Nicoline’s classes are a seamless blend of dymanic flow and technique. Through a unity of fluid movement and alignment, she gives her students the space to trust their own rhythm and the foundations on which to lay that trust- helping them find freedom, mobility and a more embodied sense of Self.

Nicoline completed the 200 hour Kripalu Yoga Teacher Training under Yoganand Michael Carroll. She is now working towards completing her 500 hour Prana Flow Yoga training with Shiva Rea, and is drawing from regular teacher-level study with Barbara Benagh. She has been surprised and delighted by the direction the current has recently swept her in founding Samara Yoga- and is thrilled to be creating a dedicated yoga space with some of her dearest friends and fellow teachers right in her home community of Somerville, MA.

Vito is inspired to teach in order to share this healthy, powerful, healing and evolutionary practice. He teaches themed sequences, while maintaining a strong connection to breath, core and safe alignment to inspire a sustainable practice — and never taking things too seriously.

Vito’s teaching is inspired by his trainings, continuous studies and workshops. Vito’s trainings include: 200 hour Yoga Works Teacher Training certification with Natasha Rizopoulos; trainings with Seane Corn and Ana Forrest; Baptiste Assistant training; and multiple anatomy and therapeutics courses. Vito voluntarily teaches gentle/chair yoga to the Residents of the Little Sisters of the Poor (where he previously managed volunteers and grants).

Kristen’s principal teachers are Stephen Cope and Barbara Benagh; she has also studied with and is grateful for the influences of Baron Baptiste, Paul Grilley, Coeli Marsh, Tim Miller, and Sarah Powers.

Jane’s first experience with yoga was in the summer of 2001. After many years of rigorous physical activity, her body began to speak loudly in the form of bursitis in both hips. She chose to seek an alternative form of exercise; something challenging, yet low impact which would satisfy her craving for movement. She fell in love with yoga that very first day on her mat! What she didn’t anticipate was the new-found freedom through expression and acceptance that is inherent in the yogic process. She continues to nurture that relationship with herself through daily practice, and sharing it with others by teaching.

Her intent is to teach freedom through the joy of movement and connection to Source. She feels compelled and honored to lead and share the practice that has liberated her and brought her “home”. She hopes to inspire students to embrace their uniqueness, express their gifts, expand their mind, and find their JOY.

Jane is currently a full-time instructor and actively volunteers for YogaHope, a non-profit yoga organization dedicated to bringing yoga to under-served women in the Boston.
