Teachers

Carmen

Carmen has been practicing since her early twenties. Everything changed in 2016 when she met her teacher, a woman who changed her head and heart space forever.

That experience opened a door she couldn’t ignore, inspiring her to leap into her first training.

From there, The Magic of Yoga was born. What happened next was a whirlwind of teaching, training, and what it means to live the practice of yoga.

For Carmen, yoga has never been about touching your toes or turning into a pretzel. It’s about everything that happens in the space between the shapes.

Dig into the totality of this practice with Carmen, where poses become presence. Drink the Kool-Aid!

Allison

Coming from an athletic background, she often felt out of balance. Committing to a daily yoga practice, she found strength and mobility, paired with a new sense of ease in her body and mind.

Allison creates a space where you are encouraged to observe, explore, and nourish a practice that can serve you on and off the mat, for years to come.

Christine

Christine Giana is a native Texan yogi with a whole lot of heart.

After taking her first yoga class in 2006, she was hooked, so much so that she jumped into her first teacher training and became a devoted student of the practice.

A snowboarding injury left her hungry for healing, and with yoga and meditation, she walked the path back to wholeness.

In her class, feel the practice with your whole mind, body, and soul.

Pause time while you’re on the mat, and carry the joy and spaciousness with you long after class ends.

Davis describes his classes as 90% power and 10% yin — a mix of effort and ease.

Devin

Devin brings a beautifully grounded yet endlessly dreamy energy to the mat.

For Devin, movement is the language of the body, speaking through sensation and breath.

When we breathe, we alchemize air and soul; when we move, we channel fire; and when we link breath to movement, we ripple the quiet waters of potential within the mind.

Devin guides students through flows, focusing on facing challenges with grace and a regulated mind, enriched by the soundscapes of R&B and ethereal electronic music.

Flows with Lin are for all levels. A steady yet fiery flow, braided with breath and movement that invite both your mind and body to soften and drop in.

Minh

For Minh, yoga is a practice of challenging the mind as much as the body.

Move through a strong, fiery vinyasa practice, with encouragement to explore what it truly means to move gracefully and with poise, and to savor the present enough to actually feel the experience of that moment.

Students can expect to leave class feeling a little more present, a little more open, and a lot more themselves.
