NANCY GOODSTEIN
Nancy Goodstein has been an Ashtanga and Hatha yoga teacher for nearly twenty years in which time she has taught and traveled around the world in her studies. She is grateful to have had the wonderful teachings of Sri K Pattabhi Jois, Dena Kingsburg, Shari Friedrichson, Alan Finger, Lisa Walford, Erich Shiffman and more. They have shared their knowledge while encouraging her to find and speak from her own truth. She feels this is the greatest thing she can pass on to her students as well.
KYRA HAGLUND
Kyra teaches yoga in a compassionate, knowledgeable, and energetic
manner. She views yoga as a multilayered journey that inspires greater
understanding of and connection to the true Self within. She draws on
her background as a dancer to evoke inner grace and balance in a safe,
creative environment.
Kyra lived and studied in both
India and Nepal, having practiced extensively with Pattabhi Jois and
Sharath Rangaswamy. She also received certification to teach from
Acharya V. Venkatesh of the Atma Vikasa Center in Mysore, India. Most
recently, she has had the privilege of studying with and assisting Max
Strom. Kyra's classes are holistic explorations of the mind, body and
spirit

SHARI FRIEDRICHSEN
Shari has been teaching yoga for over 30 years. Her passion for yoga
has taken her to Europe, India, Nepal and throughout the U.S. to study
with well-known and respected teachers in all aspects of yoga.
For the last 20 years her deep exploration of the chakra system has refined her experience of yoga and has greatly inspired her teaching. For 18 years her in-depth study of meditation under the guidance of two masters from India has informed and strengthened her teaching. Shari began training teachers in 1990 in Portland, Oregon, and conducts regular trainings in Seattle and at the Himalayan Institute. She teaches classes and workshops in Honesdale, Las Vegas, Seattle, Cedar City and at Santa Monica Yoga. She has published two articles on asanas in Yoga International magazine and one on the Yoga Sutras in the Seattle & Eastside Yoga Quarterly. In 2004 she was the "Ar t of Asana" model for Yoga International and twice was the cover model for the same magazine.
"The teacher training was wonderful, challenging, fun and scary. The teachers were awesome - honest and loving, and each brought her own unique flavor and experience. Even if you don't want to teach yoga (and you may change your mind!) I recommend this class as a way to deepen your practice and unravel a few layers of yourself along the way."
