Gina is owner and director of Hidden Haven Yoga. Gina completed both her 200 hour & 500 hour advanced yoga certification under the guidence of Linda Winnick of Shakti Yoga Woodstock.  Gina's training has included studies in Asana (postures), Pranayama (breathing techniques), Meditation, Anatomy and Physiology, the science of Ayurveda, Sanskrit and Yoga Philosophy as well as training in Thai Yoga Bodywork and Raindrop Therapy.  Gina’s teaching style is drawn from various traditions that have influenced her both as a student and teacher.  Classes are a blend of Vinyasa flow (linking of movement and breath) and a focus on safe, postural alignment.  Yoga sequences are spontaneous and creative to keep the class fresh & new.   Classes often include motivating music to help the practitioner connect mind, body & spirit.  Gina’s mission is to create a compassionate and nurturing environment allowing students to feel supported as they learn and grow in their personal practice.  Her classes include hands-on adjustments and optional positions to support the different needs and skill levels of all students. Gina also writes about yoga for Elephant Journal.com. http://www.elephantjournal.com/2011/04/yoga-mantras-and-taking-my-own-advice--gina-dubois/

 

The first time Leigha took a yoga class, she felt somehow like she had become more herself. That was twelve years ago. These days, she's deeply in love with the spirited movement of Ashtanga and Vinyasa yoga. Her attraction to the practice is as much about mysticism and philosophy as it is about flexibility and strength. Her classes are rhythmic, flowing and promise to challenge each student's physical limits. Her teaching certification was earned under Michael Stein of Ashtanga Yoga of New Paltz whose teacher training emphasizes anatomical alignment and thoughtful sequencing. Leigha writes about yoga, happiness and sustainability at http://www.elephantjournal.com/author/leigha-butler/">Elephant Journal and Willows Wept Review. When she's not in the studio, she's teaching English Literature at Mount Saint Mary College or exploring the world on her kayak, in books and on foot.
