About

Vanessa M Chambers has been practicing yoga since the birth of her son in 2003. Once she realized yoga was so much more than a weight loss program, she was hooked. She completed her 200 hour teacher training program in 2008 and has been teaching ever since. She is currently enrolled in a 300 hour advanced training program with Lauren Toolin. Vanessa is dedicated to sharing the techniques of yoga to everyone who is interested in listening. Her life has become a workshop for yogic techniques and as her knowledge grows, her awareness is honed, and she is better able to assist her students in practicing in a safe and effective way.

Jennifer has been practicing yoga for 12 years and has a dedicated personal practice. She received her 200HR Yoga Teacher Certification at Heartspace Yoga & Healing Arts in Albany, NY, in April of 2012. She is currently enrolled in a 300HR advanced training program. She is grateful for her teacher Lauren Toolin and for the guidance, passion and love that she provides. Jennifer has always been interested in whole living and has a passionate belief in yoga’s limitless potential for creating a healthy, successful and loving existence. Her teachings are drawn from her knowledge of classical yoga, Hatha Yoga and Tantra. Typical classes with Jennifer include pranayama (breathing techniques), skillfully sequenced asana (physical postures), meditation and relaxation. Her classes are accessible to practitioners of all levels and modifications are always provided. Jennifer enjoys her yoga practice, being in nature and spending time with her family. "Yoga has had a tremendous impact on my life. It has supported and sustained me through many changes, transitions, challenges, struggles, and successes. It has also helped to get & keep me healthy, and on a good path regarding my health & wellness."

Carrie began practicing yoga 17 years ago at various health clubs and hot power yoga studios in the Greater Boston area as a part of her physical fitness routine. In 2004, she signed up for Yoga by the Sea, a summer-long sunrise and sunset yoga al fresco series. She expected ocean-side yoga, but got much more. This was her introduction to practicing the Iyengar method, which seemed slow (and even boring) at first; however, with an emphasis on form and alignment, her practice advanced more that summer than it had in the four years prior. Over time, yoga became an essential part of Carrie’s life, both on and off the mat. Through a decade of being dedicated to her practice, Carrie was transformed physically, mentally and spiritually. During a few years of major life transitions, Carrie let her yoga practice slip, and felt the effects. She began practicing classical hatha yoga at Lilananda Yoga in 2015. In an effort to deepen her personal practice, she completed 200-hour teacher training with Lauren Jay Toolin of Yoga Vidya in 2017, and is registered to begin 300-hour advanced training this year. Throughout teacher training, Carrie was repeatedly amazed by the intensity and effectiveness of classical hatha and tantra yoga asana, pranayama and meditation practices. While it had not been her intention to teach, Carrie feels compelled to share this ancient lifestyle philosophy that is as relevant as ever in today’s world.
