Jen Pearson has been practicing yoga for over 25 years. Initially, she started doing yoga to find a quiet space and destress while living in New York City. She was drawn to yoga practices and disciplines that focused on the breath, mind-body connection, and body alignment. Over the years, her commitment to yoga grew, and she started to seek out different studios and teachers while traveling for work to learn from them and appreciate their differences or similarities. "A common thread runs through the practice no matter where you are."
Jen completed her 200-hour certification in the Spring of 2016, and since then, she has taught over 500 hours. Currently, she lives in Galveston and teaches a Vinyasa flow class based on the teachings of the late BKS Iyengar. The class focuses on breath, meditation, and body alignment, and is accompanied by soulful and intentional music. "When people tell me that they are not flexible enough for yoga, I assure them that flexibility does not matter. Only two things matter: the breath and a desire to move the body; the rest comes in time."

During high school sports Christopher he found himself getting injured and in pain. In 2008 he committed to a yoga practice at his college rec center. There he found the exercise and sanity his body needed to alleviate injury and pain as well as support his mental health.

Cecilia, or CeCe, is a born and raised Texas gal with Native American and Hispanic roots. During a deeply challenging moment in her life she found yoga as a way to keep her afloat. She was having difficulties finding her space in the yoga community, but was driven to keep up her practice. Her passion and drive for yoga led her to a spiritual breakthrough and continued to transform her practice and her life.
She recently graduated with her 200HR yoga certification from a rigorous and in-depth Yoga School, Sanctuary and Zen Center located in the villages of Lago Atitlan, Guatemala where she underwent a rigorous three week training under the basis of Ashtanga yoga. There she studied under the tutelage of Doron Hanoch. Doron Hanoch is a master yogi with over 20 years of experience and one of the few who was granted the opportunity to deepen his practice with Pattabhi Jois himself.
While she wasn’t a fan of Ashtanga coming into her practice, she ended up loving it and wanting to share it with others. Throughout her classes CeCe thoughtfully engages your inner child in fun ways using humor and precise cuing. She propels students to grow and reap the full benefits of their practice by weaving real connections with each student and creating community.

Shari grew up in Honolulu, Hawii where she developed a deep and profound love of nature.
Her passion for wellness began as she started to feel it slipping away. She was diagnosed with one major illness after another. Lupus, Chronic Fatigue, and Fibromyalgia were some of the labels given her. She spent a lot of time in doctor' offices desperately trying to find answers.
It was not until she started to take control of her own well-being and seek alternative care that she began to feel better. Yoga, Tai Chi and meditation enabled her to calm her nervous system and begin to develop a mastery of her thoughts toward her own journey toward greater health.
Bodywork helped her to release the stress and strain that he had been holding. Once her own energy returned and she was well enough, she began to study the healing arts that had helped her so tremendously.
In additional to the many massage and bodywork practices that she has mastered, Shari is a practitioner of Sound Medicine and conducts Soundbaths using voice, hand-blown crystal bowls, gongs and other instruments to promote deep relaxation and healing.
