I began my practice over a decade ago in an attempt to metabolize deep grief and to understand the human condition through my own. After countless hours of practice + self study I began to shed the protective layers of my personality. I found myself thinking less and feeling more. I know now that our true nature is to love and to move from a space of open hearted compassion. I aim to get students back to this simple truth.In my classes, elements of Ashtanga, Kundalini Gosh + Katonah Yoga are woven together to create a rigorous inward exploration of the self.&nbsp; I also use vedic meditation, mantra and kriya as tools to reach higher states of consciousness through the physical form.&nbsp;My goal is for practitioners to leave with a stronger connection to themselves and to all sentient beings.&nbsp;Tony Lupinacci, Yoga + Meditation Teacher, E-RYT 500Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tonylupinacci/">@tonylupinacci</a>Preferred Pronoun: He/Him&nbsp;

Tiffany’s rigorous academic study of the human body has led her to understand the body as an autobiography, unconsciously written in the present moment with past thoughts, emotions and movements that linger to distort the body and mind. Tiffany believes that with a nuanced understanding of how the body works, one can more consciously become the author of their body’s story. For Tiffany, yoga is the pencil AND eraser.Tiffany has seen how yoga can make the impossible possible, not only physically as in now you can touch your toes, but emotionally in being able to heal from past trauma. She understands that for movement of any kind to be functional, it must first be available. Her desire is to facilitate the limitless transformation that yoga can bring.She is grateful for the guidance and wisdom from all her past teachers, but would especially like to thank Schuyler Grant for teaching her an advanced, creative sequencing that flows with the breath, challenges the body and stimulates the mind. Jason Brown for giving her a thorough understanding of the bones, muscles, connective tissues, common injuries and modifications for the yogic body. Zachary Dacuk for expanding her understanding of anatomy from a reductionist, individual muscle approach, to the complete myofascial system of conscious embodiment. Zach also taught Tiffany to recognize where the body deviates from neutral alignment and how to bring it back with yoga. Last, but not least, Diana Zotos and the teachers of <a href="https://www.threesphysiyoga.com/">Physiyoga</a> for sharing their knowledge of pathologies, assessments of imbalances/suboptimal patterns and a systematic approach to bring about less pain and more strength into the body through yoga.Tiffany recently moved to Minneapolis and is thrilled to be attending Center Point’s East West Therapeutic Bodywork School where she is&nbsp;integrating Asian Shiatsu Amna with Western Swedish Massage. She strives&nbsp;to be a catalyst for healing imbalances at the internal/energetic level with shiatsu, at the physical/myofascial level with massage and at the spiritual level with the movement and breath of yoga.Preferred Pronoun: She/HerInstagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/fitsofjoy/?hl=en">@fitsofjoy</a>

Drawing from a family of yoga practitioners and teachers, Jon was introduced to yoga early but took his time to fall in love with the practice and make it his experience. That love was initially propelled by the physical practice and defiance of gravity but now defined by the vast power the breath has over the body + mind. Jon’s classes are designed to connect the muscular with the mystical body. His classes are centered around mindful alignment, creative sequencing, self-awareness, pranayama, offer a physical challenge, and are constructed to offer an experience. Jon's training ranges from extensive study with The Sacred Fig and Katonah Yoga to work with Threes Physiyoga, AcroYoga, and various bodywork modalities.Jon splits time between New York and <a href="https://www.cocoonportugal.com/">Cocoon Portugal</a>, his home away from home.

I've been teaching yoga and various other movement practices for over 20 years. For me, yoga has become a practice of curious self-inquiry. Tias Little calls yoga one of the great "internal arts" which is what it feels like to me. During my self practice I look inward and explore my organs, tissues, boundaries, emotions. I'm not only interested in my own 'internal art" but am also continuously refining and codifying a language I can use to help me guide others to go inward. I believe once we have turned our attention inward with a sense of wonder, we are often better in our relationships. When we are better in our relationships we are better citizens in the world. I teach at <a href="http://www.kulayoga.com/kula/">Kula Yoga Project</a> in NYC and specialize in working with private clients and teaching other teachers. My favorite aspect of leading trainings is getting to witness others take the grace, intelligence, and generosity they already have within and bring it all to light while they teach. I travel around the world leading retreats and workshops on anything from the spine to inversions to pranayama.

Using a non-dogmatic approach, Grace views the physical practice of yoga as gateway, not an end in itself. For her, the practice of yoga asana teaches us to not only broaden the breath, but also to expand stillness within ourselves. To inhabit that space more frequently and more comfortably is her ultimate goal, in practice, and in teaching. Her vinyasa classes are fun and creative, with attention to technique and alignment. They include variations suitable for all levels of experience.As an ambassador for Lolë Women, Grace was chosen to lead the Lolë White Yoga Tour sessions in Toronto, Edmonton and Paris - an event that brings together thousands of people for uplifting yoga sessions dedicated to peace.Grace’s teaching is rooted in a deep personal exploration of the Ashtanga Vinyasa system. An individual’s journey inward must ultimately lead back outward, to engagement with the community. This realization inspired her to deepen her commitment to development projects, both locally and abroad with the belief that the ultimate goals of yoga are not intended to be confined to the mat.Preferred Pronoun: She/HerInstagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gracedubery/?hl=en">@gracedubery</a>

Hi there! My name is Marco (he/him), and I am thrilled to share my journey with you.&nbsp;For the past 15 years, I have immersed myself in many creative realms, ranging from being a multidisciplinary artist and designer to a yoga teacher. Today, I find myself at the intersection of these paths, and every day I am incredibly excited about the potential of this synergy.I believe that bringing ideas into existence is an exploratory dance between our internal and the external worlds. It's a dynamic action and reaction, a continuous flow of give and take, that enables us to recognise our true intention and purpose.Together, the coming together of artistry and contemplation invite for self-discovery, helping to cultivate new ways of being and fostering transformative change. They remind us that we are not alone on our journey, emphasizing that empowerment can be found in togetherness. Whether through the shared experience of a yoga class or the collaborative nature of creative projects, these practices highlight the importance of community, mutual learning, and collective growth.Instagram: @marco_miehlingWebsite: <a href="http://www.marcomiehling.com/">www.marcomiehling.com</a>

A former nomad and a southern girl at heart, I am a lover of the unknown and seeker of the extraordinary. Drawn to yoga’s non-competitive and healing nature, I am passionate about helping people explore, connect with, and embrace every unique part of themselves.My teaching approach is rooted in the simple truth that feeling connected to the greater collective starts with our connection to ourselves. I wholeheartedly believe that the breath is one of the most powerful tools we can use to master our lives, and design my classes to spark self-awareness and curious self-inquiry - whether through intentional, invigorating, and functional movement or through the quiet, reflective practices of yin yoga.I believe embracing life's polarities and mysteries can create a profound space for growth and expansion. My offerings are informed by my extensive studies with Katonah yoga and Vipassana meditation, with threads of Five Element Theory, Kundalini, and Kula yoga methodologies.When not teaching yoga, you can most often find me exploring the world, getting lost in the woods, cuddling with my dog, or experimenting in the kitchen :)Instagram: @katkyates<a href="http://www.katyates.com/">www.katyates.com</a>

Having always carried a passion for the healing arts, I’ve infused this inquiry into most aspects of my life. From academics through to motherhood, I’ve felt a consistent calling toward “the healed life” which eventually rooted me in the world of wellness. With over a dozen years of experience, I have taught in a variety of different roles, contexts, and countries, and yet the consistent throughline has been one of sacred empowerment.&nbsp; Working with clients, I quickly realized that without agency, personal responsibility, and integrity, healing becomes impossible. And thus, it is those qualities that I work to instill and promote as the foundation of a healed life.&nbsp;I hold an MA from New York University in the humanities which allowed me to study how culture utilizes ritual as a means of transcendence. From Mark Rothko’s color fields to Candomlé rituals involving percussion and dance, I dedicated my time in academia to researching methodologies that allowed predominately oppressed peoples and cultures to transcend their sufferings. It was evident to me then, as it is to me now, that empowerment was a critical component of this transcendence.Ultimately, however, it has been my own search for healing and empowerment that has informed my work the most profoundly. I have an intimate relationship with the practices in which I teach and work to transmit their efficacy with the deepest respect possible.Perhaps my greatest teachings (and learnings) have come from motherhood, as it is those lessons in softening, patience, and nurturance that encouraged me to create <a href="https://www.mothernidra.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">MotherNidra</a>, a company rooted in compassionate listening and witnessing.Preferred Pronoun: She/Her&nbsp;
