Alicia Cuglietta, RYT

I discovered Yoga one day while taking my kids to an art workshop.  The workshop was being held at The Blue Heron Yoga Studio in Cedar City, Utah. Everything about the place spoke to me.  After reading through some of the material I was completely drawn to it. It was beautiful, alluring and a little intimidating at the same time. Unfortunately I did not have the means to take any classes at that time and forgot about it until some years later.  After moving back to Vegas and discovering Yoga Zone on the Health Network one day, I began my practice on the carpet of my living room. I felt so great afterward I decided it was for me.  I bought a mat, practiced daily along with my TV and soon began taking classes around town.  Before I knew it, I was enrolled in the Living Yoga Program to become certified and someday teach myself. 

I have been teaching now for over 7 years and practicing for more than 9.  It is one of the great loves of my life and I am grateful each day to be able to share this gift with others.

I have been enamored with the art of Yoga from the moment I first surrendered and soared in Mountain Pose.  I am deeply inspired by the poetry of the body dancing to the music of the breath, a Spirit Song.  My personal practice has been guided by many dedicated Yoga teachers from various lineages, most profoundly by the grace of Erich Schiffmann.  Over the past 10 years, I've had the honor of teaching Yoga while sharing much love, laughter, and learning in the Las Vegas community.  Let's expand our consciousness and our circle of friends...Warriors, come out to play!

Lauren Verona, RYT

Lauren set out her practice with the intention of only working on her physical body.  She quickly began to notice how yoga seemed to change her life, on and off the mat.  Within a week, she observed   a difference in her way of thinking.  Yoga started out as an exercise and evolved into a way of life.  With a strong desire to learn and grow more, she traveled to India and Costa Rica to discover different lineages.   Lauren teaches a Vinyasa based class that emphasizes on linking one breath with each asana creating a meditation in motion.   She is registered through Yoga Alliance and has completed an integral approach certification.  Through teaching yoga Lauren attempts to inspire and impart wisdom, courage and resolution.

Eileen Mohr, RYT

I discovered Hatha Yoga during my sophomore year in college after reading Autobiography of a Yogi, by Parmahansa Yogananda.  In 1998 I began Yoga Teacher training in Seattle, Washington. 

I later discovered Viniyoga, a tradition that focuses on the needs of the individual, a style of yoga that adapts to an individual, a yoga for everyone.  I have bee fortunate to have studied with gary Kraftsow and T.K.V. Desikachar in this tradition.

In 2000, I attended the labor support course through Seattle School of Midwifery, and became a certified birthing doula and soon began studying prenatal/postnatal yoga and was certified.

I blend my love of alignment, humor, and finding stillness through the flow of breath and movement of the body as I teach.

Gina's interest in yoga began as child, introduced to it by her neighbor and also her aunt. It wasn't until she was a young woman that she began her own practice. Later in life, opening her heart and door to a friend in need when she needed a place for herself and children to live, this friend taught Gina the ins and outs of teaching yoga. Gina began teaching years ago in California, having her own home studio in Lone Pine, CA until she relocated here to Vegas in 2007. 

Stacey Hall - Nia Instructor

I am 51. Through Nia, I cured my asthma, lost weight, relieved the pains in my legs, and learned how to have fun! I became a Nia teacher to help others feel better in their bodies and move through life with dynamic ease. I am a 3rdlevel (Brown Belt) Nia Technique instructor. I teach public and private classes. I am also an essential oil enthusiast. What intrigues me most about Nia is that even after 12 years of classes, I never feel bored or limited by the routines...no matter how many times I dance them.  I encourage people to attend a Nia class to discover new ways of moving with ease to expand creativity and to have an hour of purely playful opportunities that can help you to cope with whatever comes your way during the day.
