Tiffany
When she's not bending it “like Beckham” on the mat, she trades in her tights for scrubs. She works in the Medical Device industry, where she educates surgeons and their teams about the technical operation of a surgical robot. Within her 10 years in healthcare, she's developed training programs which ultimately sparked her passion for teaching and training. Tiffany feels that to blossom as a teacher, it's important to be a devoted student of life. For this reason, she has trained with Baron Baptist, Mark Stephens and completed an 8 month apprenticeship in Acupressure and Yoga integration programs.
Regardless of the environment, Tiffany is out to help others explore and discover their fullest selves through a better relationship with their mind and bodies.

Megan
Shortly after her teaching career began, Megan suffered a knee injury that forced her back into a beginner practice. Instead of bringing her down, though, she chose to learn from this experience, ultimately making her stronger. Understanding that we are all beginners and there is always more to learn, Megan decided to enroll in her advanced teacher training. Graduating from Three Sisters Yoga in 2018, she received her 500-hour certificate.
Now, with over 10 years of practice and holding over 500 training hours, including restorative and kid’s yoga, as well as building her own business, Find Your You Yoga, she still believes that it is always the beginning. Being a student first and then a teacher teaches her that there is something new to learn from everything.
With a strong focus on alignment, derived from Katonah methodology, Megan’s classes are powerful. Still weaving in a sense of playfulness and creativity learned from her long time mentor, Nick Demos. Her favorite part about teaching is creating a dialogue and connecting with students through hands on assists and adjustments.

Sarah
Sarah discovered yoga when she moved from Boston to the West Coast more than 13 years ago. After years of competitive gymnastics and dance, yoga felt like a natural physical progression. What she hadn't anticipated was the rad journey her physical practice would present beyond the body and into the realm of mind and spirit. Like any great love, yoga challenges her. As a life-long student, yoga continues to be a medium for lessons about personal power, grace and freedom from self-doubt, judgment, insecurity, and fear.
In her yoga classes, Sarah promotes a welcoming and safe environment that realigns her students with the natural gifts already within them— vitality, strength, joy, and intuitive intelligence. She brings her love of dance and choreography to creative vinyasa flow sequences that, through refined attention to breath, physical strength, and mindful movement, connect her students with the expansive freedom and potential of the body-mind. She believes a consistent practice offers the practitioner a pathway to his or her own divine, radiant nature.
Sarah received her yoga teacher training certification (Yoga Alliance RYT 200-hour) through Yoga Mittra, under the guidance of Shelley Williams, Genevieve Pujalet, and Suzy Nece. She considers the lovely Kira Ryder one of her biggest mentors and role models.
She resides in Manhattan Beach, California with her husband Travis and dog Sadie.

Caroline
Caroline’s teaching style is strong yet gentle. Her classes are methodical to ensure safe and fluid sequencing. However, she also encourages students to “take what they need” from her classes: be that taking breaks in Child’s Pose or taking advanced variations of poses. Caroline loves utilizing compelling music to inspire students throughout the class. Whether it’s an energetic beat encouraging you to tap into your power or a soothing melody coaxing you to melt into your inner peace, you can expect a new and different playlist every time.
When she’s not doing yoga, Caroline enjoys the beach, music, dancing, reading and traveling. Caroline is also passionately involved with fostering neonatal kittens for Saving One Life Rescue.
Caroline completed her teacher training at Mukti Yoga School with Jamie Horgan, Heather Archer, and Chelsea and Matt Rothert.

I am so grateful to be teaching in the Los Angeles community, with so many opportunities to continue to learn and grow. I am registered with the Yoga Alliance at the E-RYT 500 level and offer classes for all levels of students. I am also registered with the International Association of Yoga Therapists, recently completing the two year certification program in Yoga Therapy from Loyola Marymount University. I am part of the physical education department at a private school in Rolling Hills, California, teaching children's yoga for the first through sixth grade. The kid's yoga classes are so playful, and they help me to feel lighter, letting go of the restraints that we learn as adults, reminding me to bark like a dog and meow like a cat when I stretch!
