Matan-Cohen CitronAs far back as I can remember, I’ve had a great desire to search and find answers to the mysteries of life. I discovered the path of yoga while backpacking around the world. I experienced amazing breakthroughs in my life while practicing in India, and I realized that as challenging as this path may be, there was no turning back for me. It is a constant choice, one I make every single day, when I step on the mat and honor my practice. I’ve been practicing diverse forms, including Iyengar, Classical Hatha, Jivamukti Vinyassa, Dharma Mittra and Yin. I was fortunate to practice beside and work with great teachers such as Sharat Arora, Usha devi, Keshava Das, Ramakrishnanada and Dharma Mittra. My approach fosters curiosity, playfulness and self-inquiry. As a teacher I try to create a space that encourages practitioners to go as deep as they wish. I teach a physically meditative Vinyassa flow and interweave pranayama, meditation, and philosophy in a light-hearted approachable manner.
Annie TestaI am a 200 hour CYT and RYT with the Yoga Alliance. After practicing many different styles of yoga since 2004, I have landed in love with Baptise Power Vinyasa Yoga. I began my journey of teaching yoga in 2007 and am excited to continue learning and sharing. One of my favorite things about this practice is that it offers the opportunity for us to find stillness and focus in a world that is constantly vying for our attention. Then, we begin to encounter our limits, our fears, our desires...and discover our abilities to heal and change. My classes are packed with power, both inner and outer. We start sweating with strength in the body and translate that to strength in the mind and spirit. You won't walk away dry or without a new adventure into your own possibilities. I can't wait to rock the mat!
