga health benefits – but she can confirm it works! The initial attraction of the physical challenge became secondary. More important became the mental aspect, breathing practice (pranayama), and finding stillness and ease. Over the years, she noticed slight improvements like being more patient and less critical or judgmental and consciously enjoying things that she took for granted before. Intrigued by other teachers, curiosity took over one day, and she enrolled in her first 200-hour yoga teacher certification for Structure Yoga. While learning the ins and outs of Yoga, eventually teaching it, and developing her yoga routine, she meets more inspiring teachers who continue to guide and shape not only her practice but encourage her to keep learning even more about Yoga. Eventually, she enrolled at Juluka for her second degree, where she attained her accumulated 500-hour yoga teacher certification. She loves teaching yoga for all levels so everybody can feel included. Therefore she offers plenty of variations. It is essential to her that her students connect to their bodies and learn to listen to their bodies so they can move with ease and lightness through their asanas while growing physically stronger and building flexibility.

Throughout the ups and downs of life, my love of yoga began with meditation to help calm the mind, shortly after, discovering movement on the mat. Attaining balance, letting go and readjusting within each challenging pose required more than physical strength, but an inner-flexibility and stillness of mind enhanced by the breath. That stillness awakened a passion that led me onto a path of teaching others to find resilience and inner-strength through the practice of Yoga. Since becoming a certified yoga teacher, under the tutelage of Mandy Grant and Soon Yoon, I’ve taught a range of students spanning in ages and mobility, from power vinyasa flows to chair yoga. While teaching how to lengthen and strengthen at gyms and studios throughout New Jersey, I also teach chakra-based classes and workshops. Whether on a mat or on a chair, my classes unite mind and body to help access your own inner-guru. Liza is registered with the Yoga Alliance as an RYT-500

Soo has been teaching in the northern NJ/Rockland County, NY area since 2013. She first turned to Yoga after training for running a marathon left her both tight and injured. What was aimed to be a marginal, complementary practice ended up being a life-changing spotlight.

When I first began a practice, at the age of 22, I could never have dreamed of the places this journey would take me. All I knew was that something in me changed. This sudden connection, however small at the time, of my mind and my body, made me want to know more. Becoming a teacher and having the ability to bring this connection to others has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. Everyday I learn and grow as a teacher and as a human. And I am so grateful to share this journey with this community of yogis.
