Javier Mondragon

Hello my name is Javier. I started on this path of yoga around 12 years ago. I have gone through different branches and certifications such as Rocket, Ashtanga, Vinyasa and Restorative.
This led me to learn from different teachers like David Kyle, Kino Mcgregor, Umma Ainder, Sri Dharma Mittra and even exploring other ways to go within and help others with tools like Reiki with Patti Penn & Movemeant with Tamara Levingson.
I am constantly preparing myself. I have a certification in Muscle Kinetic Chains & Injuries & Pathologies of the Fisiom method. All this has given a twist to my way of giving a yoga class since I have obtained more tools to work the body and mind from a biomechanical point of view.

Selene

My first yoga class was 20 years ago, and since then, I knew it would be something that would accompany me for life. Yoga is my way of life, my balance and my center. Teaching became my dream, and I pursued it by certifying as an RYS 500-hour registered Yoga teacher, complemented by various courses in meditation and pranayama. My ‘sankalpa’ (intention) in each class is for every student to feel a perfect balance, emphasizing mindful movement and breath. Regardless of their level of experience, I aim for each student to find both challenge and relaxation in the practice.

As an instructor of Hatha and Vinyasa yoga, I offer a comprehensive, inclusive, and transformative experience. Prepare to be guided through a carefully curated practice that goes beyond the physical, leaving participants with a sense of balance, strength, and inner calm.

Mafer

I was born and Raised in Guadalajara, México. Passionate, loving and playful is how I describe myself.

About Me: 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training at Swami Asura Kapila Ashram with Matali Lakshmi Devi and acquired an in-depth knowledge about postures, breathing techniques, and spiritual elements of yoga teaching.

My classes: Are made in deep desire to help people heal and grow. It doesnt matter if it is a fast paced Vinyasa flow or a therapeutic yin yoga; I focus on the breath more than anything, because it is through breath that we can ease the muscles and go deeper and to avoid injuries in the postures & is also the breath that ease the mind to let go of expectations and judgements. As these 2 are responsible of a lot of the suffering in our lives. I love to have inversions in my classes because they challenge our mindsets and our bodies and I also love long savasanas with neck massage. I am honored with every person that trusts their practice in my guidance and my life mission is to shared the wisdom and healing of Yoga & Thai Massage.

Jaunie Federowicz

Hello, I’m Jaunie. I have been practicing yoga for 27 years and teaching for about 17 years. My yoga education and certifications are on a broad range. Both Ashtanga, Therapeutic Yoga and Somatic Yoga Therapy make up my approximately 700 hr yoga teacher trainings.

I have owned my own private practice, and worked/taught in studios in both California and Colorado. In addition, I mentored and supervised yoga therapy teachers-in-training for 5 years. I have also been on staff for Yoga Alliance teacher certifications, as well as staff on yogic retreats held in Hawaii and Canada.

I believe yoga is a genuine gift. It is personal. It is experiential. It is your time to breathe, move, be in the present moment and have fun!! Yoga is union of our body, mind, spirit and soul. Pretty cool stuff!!

As one of my teachers was fond of saying: “Do your yoga and all is coming…” I look forward to meeting you!!!

Elisa

HOLA! I’m Elisa and I am a 500 hour registered yoga teacher. Yoga is my passion, my religion, my release, and my lifestyle. My first introduction to the practice was at the age of 9 when my Mum had scheduled private yoga lessons for my dad, brother, her and I weekly. But it was not until the early months of 2017 that I reintroduced a more consistent practice into my daily life. And then several months after, I found myself in Bali, Indonesia for a 200 hour Hatha-Vinyasa teacher training course at the Power Of Now Oasis. I began teaching weekly classes at a yoga shala in Napa California immediately following my return. My passion for this practice led me to India in October of 2019 where I completed my 300 hour Vinyasa training course with a focus on Ashtanga Adjustments at Kranti Yoga in Goa. I love discovering and challenging the body to flow through unknown territories with mindfulness and compassion towards its limitations. With me, you’ll find the secret dance within your soul that is expressed when the breath becomes the conductor. I strive towards creating a safe and comfortable environment that will keep my students smiling and on their toes!

Ivanna

I started practicing Yoga in 2016 and took my first vinyasa certification in Bali Indonesia. I have been a practitioner of Ashtanga vinyasa Yoga for 5 years which allowed me to teach the first series of Ashtanga. I have practiced with great masters from Latin America such as Angie Flores and Mati Guerra. In my classes you can take your practice to another level, being more aware of the movement and the subconscious. I have the honor of working as Manager at Cabo Yoga & Fitness. My classes are for those people who are looking for something more than just following a sequence.

Audrey Lane

I am a Forrest Yoga Guardian-In-Training mentor teacher and E-RYT 500 Yoga Alliance certified. I have been teaching yoga since I did my first training in 2011. I draw from my Forrest Yoga background and experience in vinyasa yoga, dance, yoga bodywork, and anatomy to bring a depth and breadth of knowledge to my teaching. I believe in doing and teaching what works and respecting the inner authority of students to decide what works for them. My specialties are helping students move in a way that helps them get out of pain and making my classes always exciting, fun, and inclusive. Come join me for a class! You wont regret it.

Emilia Moran

Hello! I am Emilia Moran, a 23 year old mexican and Cabo local. The first time I got introduced to yoga was when I was 9 years old and I enjoyed it so much that I started taking classes. Eventually I rediscovered it on July 2023 when I started my 200 hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training without thinking too much of it, and it ended up becoming my passion, hobby and now job as well.

 

Yoga has completely changed my life and I have found not only complete bliss and peacefulness when I am in my flow and when I am consistent with my practice (both on and off the mat), but also when I am teaching. I feel genuine happiness by being able to transmit the same emotions that I feel through yoga to my students. My classes are mostly power flows and I focus on teaching how to deep breath throughout the whole class, since I have noticed that you are able to experience more power, strength and ease in a pose by focusing on your breath. I also love playing music in my classes and syncing the asanas to the songs. I speak English and Spanish fluently and I have experience teaching in both languages.

 

Even though I have not been a yoga teacher for that long, luckily I have had a lot of opportunities to teach which has made me feel very confident as an instructor.

 

I believe yoga is a form of medicine for the soul and the body, and by being consistent with it you can achieve true happiness and freedom.
