Leah Green

Owner, RYT-500, MBody Yoga Teacher Certification Program , YACEP, FMS Level 1 & 2, TPI certified

I started my yoga journey in May 2012 when my husband asked me to join him for a class, so I did and loved it! I signed up for a 30 for $30 Groupon. I got lazy and soon realized I needed some motivation so I entered the March madness contest (2013) with a friend and we won! I began my free month and stayed with it! In August I wanted to do more with MBody and my community, so I became an Ambassador for the studio.

I was also beginning a battle with infertility and struggling with where my career was, at this point in my life, so I entered the 40 days to a Personal Revolution where I realized that my mat and my life were mirroring one another. After that program, I wanted more! More, self discovery, more inquiry, more yoga, more community and more break-throughs!

I approached Dawn in January of 2014 and inquired about the teacher training; she led me to the 200 YTT that started that month. In August 2014 I became a 200 RYT. In February 2016 I completed the 300 hr Embody Mastery program and became a 500 RYT.

Yoga provided me with a fun and safe place to not only receive a physical workout, but a mental one as well. This community has helped build a powerful practice, lifetime friends, a community that I am passionate about and encourage others to join and share. Besides Baptiste Power

Louis Weimer

RYT-200

Louis has practiced different styles of yoga off and on since high school. When he came to MBody , he fell in love with Baptiste Power Yoga! He was challenged physically, his mind was stimulated through inquiry and the community was welcoming, gracious and caring. Louis’s journey here started with a Groupon and a class, this lead to him enrolling in the 100-hour Teacher Training which he took to deepen his practice. There he was inspired to take the 200-hour Teacher Leader Program and then the 300-hour Embody Mastery Program. As a 500-hr RYT, he is currently co-facilitating and leading trainings, leading workshops, and teaching classes throughout the week. He constantly enjoys learning and sharing with his fellow “yogis!”

Stacy Santiago

RYT-200, MBody Yoga Teacher Certification Program

Stacy Santiago is a yoga teacher, mother, wife and special educator. She has taught in public and private schools in New York and Florida since 2002, has a Master’s degree in Special Education and takes pride in knowing she makes a difference in her students’ lives on a daily basis. She enjoys inspiring her learners to feel confident and excited to learn and grow.

In 2009, Stacy became certified to teach group fitness and began teaching Yoga/Pilates/Tai Chi based classes at a couple of local Jacksonville gyms. In 2011, a friend convinced her to take her first Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga class, and Stacy was instantly hooked! Being a part of the Mbody community, and experiencing the strength and love of Baptiste Power Yoga on her mat and in her life, inspired Stacy to share this practice with others. In February of 2013, Stacy graduated from Mark White’s 200 hour Teacher Certification Program.
Throughout both of Stacy’s pregnancies, she practiced yoga. She is passionate about the benefits she experienced before, during and after pregnancy and designed and led MBody’s first prenatal yoga series, called Prana Mama. Stacy loves empowering expecting women to breathe, find calm stillness, increase their strength and flexibility needed for delivery, trust their bodies and connect with and nurture themselves and their growing babies.

She has attended an immersion workshop with Baron Baptiste, as well as a pediatric yoga workshop, which inspired her to teach yoga to students with intellectual differences at her school. She is inspired by her special needs students, because they exude all that she loves about yoga: community, playfulness, compassion, flexibility and strength; her yoga classes incorporate each these principals. Students leave her class feeling uplifted, inspired and empowered. Stacy’s enthusiasm and love for life is contagious!
