Adam Sommer

One of the main roles I play in this life is as an Astrologer. I’m dedicated to augmenting your experience of Astrology through playful words, inspired conversation in my podcasts, creating rich learning environments in my Classes, and hopefully, experiencing life changing readings with you as well. I have been practicing professionally for a decade, working with clients and students all over the world. Trained and certified by Maurice Fernandez (President of OPA), I have used this sturdy foundation to explore many other branches of the astrology tree as well–like Jyotish, Evolutionary, Archetypal, and Traditional forms. I prefer imagining I’m sitting beneath the tree, not tangled in its many branches. By borrowing from many traditions and applying the techniques to my own life and the many beings I have worked with along the way, I have stumbled into what I call, “Kosmognosis”: A direct and living relationship with the cosmos, one which infinitely informs the participant with the most unique strain of wisdom.

She attended a hot yoga class and instantly fell in love. All throughout her schooling she continued to attend the one yoga studio in her town.        She was one of the youngest yogis in her studio at the time, but she loved the escape and connection to herself in a way different than anything she had ever experienced. She kept doing hot yoga but began to incorporate yoga sculpt, ashtanga yoga, yin, and vinyasa flow in her practice.        Her passion for yoga grew. She began to feel a light shining from within, and began to see a light in all beings. From there she read every yoga book she could get her hands on, connecting with the principals and ancient stems of spirituality in yoga.  As soon as she turned 17 she flew to Bali and received her yoga teacher training in Bali, and for the past 2.5 years she been teaching yoga in Kona Hawaii.  ———————————————————————————————————————————        Just a year ago,…

Deb Kern, Ph.D.

Deborah Kern is a health scientist who dares people to live in harmony with the wisdom of their bodies. This conviction was inspired by her pioneering research showing that mind / body integrated approaches to exercise are more effective at reducing anxiety than conventional approaches to exercise. This discovery stimulated Deb to go deeper. Formerly the Executive Director of Lifestyle Enrichment at the prestigious Lake Austin Spa Resort, Deb is an internationally acclaimed speaker on mind/body/spirit health. She is the author of “Everyday Wellness for Women” and co-author of “Create the Body Your Soul Desires: The Friendship Solution to Weight, Energy and Sexuality”. Her years of practice as a nurse, health educator, personal trainer, yoga and Nia teacher and yoga therapist have given her lifestyle insights not found in books. She has become very aware that when people live their lives disconnected from their bodies’ messages, they not only miss out on the wisdom of their bodies and opportunities to heal emotional issues, but they are also more likely to experience stress and dis-ease. When they pay attention and take action, “miraculous” changes can occur.

Jenna McDonald

Jennifer Carmack

I have been practicing yoga since 1997. As a long distance runner, yoga offered flexibility, strength and stress relief. That got me started, and since then the journey has been so much more, physically, mentally and spiritually. Yoga has become such an important part of my life. I have learned so much about how to take what I learn on the mat and use those as metaphors to practice in my life. If there was anything I would love to share about yoga it would be that yoga is for everyone. You do not have to have any athletic abilities, be any certain age, or any certain person. I studied biology with a concentration on biomedical sciences at Colorado State University. I am certified to teach Yoga from the Shambhava School of Yoga with 200 hrs. I trained in Applied Kinesiology (Muscle Testing), I am a Certified Usui Tibetan Reiki Master Teacher, as well as a holistic health and nutrition coach. March 2010, I have been certified by PHI Pilates as a Mat and Reformer Pilates Instructor as well.

Jennifer Reuter

Jennifer commits to teaching yoga, as way of life, both on and off the yoga mat. Her approach to teaching yoga is based off the principle that each pose is a metaphor for conscious living. Jennifer fell in love with the yoga tradition in 1998 after receiving her first copy of the “Bhagavad Gita”. Being certified in the health and fitness industry since 1995, it was only natural that the passion of yogic philosophy would guide her to find the passion of asana on the yoga mat. She has studied extensively with many different teachers and believes there is no “one” way or style that is superior, but only the way that feels right in your body, mind, and heart. Her main influences include: Shiva Rea, Sianna Sherman, Tias Little, Anusara & Pilates systems.  You will find that her classes are “interdisciplinary” inviting both ancient and modern; they are intelligent, innovative and always incorporate the deeper aspects of yogic philosophy, mantra, breath and meditation. Jennifer is a long-time meditator and since 2008 has been formally enrolled with Blue-Throat Yoga (a school dedicated to the study of meditation, yoga, and tantra). These in-depth studies have highlighted the subtle and nuanced understandings…

Katya Lovejoy

I am a hypnotherapist and spiritual teacher whose mission is to end the transmission of trauma on this planet. We all carry trauma that has been passed down to us from generation to generation.  It is what causes the pain in our minds and bodies, the ruptures in our relationships, the cracks in our hearts. The scars of our individual struggles can be seen collectively all over the Earth. It’s my belief that world peace can only come through a pathway of inner peace, and we must take personal responsibility to free ourselves from the oppressive and disempowering narratives in our own minds and chose to live from a heart-empowered place.  I created a program that is unique, holistic, dynamic, and profoundly successful in supporting sensitive people in releasing stuck emotions and self sabotage rooted in childhood relationship dysfunction. This process activates your inner resources and soul gifts, which empowers you to create a life where you feel free, confident, and connected to love and joy. The skills I teach, practices I guide, and healing processes I facilitate help people to overcome long-standing blocks, achieve emotional balance, and reconnect with their intuitive spirit so that they can release the pain…

Matt Wood

I have felt intuitively inclined towards a spiritual path since a very young age and upon discovering Eastern Philosophy as a teenager. I studied and majored in Music in college as I felt a pull towards the arts but explored many different career paths upon graduation. These paths included special education, academic advising, and admission counseling for higher education institutions. It was not until several years ago that I felt a total “shift” in my personal life as I embraced these teachings I found early on. Inspiration beckoned which lead me to become a 200hr certified Yoga Teacher in 2015 and begin publicly teaching and sharing my understanding of the practice with the world. I have explored a vast array of styles and learned directly from teachers like Tim Miller, Seane Corn, Dharma Mittra, and Annie Carpenter. All of which helped deepen my knowledge as I have now developed my own personal style of a mindfulness based approach to teaching and practice. Through the study and practice of Eastern meditation, I also teach a very approachable meditation technique to help cultivate inner peace, happiness, and clarity in your life.

Phoenix Desmond

Since 2007, I have been studying yoga and healing arts with Masters from the East. After a series of life-altering experiences in the Himalayas, I returned to the states and spent several years immersed in practice. Afterward, I was guided to become a formal teacher and make Eastern wisdom accessible to the modern Western yogi. My intention is to spread the abundance of healing energy I have received from the practice, in order to create the greatest good for the greatest number of beings. May you be blessed with perfect health, happiness, and harmony!

Rob and Melissa

Rob and Melissa are bhakti yogis, teachers and kirtan singers devoted to celebrating the divine through the practice of kirtan (call and response chanting). When Rob and Melissa first met, neither of them sang kirtan or practiced Bhakti yoga (the yoga of devotion). By the time they married two years later, the foundation of their partnership was a mutual desire to place love and devotion as their number one priorities. As these seeds of devotion grew, Rob and Melissa naturally gravitated toward kirtan and Bhakti yoga.  Rob and Melissa’s kirtan is a fresh take on an ancient practice. Their heart-filled music blends Sanskrit chants with modern, accessible melodies and lush harmonies and has been described as “heart-opening bliss,” “joyful medicine,” and “love and devotion materialized!” Rob and Melissa’s personal mantra of “Be Nice and Have Fun” has become the foundation of their life philosophy, and their gift is sharing this joy through mantra and movement. Rob and Melissa are based in the Pacific Northwest, but their music keeps them on the move, and they’ve shared their kirtan as far away as Italy and India. When they aren’t on the road, they lead weekly and monthly donation based kirtans in Seattle, WA.…

T'ari Mannello

T’ari brings to this workshop Tantra Acro Yoga and Intimacy Coaching. Be still for a moment and ask yourself: what do you want?  What do you need?  What makes you feel seen and valued?  What makes your bones ache, your fists clench, and your face flush?  If you know the answers, can you communicate them authentically to someone you care about?  When we find ways to ask for and receive the kind of affection, love, sex and attention that matters most, we feel desired, relaxed, confident, and ready for more. You deserve this. You deserve to know what it feels like to be open and satisfied.  Closeness can help get you there. Helping someone feel wonderful starts with a deeper level of comfort, confidence and presence within yourself. Are you coming from a place of fear or love?  Are you sure?  Authentic pleasure and communication – not from a text, online or through an app, but through real interactions with those who we care about – this is what we crave *You can check out his podcast on YouTube, Spotify or iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/closeness/id1388354178?mt=2
