Jen Madrone

Hi, I'm Jen, a Sound Healer, Reiki Master, Teacher, and Spiritual Guide with 30 years of experience. My intuitively guided sound journeys use healing frequencies and vibrations to calm the nervous system, support deep transformation, and reconnect you with your true essence.

Jen Madrone

Hi I'm Jen, a Sound Healer, Energy Healer, Reiki Master, Teacher, Author and Spiritual Guide. I have been working in the realms of healing and vibration for about 3 decades. My Sound Bath Journeys are created to calm the nervous system so that your body can remember how to heal and your soul can remember who it really is. All of my sound healing events and healing sessions are intuitively guided and use a wide variety of sound tools to create the frequencies and vibrations that are needed for deep healing and transformation. These sound journeys can be an intense out of body experience while simultaneously grounding you into your body and into the moment. My intention and prayer is for each one of us to feel loved, empowered, whole and grounded in the present. 

Skip Sumbera

Hi, I’m Skip, a Meditation Teacher and Spiritual Mentor. I guide others in meeting life with presence and honesty, exploring their inner world, integrating the wisdom of their experience, and discovering the deeper truth and wholeness already within.

Skip Sumbera

Hi, I’m Skip. I’m a Meditation Teacher and Spiritual Mentor. I spent years trying to fix myself and ease my suffering, chasing the next tool or modality that I hoped would finally change the way I felt inside. But no matter what I tried, the lasting peace, fulfillment, and sense of wholeness I longed for always seemed to elude me.

Everything changed when I stopped chasing healing and resisting what was here, and began meeting life directly with presence and honesty.

That shift started a process of deep transformation, one that didn't come from effort or control, but from fully allowing what’s here in the moment, releasing what no longer served me, and discovering the truth of who I am.

Now, I guide others on that path. I offer a grounded, heart-centered space to explore your inner world, build emotional resilience, and integrate the deeper wisdom of your own experience.

If you're ready to go beyond self-improvement and discover what’s already whole within you, I’d love to support your journey.


  

A Martens

Hi, I'm A (they/them)! My Hatha-based classes are appropriate for students healing from injuries, beginners, or long-time students looking to be re-inspired by the roots of their practice. I use use lots of props to modify poses and make them work for YOUR body. 

A Martens

Hi, I'm A (they/them)! My Hatha-based classes are appropriate for students healing from injuries, beginners, or long-time students looking to be re-inspired by the roots of their practice. Because I come from an Iyengar background, we use lots of props to modify poses and make them work for YOUR body. 

I empower my fellow LGBTQ+ community to take up space, and I’m passionate about recontextualizing yoga so that modern practitioners have a better understanding of its roots. I encourage people to look at yoga as not only a practice of individual healing, but a practical philosophy for liberating all of humanity. Ultimately, I believe when we take better care of ourselves we are taking better care of the planet.

Emily Cooper-Hertel

Emily offers vinyasa classes that support alignment, build strength, and foster mental clarity. She teaches yoga with the intention of integrating breath and movement with greater seasonal, philosophical, and cultural connection.

Emily Cooper-Hertel

Emily Cooper-Hertel found yoga with curiosity for the depth of inner peace and strength she sensed from others she knew who practiced. She explored various forms of vinyasa starting in 2012, yet her foundations in a strong yoga practice were set with Ashtanga and Hatha yoga during her formative 20’s while briefly living in Portland, Oregon. She found much needed refuge in the magic of intentional breath with movement. Over the years, her relationship with yoga continually deepens as yogic philosophy is increasingly woven into her practice both on and off the mat. Emily completed the Tosha Yoga Teacher Training with Suzanne Dunning in 2025, whose teachings are inspired by the T.K.V. Desikachar lineage. 

As an ecologist by trade, her work ultimately aims to support an ecosystem’s capacity for self renewal. She sees many parallels between that and the work of yoga, as yoga indeed fosters our own capacity for self renewal. Moreover, since recently becoming a new mother, she has found strength, healing, and grounding with reverence through yoga as an integral component of daily life. Emily is grateful for the opportunity to share the beauty of yoga with you!

Azaria Mohr

Yoga found me during a transformative time and became my safe haven. My intention is to create a space where students feel safe to explore, grow, and discover gratitude for who they are. Together, we support one another on the journey of self-discovery.

Azaria Mohr

Yoga found me at a very transformational time in my life, and soon became my safe haven. It was on my mat where I felt most special-finding a new sense of gratitude for every facet of myself.
My intentions with every class I teach is to cultivate a space where my student feel safe enough to grow curious about themselves, and eventually find that same gratitude for the unique individual they are.

I look at this practice as a beautiful reminder of the specialness that exists in each and every one of us. As we move together I hope we can learn from each other and support one another on this exploration of self.
