Cat grew up in the San Fernando Valley and was involved in a lot of athletics, but the high impact of traditional sports left her with recurring tendonitis that made even walking for extended periods of time a painful challenge without the help of orthotic braces. When Cat was in college, she learned about a procedure that could help her walk without the braces, and following the surgery she decided to start practicing yoga to improve her balance and mobility during her recovery. The mindful movement practice allowed her to build strength steadily and get in touch with an inner stillness in a way that she had never experienced before. She wanted to share with others what she had found in Yoga through teaching.

When completing her 200 HR teacher training in Vinyasa Yoga in 2013, one of the teacher trainers introduced her to AcroYoga and she fell in love all over again. It was all she wanted to do! The next step was obvious: become an AcroYoga teacher. Since completing her AcroYoga International teacher training in Rio De Janeiro in the Summer of 2018, Cat has been teaching classes and workshops all over the world, across 4 different continents, all while working full time in Post Production for reality and documentary TV. When she’s not sharing the practice internationally, or helping make broadcast television, she’s here at Sender One offering instruction in AcroYoga.

It was in her search for a physical practice that Katie began her journey with yoga. Her background in gymnastics and dance created an immediate connection to the asana practice, but it was the impact yoga had on calming and focusing the mind that really fostered her yoga passion.

Katie completed her 200hr training at Source of Yoga in Los Angeles with Caroline Kliebl and her 300hr training at Zuna Yoga in Bali with Everett Newell.

Her belief is that through yoga we gain strength and vitality, eliminate weakness and train the body and mind to overcome obstacles. When we become more conscious on the mat we take that awareness off of the mat. We start to treat ourselves and others with more respect, a loving energy, and an interconnected spirit.

Taylor took her first yoga class the summer before going to college and did not have a good time. “Why do people do this?” she wondered. At the same time, she noticed that afterward, her body was less tense and her mind was more clear. Intrigued by the effects of yoga, she continued going to classes, even though they weren’t very fun (at first). Slowly, yoga went from being a chore to something she enjoyed, and which she would eventually come to love. After about ten years of practice, she pursued her 200-hour and 300-hour teacher trainings in Mysore, India. Taylor now loves sharing the knowledge that was passed on to her and looks forward to helping you develop your practice.

Nicole received her RYT-200 Hour certification from the YogaWorks Teacher Training program where she was able to study under renowned instructor Chrissy Carter. Here, Nicole developed her teaching style of an “alignment-based flow,” vowing to truly teach yoga asanas through proper posture and positioning. She teaches yoga in the hopes of instilling a deeper understanding of mind-body awareness in all of her students. She has been practicing and enjoying yoga for over 10 years, with more intensive practice during her time at NYU, after attending various studios in NYC. She became inspired to teach yoga due to her forever evolving knowledge in learning to be more open and accepting, both mentally and physically.  In her free time, Nicole enjoys other fitness activities as well, including running, biking and Pilates/Barre. She would like to go on to receive her RYT-500-hour training in the near future, while her long-term goals involve discovering new yogic principles and traveling the world. Nicole Abou-Rjeili received her Bachelor of Arts from NYU and her MBA from Zicklin School of Business

Ryan started practicing yoga back in college as an alternative workout on rest days. Soon after he started to realize not only the physical but the mental and spiritual benefits of yoga. From there he spent many years practicing a variety of styles including vinyasa, yin, Iyengar, Hatha, and acro yoga. Curious to learn more for his personal growth and to lead others, Ryan pursued his 200 RYT certification. He truly believes that yoga is for everyone and hopes students leave his class feeling strong, balanced, and inspired.  When he is not on his mat, he can be found climbing the torch or outdoors exploring nature.
