This class is taught by:
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.

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.

Mindy Lasoski
I attended my first hot yoga class in 2010 with little previous experience with yoga. With one class, I stumbled onto my path. Within 6 months, yoga had changed my body, and started to change my life.
Yoga has taught me what it truly means to have compassion, and has introduced me to myself. I still learn more with every practice.
As a teacher, my goal is to share the love that yoga has brought me with each soul I meet along the way – and my hope is to watch many transformations.
I am 200 hour CYT trained in the Bikram yoga style under Molly Cornell at Melt Hot Yoga, 200 CYT hour trained in vinyasa style from Peace of Mind Yoga, also certified in Hot Stretch under Vimana Yoga, and 300 CYT Through LivFree Power Yoga.
Courtney Czachor
Hi! I’m Courtney and I’ve been practicing yoga since 2014. I am a Yoga Alliance Certified E-RYT 500. I attained my 200hr Yoga Teaching Certification from The Yoga Loft in 2017. I then pursued my 300hr advanced training with My Vinyasa Practice under the guidance of Michelle Young in 2020. I live in Albrightsville, PA with my husband and our pug named Cleo! Ever since yoga found me in college, I’ve been practicing ever since. I think the most important thing in yoga is to trust yourself and be patient with your body. My goal is to create a playful, safe and joyous practice where my students can explore and be curious, build strength on and off the mat, break down boundaries and start living more fully. My teaching style is gentle yet strong, authentic and non-judgmental. I want my students to feel confident both on and off the mat. My classes offer a welcoming space to soften, become present, and explore. I love to combine creative sequencing, a spirit of playfulness and a dose of inspiration to help you deepen your practice. In my eyes Yoga isn't just about the moves you do on the mat, but it's the feeling you get when you leave your mat!
Lauren Pilgermayer
Lauren Pilgermayer discovered her passion for power vinyasa yoga in 2013 and began her training in 2015. Since then, she has led both power vinyasa classes as well as guided meditations and has also led and facilitated multiple teacher trainings in Philadelphia. She loves the power of connecting and the joy that can be re-discovered on the mat wherever you are in your practice.
The power flow class moves fluidly through yoga poses at a faster pace creating a flow of postures that follow the breath and build internal heat. Power Flow is a form of cardio-yoga which increases blood flow and helps the body to sweat. Regular cardiovascular exercise helps to maintain heart health, reduce body fat, lower blood pressure, combat arthritis, and reduce stress.... all while building beautiful lean muscles.
*All levels welcome, including beginners! We will offer modifications to build on more advanced poses. This class is not recommended for individuals with difficulty getting up/down from the floor.
