MEET OUR TEAM
It was at that time she went to Bali to study under a gurukula styled teacher training and received her first 200hr certificate in Vinyasa & Hatha yoga. Upon returning to the states Maya began training to teach Hot Power Fusion at Corepower, receiving her second 200-hr certification. Additionally, she has taken an extension program for HPF and took a module specifically oriented to teach beginners, seniors, guided meditation and chair yoga. Maya is passionate about using yoga for true healing and believes yoga is for EVERYBODY. Maya creates a flow that strengthens the body, quiets the mind, and opens the heart. Her ultimate goal is to give you the tools to learn to follow your own wisdom, your own intuition, your own heart and ultimately to be your own teacher.
She completed that in 2016 and believed her life to be changed forever in the greatest way possible. Her favorite thing about yoga is how it enables her to synch the mind and body as one. Nicole also loves to move and moving more purposefully with breath added leaves her feeling calm and more self-aware. Translated, Vinyasa means to “arrange something in a special way” like yoga poses for instance, done with one breath matching one movement. Nicole’s class typically evolves from a gentle warm up, to strengthening and stretching, to surrendering back into the mat. It is designed to gradually build strength and flexibility while connecting one’s own mind to one’s own body through synchronized breath and movement and is appropriate for all levels. Students can expect to leave feeling energized and ready for what life has in store for them. Nicole looks forward to continuing teaching and practicing in the surrounding areas. The practice of yoga has given her so much and she is excited to share that gift with her students.
Yoga became her go-to outlet all through college, at which point, she decided to take her practice deeper. Emma graduated from her first 200-hr training in 2014, became certified and has been teaching ever since.
What you can expect in her class is emphasis on alignment, lots of high energy, and embracing that fire within! She wants students to have fun in class, whatever level they may be, to explore their edge and discover their potential.
Drawing from her experience as a dance teacher, 200-hr Yoga training, and passion for Kundalini Yoga, she incorporates plyometrics and high-intensity aerobics moves to create a fun, playful dance party. When she’s not dancing or practicing yoga, Shayna enjoy time with her family, eating pizza and practicing the splits!
My second tattoo I got at age 18 reads “My Heart Beats For You” and that statement reads true as my heart beats for the well-being of all lifeforms on this beautiful garden. Through my own mental health journey I have connected with my mission to offer an authentic supportive hand through guided expressive movement and inner viewing for my fellow souls walking this path of undiscovered liquid we humans call LIFE! I am honored and excited to be a part of your story!

Our infrared heating systems will get room temperatures between 90-100 degrees. Infrared heat simply warms your body inside out and reduces chemicals and allergens in the air present with hot air systems. Heat allows your muscles and connective tissues to become more elastic which helps prevent injury, increases circulation, builds your immune system, increases flexibility, flushes out toxins and poisons in the body. Oh and the BEST part you burn more calories and increase collagen production which aids as an anti-aging tool!
