“Yoga is the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind”.
Yoga Sutras of Patanjali , Sutra 1.2
Rachel Segurola
Founder / 500 RYT Yoga Instructor
For Me, yoga began as a personal practice and dedication to personal wellness. With a background in martial arts, I resonated with the rigorous Ashtanga Yoga practice. Through dedication to the practice, I found the stillness of the mind, awareness of the body and reflection of the spirit. After six years of committed personal practice I journeyed to the ashram at Shoshoni in Colorado. At Shoshoni, I lived on the Ashram, performed seva, practiced meditation, and experienced the various disciplines of yoga daily while training to complete my first traditional 200 hour Hatha yoga teacher training. Since then, I have been teaching , attended many workshops for continuing education and completed a 300 hour Atmananda Vinyasa training , an Ashtanga & Iyengar influenced lineage that focuses strongly on Alignment.

Founder / 500 RYT Yoga Instructor, PRYT 85hr
Namaste! I am Kristina, I found my passion and love for movement at an early age. I grew up as a dancer in Louisiana and found my way to the Big Apple. Upon my move to Miami, I found yoga. I trained under the guidance of Jhon Tamayo with the Atmananda Yoga Sequence. Under his wing, I completed my RYT 500hr Teacher Training Certification. Since completion, I was honored to lead and assist with numerous Yoga Teacher Training Programs alongside Jhon. I continued my Yoga Education with Passion Yoga School, SoulWorks, Prenatal Yoga certification. I experienced this training while pregnant and eager to help other moms on their journeys through motherhood. I am currently working with Nurses for Day Care in creating a prenatal/postnatal curriculum accessible for a home visiting care model. As a dancer, I’m no stranger to injury, which is why my focus when teaching yoga is on safe alignment with a full understanding of one’s anatomy and kinesiology. I curate the classes for you. We can take our lessons slow flowing and stretchy or with a bit more fire and power. I will honor your goals with diligent care and attention.
