  • Jen Sloan (she/her) | studio owner + founding teacher

    Blending safe alignment with intentional sequencing, Jen guides students to awaken to their physical + energetic body. Her classes are known to stir the soul, strengthen the body and calm the mind. Because of the transformations she has experienced in her own life, Jen has been called to share this life changing practice with others.  

    Jen’s intention is to guide others towards their own self transformation, using the various tools she has personally experienced + uncovered. Using her knowledge of chakras, yoga psychology, shadow work and meditation, she leads innovative workshops, yoga retreats, mentors yoga teachers and works with clients privately both in person + virtually. In 2022, she opened om shanti yoga as an offering of a physical space to do this work.

  • Lisa Luther (she/her) | managing partner + founding teacher

    My first introduction to yoga was as a student over 20 years ago. What started as a more physical exploration of my body’s capabilities quickly led me to develop an understanding of the emotional and mental benefits that accompanied being in a yoga practice. Now as both a student and teacher, I hope to show others that what you find within your mat practice, can be extended into the practice of daily living. The guiding principles of breath, awareness, discipline, compassion and attention to heart at the core of our yoga practice are essentially principles that help cultivate a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us.

  • Jennifer Basing (she/her)

    There is nothing more honorable than holding a space for transformation, self discovery and healing through our yoga practice. Our body, mind and soul are interwoven and connected through meditation, asana, breath work and even sound. Through my own healing journey I discovered yoga, it changed my life forever and I love offering a safe space for everyone to meet themselves exactly where they are at. Connecting these elements is profound and I love to seal my offerings with the Magic of sound through Crystal Bowl sound bath and Mantra song.

  • Tina Bate (she/her)

    As an occupational therapist with a focus on mobility and strength training, I've always loved helping others to feel more at home in their bodies. 

    I enjoy combining my experience as a therapist, yoga teacher, and empowerment coach to help others gain insight into how to move both intentionally and safely through specific cues, intelligent sequencing, and eclectic inspiration. It’s important to provide an encouraging and supportive space for my students to explore with curiosity yoga as a healing, transformative practice, and be able to take this out of the studio and into everyday life. I truly believe that the greatest gift I can offer as a yoga teacher is to empower others to know that “The best teacher is the one that resides inside you!”

  • Dakota Dawkins (he/him/they/theirs)

    Dakota has developed a deep connection with the practice of yoga over the last 8 years; experiencing the many mental, emotional and physical benefits. Now he shares these ancient teachings of the yoga tradition with you. His classes take a grounded and heart-centered approach as you are encouraged to drop into the present moment and recognise the true essence of yoga, which lies in the meaning of the word; union. Empowering a sense of union within the body and mind is fundamental to his teaching. Meditation, mindful movement, sound healing and philosophical concepts are often explored. Through these practices you are given an array of tools and experiences to inspire a sense of union within the many aspects of yourself (mental, emotional, physical, intellectual). Dakota’s classes are open to all levels and ages, only requirements are an open mind and beating heart!

  • Rosemary Dorsett (she/her)

    By braiding together asana, pranayama, meditation, ritual and evidence-based methods into her teaching, Rosemary provides students with a platform for both inner exploration and communal participation. Her class is carefully sequenced, blending effort and grace to meet each student where they are at. Rosemary is passionate about anatomical alignment, engagement principles and creative prop usage to ensure structural integrity for every body.

    She studied at Sky Ting in New York City under Krissy Jones and Chloe Kernaghan, completing her 200-hr RYT certification in 2017 and a 150-hour mentorship with Jenn Tardif of 3rd Ritual the same year. In 2018, she expanded her offerings to restorative yoga after training with Dr. Abby Paloma. Rosemary draws on tools and techniques from a variety of lineages and traditions, namely Katonah and Iyengar Yoga, and is grateful to and humbled by her teachers who have shared this ancient wisdom with her.

    Debra received her 200 hour yoga teacher certification in 2011 and hit the ground running. She retired from the insurance industry and began teaching yoga immediately after graduation. She received her +300 hour yoga certification in August, 2013 and is an ERYT 500 certified Yoga Teacher.

    Debra has a way of keeping it real & fun and believes focusing on breath and listening to your body are the best ways to prevent injury. She blends the physical with the spiritual – advising her students that “yoga will change your life whether you want it to or not!”

    Debra lives in Jupiter Farms with her husband Chris and her dog Jax!

  • Jane Krebs (she/her)

    I love yoga and I love sharing this practice with others. My interest in this practice started many years ago with at home practices with Rodney Yee until I stepped into my first studio class in 2013 at Kula Yoga Shala. In 2015, I completed my first teacher training at Kula under the direction of Scott Feinberg and Mary Veal, and mentored by Lisa Luther. Lisa has since become my primary teacher, and through her I met Jen Sloan and Sara Eavenson and continued my studies with them by completing my second teacher training in 2020. My first training set a strong foundation for my personal practice and started my teacher's path; my second training provided the opportunity to deepen my personal practice and elevate my teaching. The practice of yoga provides opportunities to explore what nourishes us most through movement, breath control and meditation. I look forward to guiding and exploring this practice with you.
