Rocio Varela

Rocio started practicing Kundalini yoga in 2007 as a way to recover her health and build her immune system. A few years later in 2012 she fell in love with the discipline and structure of Ashtanga yoga.

Rocio became a student of David C Kyle and was very dedicated to her practice. Inspired by such great teachers at AshtangaYoga Puerto Rico, led her to become a teacher in 2013.

By learning the Primary series, she went into a journey inward that not only saved her physical health but also brought her back to herSelf after going through some difficulties.

A chef by trade, Rocio started teaching Ashtanga yoga part time and has transitioned her daily life to her true purpose; to serve and help people live a better life physically, mentally and emotionally.
Continuing her education, in April 2016 Rocio completed a 40-hour teacher training with David Swenson and also completed 200 hrs of Hatha/Vinyasa Teacher Training at the Yoga Loft in Bethlehem.
Rocio sees herself as a yoga student for LIFE, she continues her yoga education and stays inspired by attending workshops and practicing daily. She truly believes yoga saved her health, and her life and has taught her how to live in joy.

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.

Linnette Gomez

I first started my yoga practice back in 2011 after a challenging tour overseas serving Operation Iraqi Freedom with the Army National Guard. Yoga has taught me not only the physical benefits it can bring me but also how to get real with myself, live in the now and ultimately the connection I have with something bigger than myself.

My Journey continues to be transformative today since I’m always learning new things on my mat, which has led to personal growth and change towards a bigger journey.

I chose to dedicate my practice into my life’s work as teacher by first earning my 200hr cert at Green Monkey Yoga studio in Miami, FL. I love to generate heat through a powerful Vinyasa flow, build strength in conditioning, breathe through a soothing gentle and restorative practice and find stillness through meditation.

I always have room for new material and experiences as I consider myself a student for life, learning and growing is my game and choosing to take on new challenges is just all part of the journey. Sharing my practice with you is always a pleasure and I’m always enthused to meet new people and connect.

Dina Kallinteris

Dina Kallinteris, 200 CYT, first found yoga in 2003 in the basement of an old art shop on South Street in Philadelphia. What began as curiosity quickly became a lifelong practice—one that helped her navigate, heal, and grow through the changing seasons of life.

As a licensed psychotherapist, Dina witnessed the profound impact yoga can have on emotional health and mental well-being. This led her to pursue a specialized certification in Yoga Therapy, where she learned to weave therapeutic principles into movement and breath.

Alongside teaching yoga, Dina runs a private psychotherapy practice devoted to holistic mental health and healing. In both settings, she holds space for compassion, curiosity, and connection—inviting others to slow down, listen inward, and rediscover their innate capacity to heal.

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.
