Natalie has been studying varied approaches to Hatha
yoga since 1981, including Anusara, Ashtanga, Bikram,
Kundalini, Iyengar and the style some call Viniyoga.
She started teaching in 1995, blending her experience
into light-hearted classes where we are encouraged to
make our own multi-layered study of the self that
extends way beyond the physical. She promotes each
class as an act of self-discovery, not just by
emphasizing body-awareness through asana, but also by
encouraging us to fine-tune an awareness in the patterns
of thought and emotion that underlie our movement. She
believes that the most well-rounded approach to life and
yoga involves experimenting with various styles, to
honor our multi-faceted personalities. To help students
experience this, she teaches Yoga Nidra, Restorative,
and a style she calls Funyasa™, a power-vinyasa hybrid
with special emphasis on fun. To learn more about her,

Jason
has been an active athlete his entire life, thriving on
the challenge and discipline of physical exercise. He
participated in triathlons from the age of 10, and as a
result of ruthless training at such a tender age,
developed back injuries so serious that he was forced to
wear a brace for almost 3 years. After sustaining a
knee injury, he was sidelined from sports altogether his
sophomore year in High School. As a means of rehab, he
reluctantly checked out a yoga class, and came away with
something that he never got in his years of training in
the gym: an overall sense of wellbeing. Since then he’s
never looked back. Having learned first-hand about the
body’s capacity to heal itself by applying principles of
biomechanical alignment taught in yoga, Jason is proof
of the resilience of the human spirit and the healing
power of yoga. He has studied Anusara® Yoga extensively
with John Friend, Desirée Rambaugh, Sianna Sherman, Amy
Ippoliti and Jordan Bloom, among others. He completed a
Level I Anusara® Yoga Teacher Training, and was
certified to teach Skanda Yoga by its founder Ken von
Roenn III. Jason shares his experience and puts his
skill into action in his classes, invoking the warrior
spirit for a challenging and self-empowering practice.

Brandi
is a Miami native and life-long athlete,
an artist, entrepreneur and avid Yogini. She sees
yoga as the ideal playground for people to explore
their true nature and to access their Highest Self.
It provides an opportunity for people to explore and
celebrate their uniqueness; to observe the ego and
detach from the desire to compare and control. She
encourages her students to release judgment and to
find contentment in the face of challenge, both on
and off the mat. By helping her students manage
stress, live more wholly and realize their greatest
potential, Brandi sees teaching yoga as her
contribution to the betterment of society, one
person at a time. She’s also an expert on human
interaction, and facilitates workshops on successful
relationships. She imbues her Yoga Flow classes
with her warm and accepting spirit, leaving students
feeling refreshed, centered and recharged.
