The Denver Post in May 2010 and this Summer’s 5280 (Top of the Town) considers Tina "One of Denver's top 5 most sought-after instructors". Through a Reader’s poll for The Denver Post in 2008, Tina was voted one of the Best Instructors in Denver. She teaches because her teacher of 11 years (Bryan Kest in Santa Monica, CA.) encouraged her to share her passion and teach Yoga. Life with 2 small children is what nourishes Tina’s daily practice thus fueling her classes that are a true example of her integrity and devotion. Because of Tina’s innate ability to read the energy in the room, each one of her classes are unique. Her psychotherapeutic monologues have you meditating in movement, relating to her on many levels, opening more than you thought was possible and releasing more than you thought you even held.

We are overjoyed to have Tina as an esteemed member of our lead teaching team for the Samadhi Yoga Teacher Training program. Tina will help you see deep within you to unearth all that you are. From that space is where Great Masters are born.

In a way, yoga has been part of Lisa’s life since birth. Cultures, history, and rituals are always something that has interested and fascinated her. Considered an “old soul” by friends and family, Lisa has a depth of awareness and intuition that can only be attributed to the likes of Krisha, you may even hear Krisha’s blessings through the flute she plays in class! These classes also resonate with a deep sense of devotion, known in India as Sanatana Dharma, or “Eternal Law.” This is the idea that Brahma, God, the Universe, Jah, a Higher Power-whichever name you choose- all dwell in the heart of every living being and is simply not something to be debated. Yoga Sutras are often studied in class and dharma talks are an integral part. She is humbled and honored to be a part of this training and is looking forward to imparting the knowledge she has gained from her studies in Nepal and India, as well all the knowledge passed down to her by her gracious and ever-inspiring teachers to those willing to hold it close to their hearts.

We are honored and overjoyed to have Lisa as an esteemed member of our teaching team for the Samadhi Yoga Teacher Training program. She makes Yoga Philosophy come alive in the most beautiful and mystical way!

It has been Annie's lifelong desire to serve others and improve the planet we inhabit. Annie (with the help of many others along the way) created Samadhi over eight years ago to fulfill this dharma.

Establishing a strong yoga teacher training program is an important step to awakening the masses to our own glorious truth. It is Annie's heartfelt wish that many will not only learn about how to teach profound and transformational yoga classes, but will also discover a deep and powerful awakening in themselves. This, she believes has the power to positively and radically transform the world.

Let there be Peace. Peace, beautiful Peace. Peace within, Peace without. Peace in this world. Peace in all worlds. Peace for all beings.
