Heidi
Kuyper : My love of yoga started in 1971 with Renee Taylor.
I completed my 1st yoga teacher training certification in 1998 with
Diane Harmon and my 2nd 200 hour training with John Childers in 2003.
I have been teaching yoga since 1998, and at Omadawn since 2001.
I continue to take classes and workshops whenever possible to deepen
my own practice. Expect to learn something new every time you come
to class , but know that each class will emphasize breath to stay
focused, energized, centered and relaxed; you will learn about mantras
and mudras ; experience guided meditations before class and during
Sivasana , and hopefully gain a deeper understanding of the joy of
yoga and how it can transform your life. |

Bill
Ibison : His class is a meditative hatha yoga flow, which
includes slow stretching poses (asanas) to relax the body, standing
asanas to increase stamina and flexibility, and deep rhythmic breathing
(pranayama) to release stress and tension and to focus the mind.
Bill has practiced yoga for over 30 years. He received his primary
training and certification through the White Lotus Yoga Foundation.
He has been involved in a Long Beach cable TV program, "Yoga
for Health" and participated in retreat training at the White
Lotus and the Zen Mountain Center. He lists Krishnamurti, Iyengar,and
Vanda Scaravelli among his influences. Bill finds that Omadawn provides
a supportive and caring environment where he can help his students
become more centered, finding a harmonious balance of mind, body
and spirit. |

Elizabeth
Markley : Elizabeth is a graduate of the Iyengar Institute
of Los Angeles training program with 8 years teaching experience.
To describe her teaching she quotes B.K.S. Iyengar "The long and interrupted
practice of asanas, done with awareness, will bring success". In the
tradition of Iyengar Yoga, Elizabeths teaching style emphasizes alignment,
form, and attention to detail. |

Travis
Ott-Conn : Travis has been an avid yogi and asana practitioner since
2006. Focused on experiencing and absorbing knowledge of the postures,
philosophy and lifestyle of a yogi and incorporating it into his way of life. A foot fracture, knee injury and other health issues had all been motivating
factors in drawing Travis to yoga. His experiences in his personal practice as well as a love of helping others
to experience the benefits for themselves motivate him to teach! He completed his yoga teacher
training with the International Sivananda Yoga Vendanta Centre
in Garopaba, Brazil in February 2008. Being a CSULB graduate in fine art and an illustrator
in the bio-medical field has also informed his personal experience.
His classes focus on relaxation, breathwork and slow, systematic alignment
into the various yoga postures.

Jenny Ahn :
Jenny finished her 500 hour Teacher Training from YogaWorks, mentoring
with Jeanne Heileman, diving deeper into the "subtle" aspects
of yoga such as meditation, pranayama, ayurveda, etc. bringing
the sacred into her practice. Also influence from Iyengar keeps
Jenny's classes focused on alignment allowing the energy to flow
freely, so that everyone is practicing safely working towards healing
and growth. Jenny believes that the goal of Yoga is to come back
to Wholeness, not only in body, but mind and spirit, so that we
can live to our fullest potential. |

David Hennage - David began his yoga practice 12 years ago as an ashtanga student. His basic teacher
training was in vinyasa. In January 2010 David completed his 500 hours of teacher
training in both vinyasa and kudalini yoga. At Omadawn, David specializes in gentle
yoga where he combines viniyoga and vinyasa creating his own unique style of
teaching. David’s teaching is grounded in a deep appreciation of the classical philosophy
articulated by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras and his study of Buddhist meditation. He has
coined the phrase Sutra Yoga to describe his classes.
As someone who was began his practice later in life, David have real appreciation for
beginning practitioners, but also realize how far someone at any age can advance in their
practice with steady commitment and determination. For David, yoga truly is a way of
life - a way of keeping fit, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Through teaching, he
shares his experiences on the yoga path, both on and off the mat. |
