Julie

Julie began her yoga practice in 2003 in Boston, Massachusetts, in the United States. She studied at the Baron Baptiste Power Yoga Studios where she practiced Power Vinyasa Yoga, a dynamic flow, which synchronizes breathing and movement. Julie also apprenticed as a teacher’s assistant at Prana Power Yoga in Boston where she learnt how to guide, nurture and help students deepen their practice. It was here that she began to appreciate and understand the connection and energy between the student and the teacher.

Julie trained as a teacher in Bali, Indonesia at Shakti Spirit Yoga with Rachel Hull. Along with a strong Ayurvedic component, the course taught a much gentler form of Vinyasa Flow Yoga, focusing on safety and touching upon yoga as a form of physical therapy. Most recently, she completed an advanced vinyasa intensive under the guidance of Edward Clark and Nikki Durrant of Tripsichore Yoga.

Julie is a Yoga Alliance Registered teacher at the 200 hour level (RYT200). Today, Julie incorporates all of her past experiences into her teaching style. She teaches Hatha Yoga, Power Yoga, Vinyasa Flow and Yoga Nidra. She teaches students at all levels including those who have never practiced yoga before. She hopes that students will walk away from her classes with a sense of peace, joy and positivity.

Khoun

Luang Prabang native, Khoun, trained as a teacher in Bangkok at Yoga Elements Studio with Adrian Cox. Khoun has a love for yoga that is apparent in the genuine energy that she brings to her classes. She has practiced Hatha, Ashtanga and Vinyasa Flow, which she combines to create classes that are both strong and relaxing at the same time.

Khoun guides her students through their practice with dedication and precision, which means that while she is nurturing, she also focuses on proper alignment techniques. Students in Khoun's classes will be gently encouraged to find their edge and to practice steadily around this edge.

Khoun often makes use of props and wall exercises as tools for finding the correct alignment. Her classes are suitable for students of all levels, including complete beginners. She has played an active role in introducing yoga to the local community. Students will be challenged and energized, but most importantly, they will connect with the feeling of overall wellbeing and content.

Antje

Antje practiced different types of yoga for 15 years until she moved to Thailand for a job. In Chiang Mai she started practicing Ashtanga and Vinyasa on a regular basis and only then did the Prana really hit her and she understood what is meant by 'Yoga is something I am, not something I do'. She wanted to learn more about the philosophy behind this movement therapy and spread the Love. Numerous workshops and the iflow Teacher Training in Ubud, Bali with Amy Pastore gave her the knowledge and courage to find 'her kind of yoga' and teach it. Antje's teaching style is fluid, modern, playful and dancy, reflecting the many sports and different types of yoga that have influenced her practice. She has been teaching yoga locally and internationally since 2013. Her classes are a perfect balance between intensity and centering and will leave students feeling high and smiling for hours.

Sansany

My name is Sansany and I have been teaching yoga for more than 3 years. I first taught yoga as a part time job until 2020, when I made the switch to teach full time. After a short break during the Covid-19 pandemic, I returned to teaching in 2022 when the borders opened once again to tourists.

I attended my first yoga class in 2008, but began a more consistent practice in 2014 when I found my passion for yoga. A friend from Egypt inspired me to become a teacher, just like him.

I attended a yoga retreat in Nong Khiaw, Luang Prabang, Laos in 2016 and I completed the 200-hour Pranaya Yoga Teacher Training at Wild Rose Yoga in Chiang Mai, Thailand in July, 2017. In 2022, I completed a second 200-hour teacher training in Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga at Ananda Yoga Shala in Rishikesh, India.

I teach yoga with passion and love sharing energy. My favorite style is Vinyasa Flow and I currently teach Vinyasa and Ashtanga Vinyasa Primary Series, and Yin Yoga

She went on to complete a Bachelors of Arts degree in dance and enjoyed a nearly 10 year professional career with a modern dance company touring all over California and various festivals across the United States. She began teaching the Pilates Method in 2007 having hands on experience with everyone from professional athletes to senior citizen to people recovering from surgeries, injuries, and pre/post childbirth.

Teaching people from all over the world has given Allison yet another layer of unique perspective to understand a wide variety of students. You can expect her classes to be detail oriented and in depth while having a sense of inclusivity so that everyone may reap the benefits of the practice.
