5Q Interview @Hemalayaa

1. Tell us about yourself and your introduction to yoga.

My dad is a true yogi, and a house-holder and I was guided by him to practice meditation, devotion and prayer as way to calm body and mind.

My father did some light yoga asana when I was growing up. He said “you must wait until you’re older to do the poses such as headstand”, which he loved to do.

That perked my interest.

When I got into my own yoga asana practice I felt the personal healing benefits and my life changed. I was reborn and I opened up places that my therapist (and other healers) couldn’t reach, and I experienced much relief and release in my first few years of practice. In the first few years of my practice, I chose to be in my own space, and learned asana from a book that one of my best friends gave me. He said he felt that yoga would be good for me…he was right.

BONUS ~ the heavy trauma and drama began clearing (continues to clear)…I could see the “light” (within myself), and got in touch with how I wanted to inspire others to be in their clearest, most radiant and empowered selves.

But first I had to continue healing myself, and realized it doesn’t end…we just go deeper, and get clearer.

I discovered the dynamic mergence of Yoga and Dance together as a potent transformational practice and it ALL went to another level of awakening, healing and inspiration from there.

It is important for me to keep myself (and my clients/students) awake, inspired and LOVING life ~ This is our birthright…my belief is that we just need effective practices to remind us and take us there again and again…that’s what I’m motivated to do!

2. When did you first begin teaching yoga? What made you transition into a leadership position?

I first began teaching by accident. I was apprenticing my ayurvedic doctor who wanted me to begin sharing some simple practices with clients in his clinic. As I was in service for the mission of this holistic way of life, I agreed to teaching.

When I moved to Los Angeles in 2002, I was a Canadian living in the states, and I wanted to be of service even though I couldn’t officially “work” in this country, I wanted to share and contribute so I began offering classes….

Being a creative person as well as an advocate for fitness/yoga, I began the creation of Yoga/Dance and transformational flourishes in my classes. I felt the great benefit in my life, in my body and with my connections. My connection with myself, family and friends changed into one of sweet intimacy and love.

This is when I began saying “I love you to everyone” HAHA, but for real. 🙂 I felt that LOVE was the “easy” part…because we are LOVE…so what are we going to do with it once we recognize that?

I got clear that teaching, making DVD’s and creating workshops for women was what I am destined to do – my first workshop ever was called “The KamaSutra Dance Journey” and was a great success…I felt aligned with sharing the power of being fully embodied as a Divine Feminine: Powerful, Sensual, Creative, Mission-Driven AND Inspired!

And so here I am, a guide, coach, and healer for women to be in their most radiant, authentic and loving selves.

I want to live like this every day and so I teach, and so I live, and so I teach…it’s a little bit selfish 😉

3. What makes your classes unique?

My classes offer a full embodied, life-enhancing experience. You will get some of the same moves plus dance, various exercises to get you out of your mind and into your heart-center AND you’ll receive a ‘life-altering, perspective-upgrade’. I can’t tell you what we do, as it is always different but the final results are the same: we come home to our true self and a deep connection with each other…our human truth. I’m hesitant to say this, because it’s a little new-agey to make a declaration like this…but heck, I’ll say it: In my classes, you will have a unique spiritual awakening that will bring you in touch with a deep part of you that wants to be seen again and again…

4. How does music benefit your guidance in a yoga class?

Music helps open up places that have no words, and releases old ways of thinking, and doing: bringing us into a child-wisdom dancing with present magnificence. Music helps open places that need healing but no amount of words can do the job…sometimes it takes sound vibration (the most powerful vibration) to bring the true light to shine.

5. Tell me about your next event and where we can follow you online.

Dude, you’re everywhere! DTO in DA house!!

5Q Interview @SaraMartinThomas

1. Tell me about your personal journey with yoga. Why is it important to you?

My yoga journey began in 2005. I was a personal trainer needing more physically and spiritually. A friend introduced me to Bikram Yoga. I fell in love w/ how the practice made me feel physically and emotionally. I wanted more. Then my same friend introduced me to Core Power Yoga. I fell in love w/ the style of breath w/ movement, MUSIC, & the community. Teaching and taking yoga is my therapy, my church, my physical workout, my time w/ community.

2. When did you first begin teaching yoga? What made you transition into a leadership position?

I signed up for a Power Vinyasa 200hr teacher training at CPY PL in 2006. I was hired to teach after. I loved it so much I wanted to be a part of everything. I was asked to assist in Teacher Trainings in 2007 which lead to Co-leading the Vinyasa trainings at CPY in PL until 2008. I helped put together and have Co-Lead the 200hr Vinyasa Training at Sculpt Fusion Yoga since 2009.

3. What makes your classes unique?

I am very passionate about all aspects of my classes. Depending on the time of day the lighting is important. MUSIC, I love playing DJ. I love making playlists. I have a degree in Kinesiology. I am aware of alignment and always conscious of balance and flow in class w/ counter poses. I keep it light and fun. I like to make people laugh. I always end class w/ a quote or two that resonates w/ me knowing it will resonate w/ others because we are all the same at the core!

4. How does music benefit your guidance in a yoga class?

Music is everything in class! I put as much time into thinking about the sequence of my class as I do the playlist. The right music can make or break a class. I try to put a little bit of every genre on a playlist. Paying attention to who’s feeling what in class from their movements and facial expressions. Asking my students what they want to hear. Sometimes I will literally add a song to my playlist in the middle of class!

5. Tell me about your next event and where we can follow you online.

I teach mainly at Sculpt Fusion Yoga, two classes a week at Yoga Six in 4S Ranch, ResMed, for the Del Mar WaterPolo Club Team and the Cathedral Catholic HS Boys Varsity WaterPolo Team.

5Q Interview @VinyasaArts

5Q Interview @VinyasaArts Yoga Studio – Andy & Tamara Totman

1. Tell me about your personal journey with yoga. Why is it important to you?

Andy and Tamara Totman have been teaching yoga in North County San Diego, CA. for over 17 years. It’s our love of this kind and compassionate practice that gives us our desire to spread yoga to as many people as we can. It fills our hearts to see people as they become healthier, stronger, more open and calmer.

Our long lasting friendship turned into love. We married in Aug. 2013, opened Vinyasa Arts Yoga Studio in Cardiff by the Sea, Encinitas, Ca. in 2014.

Our style of yoga is challenging yet always light hearted. We believe yoga is to challenge the mind through the body, creating both strength and calmness in the body and mind.

2. When did you first begin teaching yoga? What made you transition into a leadership position?

Andy Totman, co-creator and owner of Vinyasa Arts with his wife Tamara Lafferty-Totman, first fell in love with yoga in 2005. Since then he has combined his personal yoga practice with his commitment to the Martial Arts. He has been practicing Wushu (KungFu), TiChi and Chi Gong since 2007. With his commitment to excellence, high standards, belief in his students, and great sense of humor, Andy guides his students in a challenging, yet accessible, Vinyasa flow. His classes maximizes every minute building the strength needed to reach your goals. He actively works the room providing adjustments, ensuring safety, and proper alignment. His Vinyasa flow includes fun transitions, arm balances, handstands, flexibility, and mindful meditation. Andy’s teaching makes the seemingly “impossible” possible as you’ll leave his classes with a strong body and a clear mind.

Tamara Lafferty-Totman, (ERYT 500), Co-creator and owner of Vinyasa Arts with her husband Andy Totman, has taught yoga in San Diego County for nearly 16 years. Her style of teaching is lighthearted, versatile and creative. Her background is in Ashtanga Yoga and the style she teaches now is Vinyasa Flow yoga level 2/3 and 3/4 (a vinyasa flow that includes arm balances and handstands). Tamara’s classes are a great fusion of powerful Vinyasa Flow with an entrancing mix of contemporary music. Her classes are physically challenging; however, proper alignment, modifications and plenty of hands-on adjustments are essential in her classes. The focal point is exclusively on alignment, movement with breath, core, strength and balance…. and of course a sense of humor!

3. What makes your classes unique?

Finding creativity, uniqueness is all about our style! We Believe yoga is an art form and should be expressed uniquely! individually and with compassion and passion!

4. How does music benefit your guidance in a yoga class?

Conducting classes with live music is by far the best! Plus an added benefit is when you can do it outside in the beautiful San Diego weather! But either way, music has played an extremely vital role in all of our classes. We will spend hours upon hours creating the perfect playlist for each class based on what is the mood/vibe/intent that we want to create for a specific class.

5. Tell me about your next event and where we can follow you online.

Celebrating our grand opening three years ago! We also have our 300 hour yoga teacher training beginning in August! However, one of the biggest hurdles we’ve ever had to accomplish is getting through Andy being diagnosed with cancer for the fourth time in the last three years. We really believe that the love of the yoga community in San Diego, our passion for yoga, and a yoga lifestyle is the reason why Andy still here on this planet! We will continue to teach, run the studio and spread the love of yoga while fighting cancer! We strongly believe that yoga AND community is a Healer of Mind Body and Soul.

5Q Interview @Om-anda

5Q Interview @Om-anda!

1. Tell me about your personal journey with yoga. Why is it important to you?

Amanda is a motivated yogi who found her way on her mat in an effort to stay fit and strong but stayed for the boundless transformational powers of yoga. Growing up as a competitive dancer, she loved being challenged and active but didn’t love the competitive nature of the dance community. After trying a Sculpt class upon moving to San Diego in 2013 she was instantly hooked. The combination of the powerful mental acuity and the physical challenge of yoga, created the perfect balance allowing her to still her mind, breath, and spirit. Amanda has since completed the RYT-200 as well as Yoga Sculpt training programs. She believes the beauty of yoga is in the journey and motivates her students to always appreciate wherever they are, not only in their practice, but in all aspects of life.

2. When did you first begin teaching yoga? What made you transition into a leadership position?

I first began teaching yoga in November of 2013. I made the transition into teaching because I was inspired to share the countless benefits that I had experienced in my own personal practice with others. I wanted to create an experience for fellow yogis that left them feeling not only empowered and strong, but inspired to seek more on a spiritual level. I teach not only in hopes that my student’s build physical strength, but with the main hope that they tap into the connection to the divine, their oneness.

3. What makes your classes unique?

I feel that my classes attract people that are music and energy driven. My class stands out as not only a challenging workout, but as an electric experience where my student’s feed off strong music and intense energy. There is something to be said about being able to combine the rush of hitting your peak moment and pushing yourself beyond your perceived limitations and I feel that my class gives my students the opportunity to do that.

4. How does music benefit your guidance in a yoga class?

Music is a huge drive for my class. Strong beat work with a medium to high BPM is what sets the tone for the real “work” in my class.

5. Tell me about your next event and where we can follow you online.

In addition to my 4 weekly classes at Corepower Yoga. I also host a monthly “Burns and Brunch” event class with a live DJ and option for my students to join me for brunch afterward to connect.

5Q Interview @GeliPaz

5Q Interview @GeliPaz!

1.) Tell me about your personal journey with yoga. Why is it important to you?

I cried after taking my first yoga class. It was so hard and I wanted to be so much further along on my spiritual path than I was! Since day one yoga has been a mirror for me. It always shows me where I am and invites me to love and embrace exactly where that is. The practice is so sacred and empowering to me – it feels so good to spend time steeping in my own body and listening to what it needs. It resets my mind, heals my body and opens my heart. So much beauty!

2.) When did you first begin teaching yoga? What made you transition into a leadership position?

I’ve spent most of my life Listening to the life that wants to live through me and surrendering to where I’m guided. After backpacking around South America for 10+ months I came back to San Diego to figure out my next steps in December 2012. Teaching yoga was a dream I had that I thought of as something I’d do off into the future, later in life. Universe made it clear to me it wasn’t for later, it was for Now. I got my 200 hour with Mosaic starting in January 2013 and haven’t looked back since. Teaching has been one of the biggest gifts life has given me. Teaching at Hapa Yoga, in particular, has been absolutely transformative in the building block foundations it has given me and the community it’s expanded me into. Hapa is home and I am so grateful to all of the opportunities I’ve had along the way to share this practice. I’ve taught yoga in the U.S.A, Indonesia, Cambodia and Japan.

3.) What makes your classes unique?

I’m often told how safe and comfortable I make people feel in class. This always makes me happy to hear as I truly welcome all bodies and beings to the mat. I ask students to tune into their own body and follow their intuition with curiosity and empowerment; if what they need to do looks different than what my voice is saying or different from what their neighbor is doing I always invite them to do it! It is so beautiful to hold space for students to explore, discover and express themselves organically. I am such an advocate of authentic self-expression in all forms. I welcome smiles, tears and everything in between both on and off the mat <3

Another unique element I offer is that I oftentimes incorporate healing energy work into my gentle and yin classes! I am a reiki and thetahealing practitioner and love to merge all of these powerful modalities.

4.) How does music benefit your guidance in a yoga class?

Music is a key element to the tone that is set in class! I spend time each week preparing music to weave into class. I think music can help us tap into our practice on an even deeper level.

5.) Tell me about your next event and where we can follow you online.

I am sharing some spoken word poetry on April 7th at The Point from 7-9pm! The event is being put on by Sojourn Grace Collective who will be raising money for YALLA, a San Diego non profit organization that helps remove the social and economic barriers that face refugee and immigrant youth!

I love to write and share some of my work on my blog — journeywithangelica.wordpress.com.

6. BONUS QUESTION: What else does the world need to know about you?

I am a reiki practitioner and thetahealing practitioner! I am also a doula and have had the pleasure of assisting 12 laboring mama’s bring their beautiful babies into the world. I love holding space for others and helping facilitate growth and healing. Writing was and is one of my first loves, as is travel. I’ve visited over 20+ countries so far and have plans to continue trotting the globe for the rest of my life 🙂 I think one of my biggest missions here on this earth is to LOVE. Love, love and more love. Everybody. All of it.

My first time teaching: I was heading to a 6am class to take it, but showed up to a note on the door that it had been canceled! I hadn’t noticed the sign until I was already at the door unlocking the studio — I worked there and thought the instructor just hasn’t showed up yet so I figured I’d open the doors and get it all rolling. When I realized no one was coming and saw all the students waiting in the parking lot I knew I really didn’t have a choice, the time was now and there was no excuse other than my own fear and hesitation. I taught the class and dove in! We probably held downward facing dog way longer than desirable but hey, you gotta start somewhere! lol

I have been a fitness instructor for 18 years and am passionate about helping my students change their life.

2. When did you first begin teaching yoga? What made you transition into a leadership position?

I began teaching yoga 13 years ago when I completed the first level of YogaFit training with Beth Shaw the creator of YogaFit. It is a fitness based yoga that is easily encorporated into a gym setting which was perfect for the path I was on as a fitness instructor. I knew I wanted to dive in deeper and complete my 200 RYT so I could teach in a studio. Fast forward to spring of 2016 when I finally accomplished this goal and have been teaching at my home studio Hot Yoga Healthy You for almost a year now!

5Q Interview @Ambez_MotoYogi!

1. Tell me about your personal journey with yoga. Why is it important to you?

I came to yoga about 7 years ago. It was initially a social workout with my colleagues at lunch time. It soon became much more than that and transformed into a lifestyle. I enjoyed learning the intentions and nuggets our teacher would share during class that would spark a movement within to be better and stronger as an individual. It gave me a drive to be the best version of myself. Now as a teacher I try to give my students those same “aha” moments and give them new motivation to evolve and grow as an individual.

2. When did you first begin teaching yoga? What made you transition into a leadership position?

I began teaching almost 2 years ago. I embarked on the teacher training journey more so for myself than to teach, but quickly began to enjoy the role of teacher.

3. What makes your classes unique?

I am fully invested and present in the space with my students and feel the energy I bring really connects to them. The environment in the studio is most important to me. Giving them a safe place to practice, themed with well thought intensions and music to coordinate and tell the story each class.

4. How does music benefit your guidance in a yoga class?

I’ve always been guided by music. I love the sounds and beats and how they take over inside. I spend a lot of time on my playlists crafting them to have the energy that I’m looking for in each class. Whether it be slow and mellow, earthy and grounding, meditative, etc. I feel the music sets the tone and pace and completes the class.

5Q Interview with @HotYogaHealthyYou

5Q Interview with Kathie Sonner, Owner of Hot Yoga Healthy You!

Tell me about your personal journey with yoga. Why is it important to you?

Interestingly, I didn’t think I liked yoga. I tried a class or two 10+ years ago and didn’t feel like it did anything for me. When I discovered a heated yoga class, at a friend’s recommendation, the world of yoga opened up within me. There was something so deep and meditative about the heated climate; an exercise of the mind as well as the body. I was absolutely hooked by my 5th class and knew I would open a studio in my town. I wanted to invite my friends and neighbors to explore the healing and meditative qualities of hot yoga & all the amazing benefits.

Tell us about Hot Yoga Healthy You:

HYHY is nestled on the edge of RedHawk in South Temecula; in the south west corner of the Stater Bros shopping center on Temecula Parkway. An easy landmark is Temecula Valley Hospital as we are directly one block south of the hospital. We have a generous parking lot with easy access for the handicapped.

Our studio is warm and inviting with a single yoga room with a custom padded floor. Our classes are 98 degrees and 40% humidity (Sculpt is 94 degrees & no added humidity). We honor silence in the yoga room before and after class and invite you to arrive early to utilize this energetic space to meditate or just relax.

Our mission is to empower individuals to expand their lives mentally and physically through yoga. It brings joy to our hearts to help others live a healthy, joyful and abundant life. HYHY offers a safe haven and opportunity for self discovery to those we serve, our instructor and our community.

What makes your instructors unique?

All of our instructors are trained to give clear and precise language formulas, creating a safe environment for our students. Many options are offered throughout our sequences to accommodate every level of yogi from beginner to advanced. We believe the use of blocks and straps are a sign of strength & body awareness. Each instructor feels a deep connection to their students; a guide to help you grow in your practice, on the mat or off the mat.

50% of our current instructors received their training through our very own 200-RYT Teacher Training program credentialed through Yoga Alliance. We have a 5 star rating and are listed in Yoga Alliance’s National Registry as a Registered Yoga School.

What do your members say about HYHY?

Our number 1 compliment we hear from our students is “I love the vibe here”. Second is the health benefits our members have experienced since beginning their practice at HYHY.

“I’ve been dealing with lower back pain for years and this past month it has gotten worse, but after 4 classes, I am able to be on my belly for more than 5 minutes…something I have not been able to do in years! I love the staff, the atmosphere and most of all the various times they have classes. Just an amazing place!”~Irene Aguilar.

“I would recommend hot yoga for anyone with joint back shoulder pain it is the best to open up those areas and relieve some pressure by doing simple yoga I never imagined I would feel so cleansed and good after a mat session with Becky or any of the instructors.”~Pamela Zook Spangler

“My yoga experience began after a conversation with a physical therapist when I was rehabilitating an injury. I had other friends prior to that tell me I should try yoga for flexibility. I do cross-fit and try to maintain a high level of fitness for a physically demanding career. I read some articles and watched the videos about the benefits of yoga. People raved about the whole mind-body experience. I discovered Hot Yoga Healthy You close to my home and that they offered a free week. I was like, what do I have to lose, and went for the free week. Let me say that my first class I was hooked! Honestly, I had an emotional release in my body on my first practice session. Ok! I get the whole mind-body thing now! I came out if my first class as if my brain had a ‘reset’. I felt clear minded and felt an amazing calmness. I have been going ever since. In fact, I have taken a break from my high level of training to focus on yoga and my flexibility. As for the staff at Hot Yoga Health You! Simply amazing! What a friendly professional group of yoga instructors. I feel completely welcomed and supported in my practice. I wish I would have discovered yoga years ago. I will be a yogi forever. I high recommend HYHY. You must try the studio.”~Stephen Braucht

“My favorite place when it is time to exercise. I love everything about the place, the studio is nice and clean and the instructors are wonderful, especially Heather and her cold towels.
I am so happy that I found this studio, now I really enjoy exercising.”~Gabriella Cirby
