Mayleen Medina, RYT-200 is a Yoga Alliance Certified Yoga Teacher. Mayleen has always had a deep love of chanting. That love brought her to bhakti yoga over twenty years ago. She graduated from the Yoga Lily Teacher Training program in 2016 and has been teaching yoga and meditation throughout the Capital Region since. In 2018 Mayleen was certified in Yin, Restorative and Bhakti Yoga from Yandara Yoga. As a woman with a fuller, slower, less flexible body Mayleen’s yoga journey has been different than most. Yoga has helped Mayleen reduce her stress, strengthen, and tone her body, and most importantly to have deep love and compassion for herself and others. Her goal is to introduce people to yoga in a gentle and informative way, while honoring their body where it is.

April has been practicing yoga for over 28 years. Her yoga and meditation practices have been a steady source of grace to sustain her through all of life's challenges. She decided to become a teacher so she could share these practices with others and recently completed her 200 hr training through the Be Body Electric Yoga Teacher Training Program. Her love is for a gentle vinyasa flow with a focus on breath and meditation where it is all about moving the body and breath together like a beautiful dance. As she says with a shrug of complete acceptance, " We are all just practicing together weaving a dance of ease and grace. Can't wait to see you on the mat. Namaste ~ the Divine within me bows to the Divine within you
