CAMI GREEN
My name is Cami Green, and I am a certified hot yoga instructor. Being relatively new to the practice, I am beyond grateful for the benefits it provides for myself, and other yogis I know, and teach. In 2014 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. With the treatment plan I was given yoga has most definitely been a blessing. I am thriving, and so excited to share my love, and passion with others. I am a single mother with 2 children. My 16 year old daughter Cloey, and 5 year old son Hawk. We love spending time together, and being outdoors. I am very close with my family and friends, truly believing that is what is most important in life. Namaste.

ERIN PENA
My goal as a yoga instructor is to guide you in the practice that serves you the best for the person you are today. Yoga is for everyone and when we practice without expectation of outcome, we allow ourselves to grow. When I began my yoga practice 5 years ago, I was convinced that I didn’t fit because my body didn’t look like the other bodies in the room. I quickly learned that yoga is for EVERY BODY. After fracturing my spine a year ago, my practice intensified and I credit yoga for allowing me to heal. Becoming a yoga teacher is my way of sharing the truly magical gifts that yoga has given me! See you on your mat! Come as you are! Namaste!
LAUREN BOWD
"Born in Wales, but raised in the Pacific Northwest, Lauren is thrilled to be able to share her passion for practicing yoga with the people in her community. Yoga has been a part of Lauren’s life for over 10 years, and she cannot think of any place more comforting than a yoga studio. After taking some time away from a dedicated practice and becoming more of a gym rat, she fell in love with yoga all over again due to its incredible and unique combination of challenging the body and calming the mind. Lauren is proud to have completed her 200 hour Inclusive Vinyasa Teacher Training Program with Northwest Yoga Society. She is a thoughtful and encouraging teacher who weaves both playfulness and inspiration throughout her classes. Lauren hopes that her students will leave class feeling refreshed, comforted, connected, and empowered. She will always consider herself to be a student first, and is grateful for the wisdom that her teachers have shared with her. In addition to yoga, Lauren is a huge fan of nerding out about dinosaurs, watching videos of baby hippos, and eating spicy vegan food. When she is not on her mat, she can be found helping people find their dream homes, adventuring in the PNW wilderness, or relaxing with her cat, Nona."
TAYLOR FOSS
Hi my name is Taylor and I’m certified in Vinyasa and Yin yoga. I took my first yoga class in 2009 at a community college. I was hooked immediately and continued to practice on and off in the following years. It wasn’t until I was in a car accident that I discovered just how beneficial yoga was for my body and I started practicing regularly. It gave me more relief than any chiropractic or massage treatments ever had. I was nervous and a little unsure of becoming a teacher but I soon fell in love with creating new yoga sequences and I discovered my passion for helping people grow their practice.
