Michelle
Stobart.
Yoga has been a part of my daily life and inspiration
since 1997. In 2003, because of the delicious, connected,
and peaceful feeling I felt after each practice, I
decided it selfish to not share this with the world.
So, I set out to make it part of my life's work to
teach others the beauty and wonder that a living yoga
practice has brought me. I received my yoga training
from teacher and friend, Clayton Horton, at Greenpath
Yoga in San Francisco, CA. The more I practice and
learn, the more I realized that yoga is constantly
opening me in ways beyond just new flexibility and
strength within my body. It is my hope and aspiration
to share the experiences and benefits of my own living
yoga practice with as many people as I can. As I teach,
I try to help people open up to a greater joy and
peace that comes from within and an ease of living
within their own bodies comfortably. I incorporate
the power and beauty of nature in my teachings, leading
people into a way to draw energy from the Earth and
live upon it with a lighter footprint. I have spent
the last several years developing an open exploration
of Vinyasa as defined by many different teachers,
Tripsichore being my main influence. My workshops
and classes, through various traditional and non-traditional
methods, are designed to help people begin to connect
to an authenticity deep within, find their inner creativity
and flow, and learn to live their yoga not just on
the mat but in all aspects of life. .................

Liz
Rhodes.I
Grew up in Chicago, IL and moved to Amherst, MA to
attend the University of Massachusetts. I received
my bachelor's degree in psychology there in 2006.
After spending my senior year at UMass cultivating
a love of philosophy, in particular the philosophies
of love and nonviolence as articulated by Martin Luther
King and Gandhi, I moved on to begin work on a Masters
in Philosophy at Ohio University in Athens, OH. During
my time in Amherst I also began to explore my passions
for food and healthy, balanced living in general.
Upon moving to Athens and discovering Yoga, my exploration
of health, wellness, food and nature has become a
lifestyle. I have studied Yoga with Michelle for the
past year, and just recently received my certification
to teach through Michelle's 200-hr. Teacher Training
program at OU. My training was also guided by a number
of local teachers (Rebecca Wood, Linda Cochran) as
well as Edward Clark of Tripsichore Yoga and David
Lurey, a yogi based in San Francisco. I continue to
find inspiration through Michelle's practice and teaching
as well as through nature and the study of the 8 limb
path of Yoga. My lifestyle finds balance through work
as a cook at the Village Bakery and Pizza Della Zona,
both outstanding endeavors of sustainable, eco-friendly
business. I am due to begin holding a weekly community
yoga class at the Athens Library in March. Get in
touch via email at liz(at)ekaprana.com (you'll have
to turn it into a real email address) or my website

Boaz Ramos
also known as Balaramacandra das
was introduced to Bhagavad Gita in the year 2000. It
illuminated my world and revealed life's beauty! In
2001 I joined the International Society for Krishna
Consciousness and began my intensified quest for enlightenment
through the path of Bhakti Yoga, the path of loving
devotion to Sri Sri Radha and Krishna. After a year
of study in an ashram in Tucson, Arizona I moved to
West Virginia where I have lived, studied and served
for the past 6 years as a monastic student under the
guidance of my spiritual preceptor(guru). I have been
formally trained and initiated as a Vaishnava(hindu)
priest, Certified Kripalu Yoga teacher, Vegan baker
and chef, and direct a non-profit organization called
Food For Life Experience. Regular trips to India have
focused my practice(sadhana) and expanded my love for
Vedic culture. Yoga and meditation have rooted deep
within my heart. Sacred scripture is a beckon of light
always directing me. I long for association with serious
spiritual practitioners and sincere seekers on the path
of yoga. I love to teach as a means to share all the
blessings I have received. I am here for you. How can
I serve you?
Please contact me with any questions about Yoga, Cooking,
Hinduism, India etc... Contact me via email at yoga(at)fflx.org

Stephanie Smith
began practicing Anusara yoga in
2004 because of the cute teacher at the local fitness
center. Since then she has been awed by the invigorating,
healing power of breath and movement, combined in a
way to bring a new awakening to anyone's sluggish yoga
practice. She completed Yoga Alliance 200-Level Teacher
Training in 2007 through Ping Fitness Center at Ohio
University. Michelle Stobart introduced her to Vinyasa,
which has since affected her practice in the most positive
light. Stephanie's teaching combines both beliefs, bringing
body and heart into alignment........Back

Sarah Flesher began
her journey with yoga as an undergrad. Early on, her
main focus was weight loss and body transformation via
an Iyengar type approach. However, it wasn't until Sarah
spent 1 year in Korea as an ESL teacher that she discovered
meditation with Buddhist monks and the peace that came
with the mindful exploration of body, mind, and spirit.
After going through a 200 hour level yoga teacher training
program (led by her mentor, Michelle Stobart), Sarah
knew that yoga would indeed be her new way of life.
She knew that dedicating time, effort, and mindfulness
to her own practice would help others explore their
own bodies and minds. Sarah hopes to inspire the uninspired
through the healing art that is yoga. I can be contacted
via email at sarahflesher(at)bodybreathbenefits.org
(turn into real email address) or check out more at

Amanda
Sharrai.
I spent most of my years in Ann
Arbor, MI. Recently I found Athens, the hidden gem
of Ohio. I began my yoga career in 2001. Over the
past 8 years I have practiced many forms of yoga including:
Bikram, Anusara, Hatha, Karma, Bhakti and Iyengar.
In January 2008 I received my 200 level Yoga Alliance
Teacher Certification. I also have a bachelors degree
in Social Work from Eastern Michigan University and
have extensive training in non-violent dialogue. Yoga
has brought a balance to my mind that wasn’t
present before I began this journey. I feel as though
yoga has brought me to be more present in all that
I do. I hope that yoga will do for you what it has
for me, brought me to a whole new level of freedom..freedom
from the mind and body. Check out my site for more
www.createspaceyogastudio.com.
My other interests include: sustainable living, raw
food preparation and gardening.
Hope to see you in class! ...........

Anna
Seno. My
mother, who has been a devoted practitioner for years
to quiet her mind and relax her body, introduced me
to yoga. Over the years, I have watched her spiritually
and physically transform through her practice. It
was that desire to feel the authenticity of inner
quiet and wholeness that inspired me to practice yoga
and then, years later, to become a yoga teacher. In
2005 I was trained and certified in Ashtanga Vinyasa
Flow by Larry Schultz of It's Yoga in San Francisco,
and since then have shared my practice with friends,
family, children and adults in various regions of
the world. I see yoga as a gift to share with others,
as a way to touch the stillness and awareness within
our busy minds while cleansing and rejuvenating the
body. I continue to strive to carry the mindfulness
and compassion of yoga off the mat and into my life,
as I believe this to ultimately be the greatest gift
we can give ourselves and those around us.

Alley Kreim. At
the beginning of high school, I started practicing Yoga
with Rodney Yee's Gaiam DVDs. I thought it would help
soothe some muscle pains and straighten out a stiff
back. After my first few attempts at downward dog, I
was given a fresh state of challenging awareness. "You
mean I can eventually find myself at ease within these
postures? No way!" I had been trained to "stretch"
through soccer and dance, but I had never witnessed
this amount of limbic capacity before. Yoga completely
rejuvenated my posture and opened my eyes to the vast
potential of bodily healing. I have since been awed
by the various forms of yogic meditation, like lucid
dreaming and Kirtan chanting. For the past year and
a half, I have been practicing Vinyasa with Michelle
Stobart, and attending Ashtanga classes at Yoga on High
in Columbus. I have been blessed with the wisdom of
amazing teachers through Michelle's 200-level training
program, like Rebecca Wood and Linda Cochran from Athens,
Ohio, David Lurey from San Francisco, and Edward Clark
from Tripsichore Yoga. It has been an incredible journey
that is guaranteed limitless through the art of Yoga.
By integrating the power of our mind, body and breath,
I believe we can all find an ease within ourselves to
let go and fully appreciate what is right in front of
our eyes. Contact me at ak236806 (at) ohio.edu.
