500RYT

In 2004, I found my mat on a cold winter night in the mountains of Whistler British Columbia and was instantly hooked. After 10 yrs, 5 cities and 2 countries, I realized how important it was to have balance in my life. It was that realization that brought me straight back to my mat. In 2016, I plunged into teacher training to become RYT200 with CorePower Yoga. With a strong personal practice and svadhyaya, I found Jason Crandell in San Francisco and completed his 300hr training at Love Story Yoga in 2019. In 2020, as a forever student, I became a certified Yoga Tune Up® Instructor, a style of conscious corrective exercise that strikes a balance between the worlds of yoga, fitness, and myofascial self-care. Today, I continue to spark excitement within myself to spread and share my yoga experience through physical and mental movement focusing my asana teachings on strength, function, and range of motion.

Wes Linch

Wes is a Hatha Yoga instructor, with over 15yrs of practice and having received over 1200hrs of training, primarily in the Krishnamacharya lineages.  He has studied extensively modern Vinyasa Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, Shadow Yoga, and Viniyoga.  Currently, he is continuing his training and studies with Nicki Doane (Maya Yoga), Kristin Bosteels, and Eddie Modestini(Yoga on the Inside).  He has had the privilege of studying in-depth with Mynx Inatsugu(Yogaworks and Viniyoga) and Mark Horner (Shadow Yoga).

Wes focuses primarily on bridging the gap between breath, alignment, and awareness.  He aims to make the energy of the practice relevant on and off the mat by introducing traditional yogic teachings with a modern twist.  His classes are fun, sweaty, challenging, and full of great humor and heart.

Sophia Mallie CYI, CMT

Sophia first found yoga when she was moving forward in a dancing career, but having a hard time in life.
Through the struggle of perfectionism, self-criticism, and an eating disorder, she found healing in yoga. Her passion is to help others feel at home in their body and more happiness in their life.
Her classes weave a combination of uplifting music, intelligent sequencing, emphasis on proper alignment, and breathing techniques. She is known for her calm nature and ability to provide support to the needs of each student.

Sophia’s teaching style is inspired by her world-acclaimed teachers: Sharon Gannon and David Life of Jivamukti Yoga. Other teachers she’s been lucky to study with are Janet Stone, Kia Miller, Jason Crandell, and Shiva Rae. When she isn’t on the yoga mat, you’ll find her performing with her singing group Copper Wimmin or leading her next tropical yoga retreat!

Marlena Salinas

I started studying and practicing yoga casually after the birth of my son in 1996, and have always known that one day I wanted to teach it as well. I completed a 200 hr yoga teacher training program in 2011, and have been teaching ever since. Teaching yoga has brought me the inner balance I’ve been searching for my entire life, and it has become my passion to share that journey with my students. It is my goal with every class to keep students present in the moment, to cultivate a fun atmosphere, to challenge every practitioner to explore the depths of their physical and mental abilities, and to show them that yoga is for everybody at every level, health, age, and stage of life.

Forever a student, I like to teach the way I like to practice, so in my classes, you can expect to be challenged and encouraged to try new things within your comfort zone and maybe just past your perceived boundaries. Mindful movement, communal motivation, meditation, and fun are always anticipated… and humbly leaving pretension and stress in a pool of sweat on your mat is inevitable. I look forward to sharing my journey of yoga with you and seeing how we can grow and learn together.

Siobhan

Siobhan, pronounced “Sha-von”, has early memories of practicing yoga to VHS tapes in the living room of her childhood home with her mom and sister. As a dancer, she was drawn to the movement of yoga and the sense of calm she would experience after. Fast forward to high school, she started attending classes at the local YMCA and then more regularly in college in Santa Barbara and then at various studios in San Francisco. Yoga has always been incredibly grounding for daily life and anchoring during especially tough times. Siobhan knew she wanted to pursue teacher training for many years and was finally able to do so, graduating from Left Coast Power Yoga’s 200-hour program in May of 2022.

During her classes, you can expect to focus on your breath, notice your current state without judgment, and become attuned to the present moment all while flowing through alignment-focused asanas or poses. Siobhan believes in yoga’s ability to reconnect our breath, body, mind, and spirit so that we can be more present and comfortable as we move about this life. Siobhan teaches using a trauma-informed lens and welcomes all bodies into a shared, community practice. She spends much of her time outside of yoga playing with her toddler, coordinating mindfulness programs for elementary school children, and enjoying nature. Next, she plans to take Jane Austen’s prenatal yoga teacher training in Fall 2022. She hopes to see you on the mat. You can follow her on Instagram: @_yogawithsiobhan
