Susanne’s early experiences with yoga began as a small girl practicing along in her fuzzy pink pajamas with PBS’ Lillias, Yoga, and You. Many years later she tiptoed shyly into a class at the local gym searching for a way to alleviate stress and anxiety. She has been a devoted practitioner ever since, exploring many different styles and teachers.  
Susanne firmly believes in the accessibility of yoga, and that anyone and everyone can experience its joy as well as its physical and mental benefits. Susanne is a student of yoga first and foremost, studying with amazing teachers from all over the world. Susanne has been teaching since 2010, and is registered with Yoga Alliance. In addition to Hatha Yoga, Susanne teaches the mindful practices of Yin and Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra. She is a Certified iRest® Yoga Nidra Instructor, and has assisted in numerous trainings, retreats and immersions.
​
With Susanne, you can expect a class that is approachable, balanced, and a little bit playful. You might hear the occasional giggle or “ya’ll”. You will be encouraged to explore how poses feel in your body and maybe discover something new about yourself or experience a pose in a different way.

Off the mat, Susanne enjoys hiking and traveling with her husband and celebrating life with family and friends.
Amanda has been teaching since 2013, and loves the whole-body support asana provides. She found yoga at a time when her mental and emotional state needed support, and feels that tuning into the body is an essential tool to navigate life's mind-focused culture. Ultimately, Amanda believes in using yoga to nourish yourself, and will often bring in vibration (a singing bowl or gong) to aid that process.
In her asana classes, you'll experience a slow, deliberate style, with a focus on alignment, mixed in with humor and practicality. You will leave with a sensation of having worked hard without completely tiring yourself out. Amanda always incorporates steady breath work, while bringing in a mental component or theme so you can take yoga where it counts – off the mat, and into your life.
Linda Oshins, ERYT-500 since 2002, dates her every-day practice of yoga back to 1987, and she has been teaching yoga since 1997. She is also a Reiki Master who studied under Katherine Dufrane and other energy healers, and teaches energy practices as a way self-revelation.

Linda has made the practice and study of pranayama her particular focus for many years, wrote the manual Pranayama: A Compendium of Practices, and teaches a 6-month web-based course on pranayama using the manual as its foundation. She is currently writing a book on healthy breathing.
 
Until she moved to Seattle four years ago, she owned and operated Yoga on High, a large yoga studio and teacher training institute in Columbus, Ohio, and has designed and run teacher training programs registered with Yoga Alliance since 2001. 

Linda is excited to become a part of ongoing inquiries into energy and breath at The Yoga Tree.
Coming from a background of gymnastics and modern dance, Kristin was first attracted to yoga by its physical benefits and discipline. However, once she began she quickly found the true gift of the practice: peace of mind and emotional health and well-being. Kristin completed her 500hr training from Sunstone Academy in 2009 and has been in love with teaching ever since.  

Kristin’s greatest passion is helping others connect with and find freedom in their bodies so that they can move and live to their fullest potential. Her classes emphasize building a solid foundation with strength and proper alignment, while also finding ease in asana and cultivating careful observation of the body and mind.  Outside the classroom Kristin works one-on-one with students as an LMT and practices Traditional Thai Massage. This combines bodywork and herbal therapies to help bring clients physically, mentally, and emotionally back into balance.
Shubha believes breath has the ability to influence physical, physiological, and emotional health. Through her yoga classes, she focuses on connecting her students with this natural healing tool present in all of us all the time as long as we are alive. All her classes focus on connecting the mind and body through breath, and she is trained to adapt and modify the asanas to serve the student's needs.

She feels fortunate to receive her first Yoga training a decade ago in the T.Krishnamacharya yoga tradition, which focuses on the therapeutic benefits of Yoga using various tools like asana, pranayama, chanting, and meditation.  She continues to get guided by the teachers and mentors from this tradition in her lifelong journey of Yoga.

She loves to do private, semi-private sessions for the students interested in developing their personal practice or pranayama, chanting, Yoga philosophy (Yoga sutras), and ayurvedic cooking.
Jodi Boone has taught restorative yoga teacher trainings since 2012 in India, Japan, Switzerland, and Seattle. Loving all things soft and gentle, she was naturally drawn to practicing restorative yoga. She studied with Judith Lasater in 2015, which inspired her practice and teaching. As a massage therapist, Ayurvedic practitioner, and Reiki practitioner, Jodi is deeply aware of how gentle practices can be profoundly nourishing and healing physically, mentally, and emotionally. Jodi is currently studying counseling psychology at The Seattle School, where she is specializing in trauma therapy.
A movement teacher for over 20 years, Heather (Danso) Emanuel’s loves sharing supportive practices: Restorative Yoga, Reiki, and the Feldenkrais Method® of Somatic Education. She empowers students to find paths to increase their own skillful resourcefulness, recover functionality, and reduce pain. She’s a master at adapting poses and practices to the individual, and empowers folx to sense and expand their own intuition and self-knowledge. Her passionate belief in movement as healing has led her to study yoga for movement disorders, Pre and Postnatal yoga, senior yoga, as well as somatic movement modalities. She is a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner and LMT with expertise in functional anatomy and movement.
