JULIET LORANGER

Recently someone asked me the question, "Why do you teach Yoga?". The response fell effortlessly from my mouth, "I teach Yoga because I practice Yoga. Also because it is a transformative process and I believe everyone should somehow keep connected with the process of transformation." I have always engaged with the hails and fails of being a modern day rock-n-roll woman. Rock-n-roll is in my blood, and now, fortunately, so is Yoga. My personal practice of Yoga is to establish a textural relationship with self inquiry, to nurture the components that lie in the traditions and philosophies of Yoga, On the daily, Yoga helps me stand in my truth as I rock out. My teachings and classes are always to invite students to a place where they rejoice in what is, to educate students about the fortifying qualities of alignment in postures combined with fluency of their breath, to share with them in the discipline that's freely required to transform and to be curious to the teachings of Yoga.

MORGAN FORESTER

My love affair with yoga began over 5 years ago when I walked into a tiny ashtanga studio in Northern Vermont. I would say yoga has changed my life, but I think it simply allowed me to become who I was always meant to be. That feeling is exactly what inspired me to become a teacher, and is something I wish to pass on to every student I can.

My class style is growing and changing, just like any yoga practice, but there will always be a consistent emphasis on proper alignment, therapeutic information and movement, and lots of bad jokes by yours truly. Taking care of your mind & body should be taken seriously, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun and a good laugh along the way.

Morgan completed her 200-RYT with Michelle Fleming at Sanctuary Studios in Plymouth, MA. She is currently studying Orthopedic Yoga Therapy for her 500-RYT certification.

CHRISTIAN KLINE

There are some moments when I am so focused on what I am doing in yoga (and in life). They play out as inquiries…how am I balancing, breathing, contracting, stretching and most importantly what is simple. In those moments the rest of the world is paused because I am figuring out how things work for me in that time and space -- the present —that’s where I think learning takes place. I speak of these moments because they are what I am chasing as a student and what I hold high as potential for students when I teach.

Yoga has been a tremendous tool for self-investigation and a tool for calming my head and helping me take care of my body. I love learning to bring my leg behind my head as a challenge and more so an idea. The benefit of something so physically confusing as how to open my hips, how to be patient, how to be a student, how to listen to what my mind and body truly have to say. Especially the work in how to appreciate the slow changes of my body and my mind – those ideas keep me coming back to my yoga mat and yoga classes.

I have trained with Noah Maze, Bikram Choudhury, and Emmy Cleaves. I’ve spent years teaching yoga and working with teachers that inspire me in one-way or another. I’m invested in learning more and sharing that with as many people as I can.

JONATHAN LEAVER

Jon began his yoga practice in 2004 and since that time has not stopped training. His classes tend to be slower, mindful, and informative. While typically more moderate than gentle, he might always “pull an Emeril” (and kick it up a notch!).

Since graduating in 2009, he has continuously taught classes in SE MA and RI and is still fascinated by yoga and yoga communities. He has also completed YMCA personal trainer course.He loves to attends regular seminars, lectures, and trainings (Judith Lasater, Ed Cardinal, Bo Forbes, Sharon Salzburg, Aadil Palkivala, Amrit Desai, Theresa Murphy, Josh Summers); however these people have never attended his classes (smile)… perhaps you will?

JOHN MONTANO | KUNDALINI YOGA

After travel over ocean and land, after years in journey, I've learned what little I know, but the beauty of the path is a process that starts in our essence. Yoga as practice opens the heart, clears the mind and strengthens the body to start seeing the world as it is.

I'm an architect living and working in Westport, practice different forms of yoga, sails, cycles, skis and often walks. I hold a KRI teacher certification and RYT 200 registered. I trained at the Guru Ram Das Ashram in Millis, MA. Inspired by a great aunt who practiced yoga in her 90's, I took my first Hatha class in 1975, which started my now daily practice. Six years ago at my first Kundalini Yoga class I realized this wandering led me to a path unfamiliar but one to be taken.
