Nya began her journey with yoga to heal her scoliosis, but came to realize its healing powers ran much deeper as it slowly transformed her life. Dedicating herself to the ancient teachings of Yoga and Ayurveda has aligned her with her path, leading her to Maine all the way from her home in Hawai'i. Trained in 2017 under Raj Patra of Universal Yoga lineage and has a BA in Psychology. “Yoga is not just a means for fitness and bodily health, but also a lifestyle path that guides you toward inner-peace and a life of living compassion” She may look young but beware of her very old knowing and serene soul. She works as a Social Worker, plays guitar, writes, hike and trains in Jiu-Jitsu.
Jackie Just. Jackie is here to share her beautiful sequencing and practice of Prana Vinyasa under the Shive Rea style. You’ll enjoy the creative yet steady gradual flowing of the practice. Jackie incorporates her love of aromatherapy, ayurveda, yoga philosophy and mythology, and the energetic principles of Prana (the vital movements of energy) into each practice. All classes are tailored to the students who show up and can be modified for all levels of practice from beginners to experienced yogis.

Bikram teacher since 2012. Trained in Shivanda, Vinyasa, Yin and Fusion Hot Yoga. With all her experience, she still loves the Bikram 90min session - “We literally come to watch ourselves evolve and see our practice evolve from breath to breath in front of the mirror…as we reach to that simplicity, inner happiness and good energy when we get in touch with ourselves on the mat”. This lady inspired me to reach for the stars and have the self belief to go for teacher training when she was teaching Bikram back in Jakarta years ago. A full cycle with her coming here to teach.

Each day is different and yet it has consistency. Watching the lives of others shift and change for the better gives me great honor in teaching this practice”
