Rachel Fagan

Rachel teaches alignment-based yoga with care for safe and supported practice. She uses her Physical therapy knowledge to help students with physical injuries or limitations.  This can be done in class or in private yoga sessions. She also incorporates mindfulness and breathing techniques.  Her goal is for students to leave a class or a private session feeling more relaxed and centered physically and emotionally.  

Lindsay Majer -  E-RYT 500, RYT 500

Lindsay loves helping you feel good in your body. Her teaching style is warm, welcoming, and thoughtful. She guides students with clear instructions and precise cueing that is easy to understand. You will never feel lost or left behind. With an emphasis on alignment, Lindsay guides a student to finding strength, stability, and flexibility. The results are often more than physical – students feel confident, strong, and balanced.

Lindsay discovered yoga in 1998 and hasn’t stopped practicing since. She completed her 500-hour teacher training in 2016 and her 200-hour teacher training in 2014 both through Lillah Schwartz’s Transformation Yoga Trainings. She continues her studies with senior level teachers, including the Iyengars at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Institute in Pune, India.

When Lindsay is not teaching, practicing, or studying yoga, she is the Director of Mindful Operations for The Tzedek Social Justice Fellowship, a program of the Amy Mandel and Katina Rodis Fund. She holds a Master’s Degree in Geography focused on Community and Regional Planning and a Bachelor’s Degree in Geology focused on Environmental Science. Lindsay loves digging in the dirt making flowers and vegetables grow. She enjoys cooking and spending time dining with friends in Asheville, NC.

Trent Wharton

Trent Wharton has trained since 2013 in the Tai Chi, with focus on the Yang Short form (as presented by Cheng Man Ching in 37 postures.) He learned under Gerald Moose, as a 3rd generation student of Cheng, in which he entered the teaching circle to deepen his learning of T'ai Chi. 

Trent also holds certifications in both medical and practitioner Qigong.

He also spent a large amount of time in his younger years studying Shorinji Kempo karate in which he engaged in leading class as well as competing in competitions, helping to easily apply internal arts to external intent. Almost half his life has been spent in the study of the internal and external arts. 

Trent is registered with the Qigong Institute.

Tammy Wood, Self Love / Hatha Yoga and Herbalist

Tammy Wood began practicing yoga more than 20 years ago to help her arthritis. 

She quickly realized that the pain in her body was intimately connected to the pain in her mind. As the blessing of yoga healed her on many levels, she was called to share her practice as a trained yoga instructor. Her training with several teachers also included instruction in India. 

Her practice focuses on moving stagnant energy, strengthening the body, and calming an overly-reactive, “fight-flight-freeze,” sympathetic nervous system. She includes:

• A loving process to move “stuck” energy with Meridian exercises

• Breath-work

• Protection visualization 

  Tammy is a family herbalist, yogi, farmer and a mother of two. Growing up on a farm, she has been passionately advocating a healthy lifestyle for herself, loved ones and generations to come. For decades she has been wildcrafting and cultivating herbs for the natural medicines that she creates.
