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.

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.”

Shannon Muldoon
Shannon Muldoon, 200 hour CYT, completed her training in 2015 at West End Yoga in Allentown, PA. Shannon first came to the yoga mat as a teenager, where she experienced profound moments of deep connection to herself and the world around her. Over the past few years, her personal yoga practice of movement and meditation has grown and created space for her to deepen connection to her body, mind & spirit. As an herbalist, massage therapist, and wellness practitioner, she believes that cultivating a daily practice of yoga is an integral aspect of healing and happiness.
Shannon's classes are based in the style of Vinyasa Yoga, where we flow in and out of poses with the breath as our guide. The flow of Shannon's yoga classes are gentle and slow, to encourage moving mindfully, being present, and listening to your body. Her hope is for her students to feel more balanced and gain a deeper sense of self love and acceptance.

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.
Melissa Broadway
~Namaste~ My name is Melissa. I took my first yoga class in 2010 and a few years later I took my practice deeper, completing my 300 hour teacher training at the American Yoga Academy in 2013. I am a Jersey native, adventurer, and knowledge seeker. I love spending time with my Family, listening to music, dancing, playing in nature and laughing from my toes to the crown of my head. Two of my favorite poses are Warrior and Tree. I love to chant, shout, and let it out! We all possess immense power to heal ourselves from within. The focus in class is to settle into ourselves and connect with our breath while finding freedom in our expression of movement. The feeling of community and compassion shared alongside the people I practice with is one of the reasons why I love to teach. Join me on the mat and let your radiant spirit shine. ~Om Shanti~
Jenna Brown
Salutations! I’m Jenna Brown 200 Hr RYT and Level 1 Thai Massage certified.
I’m an adventure seeking, nature loving and free spirited yogi. I love laughter, finding the happiness in life and letting my OM out.
I was first drawn to yoga to help with the bursitis in my hips, I stayed because of the way it felt to my heart.
I began yoga during a transitional period of my life, discovering that it complimented my inward journey and helped me live in the moment. Wanting to share the joy I’ve found in yoga is what has inspired me to teach.
I love the the power of a vinyasa class, sprinkled with some quiet meditation. Creating an open and safe space to help students look within to explore both their mental and physical practice is what I strive for. I love connecting with my students and watching them grow in their practice.
Mary Ellen Valenti
Mary Ellen began her Yoga practice as a way to restore balance to her body and mind after vigorous exercise and sports. It became clear how yoga was beneficial in this process.

Tammy Daly
Hello! My name is Tammy Daly and I am originally from Long Island, NY where I taught yoga for 15 years at the same studio. I moved to The Poconos in 2019 and love the tranquility here. I can't imagine not having yoga in my life and was happy to join the community at Yoga House.
I started out as a personal trainer and group exercise instructor but soon found out that my passion is yoga and pilates. I have worked with clients with extreme physical limitations and injuries to athletes throughout my career.
I started out as a personal trainer and group exercise instructor but soon found out that my passion is yoga and pilates. I have worked with clients with extreme physical limitations and injuries to athletes throughout my career.
My certifications are from AFAA and I participate in continuing education every year. I love finding new adaptations to familiar poses and letting the body find it's 'happy spot' within poses. I enjoy using hand mudras and poses to open the chakras and let the energy flow.
My favorite pose is pigeon and the motto I try to live by is 'tranquil abiding' and finding the balance.
I strive to help others to integrate total mind, body and soul wellness into their yoga practice and feel the best they can!
Thank you and hope to see you on the mat soon!
