Having studied exclusively with Master Paulie Zink, Shanti teaches the pure art of Taoist yoga. This unadulterated style is the "flow" yoga that was originally developed by Taoist priests in northern China and directly passed onto Master Paulie Zink.

Lindsey Griffiths

(she/her) Started her yoga practice as a supplement to her ballet training and was immediately hooked! Her history of movement through dance, and yoga spans over three decades. Through yoga, Lindsey was able to cultivate a deeper connection with her body & breath that helped her find stillness and relief from the ever present stress & anxieties of daily life.

Lindsey's classes are playful, a little sweaty, and focused on building internal heat through thoughtfully paring breath with movement. Lindsey works hard to ensure that her classes are a safe & inclusive space for all!

"The thing about yoga that inspires me the most is the realization that our breath is truly our superpower! Paring our breath with our movement allows us to calm our anxieties, quiet our minds, and truly experience life in the present moment."

KUNDALINI TEACHERS

Farion Pearce, Anna Soberanis, Lida Martin, and Tracey St. Johns.

This dedicated group of teachers take turns leading Kundalini Yoga,
Saturdays at 11:15 –12:45pm

Lida Martin

Lida Martin is passionate about energy and creativity and how yoga enhances our health and well-being. Lida has practiced yoga since the age of 13. She taught yoga for many years in Kauai starting in 2004, starting with Hatha Yoga, then Vinyasa, Restorative and Prenatal Yoga.

After multiple ankle surgeries and two hip replacements, she began a search for a new expression through yoga that was more devotional and adaptive to her physical body. She then discovered and has been practicing Kundalini Yoga for many years and became certified. 

Kundalini Yoga is a joy to experience and share, especially the healing sounds of the symphonic gong!! Lida also is a Sound Healer offering private and group meditations and sessions, a Reiki Master, Massage Therapist, Energy Healer, Watercolor Artist, and she teaches Visioning and Vision Board Classes and The Artist's Way. She is a licensed Practitioner at the Centers for Spiritual Living.

Farion Pearce

Farion (Mahan Adi Kaur) has been committed to the path of yoga since 1971, when she met her Raja Yoga teacher, Helene Vreeland, who was a disciple of Mataji Indra Devi, who along with Sivananda and Iyengar were disciples of Krishnamacharya. She studied with her for 34 years, maintaining a personal daily practice ever since. A few years ago, when she started wanting to do yoga in a class setting again, she re-discovered Kundalini Yoga, which she had also been exposed to many years ago; she found this  Yoga of Awareness to be the fulfillment of her lifetime spiritual longing.

It is her experience that the claim that Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan is a science in which every aspect of its practice is aimed at awakening and expanding our consciousness is truly fulfilled. At 71 years of age, she has never felt as healthy, alive, loving and intuitive as she has since she started her regular practice of Kundalini.

Mark Thayer

After successfully navigating a series of life shifting events, Mark discovered Yoga and finally made it to the mat in the spring of 2015. He began practicing yoga asana, breathwork, meditation along with yogic philosophy and found the work to be inviting, easily accessible yet intimately personal and challenging also curiously familiar; like surfing, like a stepping off into liquid. His newly found practice also gave new breath and perspective to the religious preference he associates with, enhancing those rituals and experiences. He was all in!

   Mark began the path of a teacher in 2018 and is now 200hr RYT Yoga Alliance certified in Kundalini and Hatha yoga as well as a 40hr IKYTA certification with yoga for youth.
Mark maintains a personal practice of selfcare and is constantly in the books, on the mat in the studio as well as expanding the teaching off the mat and into his world; curiosity drives his pursuit of Yogic philosophies, asana, breathwork and meditation that align his life to purpose, bolster his teaching skills, keep him authentic and humble and just a pleasant guy to be around.

Jaci Maloney

Growing up with a background in dance, yoga was a natural progression on my life path and the perfect addition to my birth work.

Pregnancy an birth offer women an incredible opportunity to experience a renewed sense of strength and power of their bodies. I believe that with emotional, physical and educational support pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period can be times of amazing empowerment and growth as a woman. Using the postures of yoga as well as the breath and meditative qualities are a perfect way to prepare your body, mind and spirit for your birth journey. This belief defines my practice as a prenatal yoga instructor, natural childbirth educator, birth doula, massage therapist and placenta encapsulator. Serving the Ventura birth community since 1990.

Paige Harris

As a lifelong dancer, yoga was a fun transition for Paige to make. She began her yogic journey after discovering a passion for Ayurveda at the age of seventeen. Using ayurvedic practices and treating food as medicine, Paige began to heal her body and her mind, it wasn't until she began practicing yoga that she had the time and space to begin to heal her spirit and relationship with greater consciousness. 

          On her path to becoming a somatic healer Paige studied yoga in Bali where she earned her 200hr RYT teacher training certificate; it was there where she found a love for fiery Hatha classes and flowy Vinyasas. She loves to incorporate fluidity and connection to breath in her practice and allows the asana sequences to unfold like choreography. 

           Paige makes a point to create space for devotional practices in her classes so please feel welcome to bring a totem or talisman to place at the top of your mat for your class. 

Chris Roberts

Chris is a serious yoga practitioner. His background in movement includes a United States NCAA springboard diving championship, years of modern dance, and 35 years of yoga. He enjoys the spirituality and community of yoga as a teacher and student. 

Chris builds mental and physical balance among his students. The focus is to move toward equanimity through body movement, breath work and thoughtful attention. . 

Chris is well grounded in anatomy, body movement and restorative therapy. Warm-up and calming down are important session elements. 

My goal is to continue physical and-spiritual yoga growth. I strive to convey the physical and spiritual benefits of yoga to all who seek it.

Loren Pennington, Youth Aerial Dance Instructor

Loren Pennington

Meet miss Loren! She learned about her passion for all things dance at nine years old when she joined her first dance team. Growing up with a single mom who worked hard to provide for all five kids while also pushing all of them to fulfill their dreams propelled her into her passion for  dance even more. It wasn’t until she reached the ripe age of 32, after having a child and raising a family that she found aerial dance. She leaned all the way back into her heart, but this time,  she took on a new way to move…in the air Aerial dance has lifted this woman, mother, lover of dance into a whole new dimension. She found a whole new way to move into her body, in the air, and with that, she found MAGIC. She is in LOVE with teaching kids and adults how to dance in the air.  She started teaching 3 years ago and has choreographed and held performances for her students for their families and friends to attend. Her beginner/intermediate students perform after her 6 week program with a theme, a choreographed dance, costumes, lighting (sometimes props) and music. Her program encourages student’s freedom through development of physical strength, flexibility and body awareness….Incorporating skillsets from gymnastics, acrobatics, and dance, aerial helps to develop student’s confidence and creative expression through movement.
