Lisa Moore is a certified Hatha Yoga Instructor, PiYo Instructor, Prenatal, and Kids Yoga Instructor. Her background as a gymnast and dancer throughout her childhood made the transition into yoga a natural process. Yoga has been a part of her life since childhood.

Starting the practice of yoga in childhood is a great way to compliment and balance other activities and it is an activity that can be continued throughout your lifetime.

Debra Corso
Certified Yoga Teacher

It is with love and thanks to all of my teachers, past and present that I come to my mat and my life each day. My teaching and my life has been shaped by many gifted teachers but I am particularly thankful for Dr. Bill Player who with unfailing kindness provided the mirror to my own heart, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois for the Yoga that changed my life, Karyn Stillwell for her excellent teaching; Rolf Gates: you are one of my forever teachers and I thank you for all that you are and all that you continue to contribute to my awakening. Lewis Rothlein, my primary teacher- for the countless hours and ways in which you have lovingly nurtured my practice and helped me to cultivate my voice as a teacher- I Love You!!!!

My training as an instructor includes study with a variety of skilled and respected yoga luminaries including: David Swenson, David Williams, Rolf Gates, Kathy Mcnames, Ana Forrest, Karyn Stillwell, Edward Clark and an all too brief time with Guruji. In matters of influence and inspiration, I cite my own daily practice as heads and shoulders above all else.

I have enjoyed the privilege of teaching at Satori Yogashala in Sanford, for LULULEMON as an Ambassador, at the Citrus Club, Aiguille Climbing Center, Guruv Yoga, In Balance Yoga and Full Circle Yoga in Winter Park.

I believe in presenting a yoga class with articulate verbal instruction and hands on assists that are both meaningful AND compassionate. I enjoy peppering classes with wisdom teachings from many varied traditions and paths. My classes, no matter how challenging are an invitation to fearless self-examination and inner stillness that will promote a toned, healthy body and a mind that has been quieted so that at last…you can hear with complete clarity the voice of your heart.

Sarah Morgan, RYT
Certified & Registered Hatha Yoga Teacher

Sarah Morgan discovered yoga in 2004 when a couple of friends dragged her to a Power Yoga classes at the YMCA, but was hooked after a workshop with Bryan Kest! She loved the yoga philosophy regarding compassion and non-judgment and couldn’t deny how the physical practice made her feel. In 2007, Sarah began to focus solely on yoga, which, at the time, was Ashtanga. Eventually, she began to think outside of the Ashtanga box and began to practice more vinyasa yoga, which challenged her in a different way. So many of the postures were new to Sarah – it was humbling and forced her to be patient and accepting of where she was – at that moment. Eventually, Sarah progressed to a point where she thought she might benefit from teacher training, not to become a teacher but to deepen her practice. In January 2011, Sarah began her nine-month journey to become a 200-hour RYT. As a new teacher, Sarah hopes to bring the same sense of kindness, honesty and integrity to her teaching as she does in her own practice.

Juliette Woronov, RYT
Certified & Registered Hatha Yoga Teacher

I’ve tried on many hats in my lifetime, becoming a yoga teacher was a natural evolution. Movement has always made me happy. I worked in music, I worked with fruit and now I work with bodies. Helping people to feel comfortable and alive in their skin. I started yoga in 2001, I was drawn by curiosity, intrigued by my parents bohemian background, and as a way to get in shape. The benefits for my body were instant, but also a calm and deep sense of joy took hold of me. As the years passed, ups and downs, yoga was always by my side. Eventually I moved to France and studied yoga under Gerard Arnaud in Paris, a Vinyasa expert, with him I travelled to India and intensified my practice. I never felt so alive and connected with the Earth and the people around me. Now I have come back to Orlando to share what I’ve learned but also to create a sense of harmony with what we live day to day and our deepest passions. Each class I teach is a little bit different depending on who’s there with me. I like to focus on breath, and to help each person feel and stretch their body no matter what shape. In our practice we will clear our head, inhabit our body and come out with a deeper sense of self and connection.
