Jill Gregory
Jill Gregory, 200 CYT, Hatha Yoga, began her yogic journey about 10 years ago around the same time her youngest son began the curious and active transition into toddlerhood. What began as a means to find inner peace, relaxation and endurance to lovingly and patiently accept the challenge of raising a very energetic toddler, soon became a life passion. The very first time she stepped onto her mat, she knew it was going to be a place to call “home”. Home to her spirit and to a better understanding. After months of a consistent practice, she began to see the physical benefits of a regular practice and almost by surprise began internalizing the bits and pieces of yoga philosophy taught in class. She soon found herself applying those philosophies off the mat. A seed was planted. After years of practice, she knew she wanted to teach, and received her certification at Sundari Yoga in Stroudsburg, PA. She soon realized that teaching yoga was so much more than guiding students through a litany of poses and explanations, but about drawing forth an inner strength that is already within them. Teaching for Jill became a divine opportunity to be present the first time a student becomes aware at their ability to reach beyond self-imposed limitations; to watch as they become familiar with their authenticity, their wholeness. A newly born self that each time they step off their yoga mat and into their life, they take the tools of breath work and poses to cultivate a life of peace, joy and passion.
As Jill continues her personal journey, she uses the practice of meditation and stillness to listen to the voice of her soul for guidance. She is consistently called to the study of energy and its relationship in healing the body, physically, spiritually and mentally. She is a certified Reiki practitioner and often uses her healing touch and intuition in her classes. She is an avid reader and continues to educate herself through self-study as well as attending workshops at Kripalu as well as embarking on spiritual journeys around the country.
Jill prides herself on integrating an energetic power flow class with the ability to get students to stay present and tune in to the mind-body connection. Her personal goal in all of her classes is to get students to walk off their mats, not with just a great work-out, but a deeper sense of who they are, with all of their strengths and vulnerabilities, and to instill a sense of community amongst her students, all while having a little bit of fun!
Beth Seiwell
Beth Seiwell, 200 RYT, Kripalu Yoga, has more than a decade of experience in developing a heart centered alternative healing practice. She is trained in, and integrates, many healing modalities. In a co-created sacred space, Beth helps to bring physical, energetic and emotional bodies into a state of optimal healing and repair so the body may heal itself. Using the energies of stones and minerals to create shifts in the energy of the client and clear blockages to facilitate the free flow of energy through out the body. Using conscious resonance, her intuitive process taps into energy fields and her guides direct her on where to go -to pull and shift energy- so that those who wish to heal, expand and evolve may begin the process. Beth's intuitive connections often tap into alternative lifetimes, revealing patterns people are living out in order to learn lessons needed to clear and reprogram. Beth also emphasizes the need to heal and ground on the physical level, using yoga to link breath and movement to play out stress reactions - such as pain, resistance, and discomfort. The yoga work helps clients take the spiritual and energetic work into the physical realm - allowing for skillful, effective and permanent life changes.
*Beth's credentials include: Crystal Resonance Therapist and Instructor, Primus Activation Healing Technique Practitioner and Instructor. Usui Reiki Master and Karuna RMT - Reiki Master Teacher. Her most important credentials include loving mother to Mathew, Olivia and Maia and wife to Brian. At her home and abroad she hosts sweat lodge ceremonies, vision quests, drumming circles and other indigenous gatherings, uniting community, purification, insights and celebration of life.
Michael Petersen
Michael Petersen, 200 RYT, Kripalu Yoga, began his yogic path with the rigid and soul shaking style of Bikram hot yoga. After many years of dedication, and having hit a wall with routine, he was driven to search for something more. His inquiry lead to Prana Yoga, a donation based studio in Scranton, PA. It was there that his teachers introduced him to the other aspects of yoga beyond the physical practice; however, it was the donation aspect of the studio that profoundly impacted Michael as he witnessed the expansive reach and need for yoga in various communities and more specifically that each individual came with their own personal strengths and limitations. This clarified for Michael the true meaning of yoga and the intrinsic harmony of practice and philosophy. His focus shifted to the importance and beauty in making the practice accessible to everyday people. Michael is fully immersed in teaching yoga daily at several donations based studios in Pennsylvania; in addition he routinely assists in 200 hour Yoga teacher trainings at The Kripalu School of Yoga in Massachusetts, and is currently enrolled in their 300 hour YTT to obtain his 500 hour Master level Certification.He firmly believes in teaching students how to make their practice their own - by modifying poses and discovering how to best serve their current path. He says, “Yoga is here for everyone regardless of their color, gender, age, or shape. I‘m always looking for that new bridge to cross to help people modify the practice to fit the TRUTH of their being and body.”
Valerie Klass
Valarie Klass, 200 CYT in Hatha Yoga from Sundari Yoga, was introduced to yoga in 2008 through her Tang So Do Instructor, which awakened the idea of a kinder, gentler way of life and so she made the necessary changes to pursue her new path. She is filled with happiness and light now that she has found her passion in life. Yoga has gifted her the balance she has always searched for in her very busy life and career, as well as the many more rewards that come with the practice and building a strong connection with oneself. Valarie's approach brings focus to the Bhandas and engagement; inviting students to connect, direct and utilize the energy locks within the body and experience the power and essence each pose has to offer. Students can expect to feel clearer and higher states of consciousness.
Valarie is honored to teach and bring together community through yoga; developing new friendships through the amazing people she meets. Valarie plans to teach yoga part time in her retirement and spread love and joy to all who welcome it into their lives. She is currently working as a Regional Manager in Health Care and is registered in both Cardiac and Vascular Ultrasound.
