Owner, Certified Baptiste Yoga Teacher, Certified Baptiste Yoga Teacher, E-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

Suzanne Cooper

RYT 200, MBody Yoga Teacher Certification Program

I joined MBody Yoga June 12, 2012. A friend had invited me a few weeks prior, but I put him off because I was intimidated. I had preconceived notions of yoga studios and didn’t think it was for me. I traveled to CA to visit family and my sister-in-law invited me to her yoga studio. I took that as a sign – I had to try it! I walked out drenched in sweat feeling completely invigorated and so alive! Two days after I returned home, I took my first class at Mbody and I was hooked! I found a community of people (teachers and students alike) who accept, encourage, support and challenge me every time I step into the studio.
The physical benefits of my yoga practice, increased flexibility, stronger muscles, and improved balance were expected and I’m also learning that my body is capable of doing things I never imagined like acroyoga!!! What I did not expect was how a regular practice would benefit me off my mat as well. I’m learning to be more flexible and balanced in my life – I’m learning to breathe more and react less – I am learning to let go of self doubt and realize that I am capable of so much more than I’ve ever imagined.

As a graduate of MBody’s 100 hour and 200 hour teacher training programs I am so excited to share some of what I’ve learned from this amazing practice with others and to witness their growth. As an instructor, my goal is to create an atmosphere where students feel safe to learn and progress at their own pace – a place where they feel accepted, challenged, encouraged, and supported in their journey through this practice – a place to discover things about themselves that they never imagined.

Dot Bourgeois

MBody Yoga Teacher Certification Program, MBody Academy, RYT-200

Dot came to Mbody for the first time with a friend who wanted to try power yoga. She had previously practiced yoga at home or at gym classes but had never been to a yoga studio. At first she thought it was way too hot but she kept coming because she felt welcome in the community and loved how the practice could be modified to meet her needs. Three years later she signed up for a 100 hr teacher training to expand her practice with no intention of ever teaching yoga, but after teaching a class as part of her training she knew that she wanted more and immediately signed up for 200 hr teacher training. Dot loves the physical workout that she gets as well the shift in thinking that her time at the studio has produced. After completing her training she used those shifts to help her let go of over 100 pounds of weight that was not serving her. She teaches power yoga and Yin with a focus on accessing the poses in a way that works for your body as it is right now and exploring the possibility of trying something new.

Janell Howard

RYT-200, MBody Yoga Teacher Certification Program

I’m Janell Howard, yoga enthusiast, mother, wife, teacher, student, professional chef, and entrepreneur.
My love of yoga began in 1997 as a way to find my inner strength in life. Throughout this journey I have
found courage in facing the challenges of raising teenagers, developing better relationships, and
seeing where I needed to improve in life. It has given me insight to my strengths and weaknesses, an
insight that has evoked a sense of calm in dealing with whatever this wonderful life has to offer.
My training began in 1999 when I took my first teacher training in Anusara-inspired yoga. Over the past
eighteen years I’ve become a lifelong student of yoga having studied and taken many teacher training
programs as well as intensive workshops with leading yogis in their respective fields from
transformational breathing to perfect alignment. All of my training has culminated in my appreciation
of the Baptiste methodology and I am really excited to be part of such an incredible studio. Currently
I’m teaching Baptiste Power Yoga and Yin classes. It is my goal to continually improve my flow, to know
and understand the intricacies of our practice, to learn and recognize others limitations and help them
to push past their physical and mental boundaries. In addition as a professional chef I bring with me
my knowledge of nutrition and clean eating to my students and those around me. I feel that with my
experience I am able to effectively instruct students on proper breathing, alignment, anatomy and flow
techniques of our beautiful practice.

Kathleen

RYT-200, MBody Yoga Teacher Certification Program

Kathleen was a marathon runner looking to add yoga a couple days a week to compliment her running, but quickly fell in love with the practice that was so much more than a good stretch. Kathleen loved the grounding and presence yoga brought into her life and the ability to create and live more compassionately and fully. Despite trying a few different styles she chose to practice and study Baptiste for the way it challenged the body physically, the community it provides, as well as the way it challenged her to look into her mind and heart to grow. As an instructor, Kathleen hopes to challenge and guide her students to find their edge and push past doubts to find their breakthroughs and achieve new goals. Kathleen is also a certified SUP yoga instructor, as well as competitive runner, and is currently completing her 300hr teacher training.
