Meet your Madrona YOGA Teachers:

Renee Klein: Renee is a Registered Yoga Therapist (RYT 500) who teaches in Port Townsend and Seattle. Trained in the therapeutic Viniyoga lineage with extensive study with numerous learned yogis of different traditions, she emphasizes accessibility in her teaching -- yoga is for everybody and every body, an ancient practice where bodies, minds, hearts and spirits can be healed and enriched. 

Jen Bates:  I completed my teacher training at Samadhi Yoga in 2009. My practice has been inspired by many: Sogyal Rinpoche, Ruth Zaphora, Angela Farmer, and Kathleen Hunt to name a few. I'm also certified to teach Hard Style Kettlebells. Currently I enjoy powerlifting, poetry, and my two amazing kids. My classes focus on mobility, strength and awareness through innovative sun salutations, and slow, careful stretches. During class my hope is that students have fun, (yoga is not a test after all), and learn something new about themselves. The body is a vehicle for enlightenment and we are eclectic travellers on original paths. May yoga be a part of your journey. Jai!

Shayann Hoffer:  Shayann started taking and teaching classes with Mary Beth Nehl in 2006 "It was an instant connection to Mary Beth and to the ancient teachings of yoga."  She completed her 200 hour teacher training with Mary Beth in 2007.  She has taught in Minnesota, Canada, and 2 years in Maui; always dedicating her time to taking her own practice of yoga deeper.   She has studied Maya yoga and Svadhana, delved into vibrational healing and mantras.  She is also an artist and painter.  Shayann's gentle teaching style and vibrant energy welcomes you to her new classes.

 “Yoga brings me closer to wholeness. I feel closer to the truth while tending to the physical body.  This, and the awareness in breath brings strength and flexibility to the emotional, psychological, and spiritual side of my existence. It's hard to imagine life now without it.  This ancient knowledge that has found its way to us, guiding us to see ourselves as connected, is truly a gifted seed to spread. I teach yoga because it is my dharma; IT found me as I found IT, to honor this, I honor you.  I encourage all those whom want to learn more about themselves to join me in these classes, in this life, for the sake of love.”
