Nikol Kallinteris
Nikoleta Kallinteris began her yogic journey in 2006 through the practice of Ashtanga Yoga — a doorway that opened her to the deeper wisdom of yoga and its timeless teachings. Since 2010, she has shared this path with others, inviting students to cultivate body awareness, mindful reflection, and self-embodiment. Her offerings arise from a lived understanding of yoga, nurtured through the depth of her own practice.
Driven by a deep curiosity for life’s quiet mysteries, Nikol independently continues her study of sound therapy, physical vitality, spiritual discernment, and the enduring wisdom of contemplative traditions, such as the philosophy of Yoga, Zen, Buddhism, Taoism, and more.

Rahnuma Wahid
Rahnuma Wahid, 200CYT Hatha Yoga, began her yogic journey during the time that she was a graduate student in 2003. She was immediately captured by the sense of physical and mental well being instilled by the practice. Her approach and understanding of yoga and its many benefits; including mental, physical and spiritual, is both scientific - yet lighthearted. Rahnuma is attracted to the calm and focus that yoga brings to her life and hopes to convey to her students a similar sense of joy and tranquility.
Susi Tilley
Susi’s search for self-discovery and healing brought her to yoga in 2005. She completed her Ha-Tha Yoga Method certification in 2012 and is a certified Yoga Alliance RYT-200 teacher. She teaches a wide variety of weekly yoga classes including Vinyasa flow, Gentle, Yoga Nidra, Chair, Restorative and Yin based Yoga. She also teaches private classes tailored to individuals needs and physical limitations. Susi’s exposure to training workshops with José Luis Cabezas of the Dynamic Yoga Method solidified her belief that yoga is accessible to everyone, no matter of their limitations. She is also a certified Reiki II practitioner and loves to incorporate bits and pieces of energy medicine into her gentle and restorative classes.
Susi Says, “Teaching yoga is a privilege that I take very seriously. My priority is to facilitate a safe and non-competitive class that allows the yoga student to discover and transform his/her own body and mind towards a better quality of life. To witness the individual transformation of each yoga student has been my biggest reward since I started teaching.”
Gina Cerbone
Gina Cerbone, 200 E-RYT, began her yogic journey in 2010 as she developed a strong connection to her Vinyasa practice which led her to a teacher training program with Delia Quigley and Denise Kay in July 2012.
For Gina, the Vinyasa quality of "moving mediation," coupled with her daily seated meditation, allows her to center herself when her world feels out of balance and lacking in stillness. Gina feels that Yoga has opened her eyes to see the person within, who she really is. Her practice helped her to find herself at a time when she felt lost. Gina believes that human nature is an important aspect of teaching yoga and a path to gain insight into others as well as one’s self by giving and receiving (sharing) the gift of yoga.

Tiffany Chen
Tiffany Chen, 200 RYT.
We are all perfectly imperfect.
I have been a dancer since 2nd grade. A curious individual with passions for creative expression. I’d love to approach non conservative ideas. This reason has brought me to Yoga since 2012.
You may find different puzzles in my regular classes. Because every single one of us is unique. This generation makes our body structure degenerate sooner than past generations. Our body and soul are eager to seek salvation. Merge my “healer’s mind” since I was very young. My grandma used to bring me to the church every weekend. And she always sacrifices her own benefit by helping others first. She is the person who influences me the most.
I love ashtanga as my own practice. Bliss falls on me after every class.
For teaching, hatha alignment, gentle style, slower pace are my jam.
I will do whatever I can to help those who do not hesitate. We all live this life once. You are invited to a yoga journey. Let’s cultivate together.
