Kimberly soon began to expand her teaching beyond therapeutics and now teaches various styles from traditional Hatha classes: Vinyasa, Kundalini and Yin Yoga.

Julie Gammon

Julie Gammon I began my personal journey with yoga at 30 because I couldn´t touch my toes. I continued my home practice off and on for 8 years, before my path of selfhealing and healthful living brought me to enroll in the ShivaShakti School of Yoga teacher training program. The style I teach is a traditional Hatha Yoga with some Vinyasa, Sivananda and Ashtanga influence. I look forward to further studies in yoga with Patricia Walden, in therapeutic yoga, and various other healing modalities. I am continually amazed by the way yoga makes me feel physically, emotionally and spiritually, and I feel extremely privileged to be able to share this ancient form with you.

I believe that every person has the ability to embark on their journey with yoga at any point, in the body they have right now. Rejuvenate your body, reclaim your health and renew your soul!

"I have a deep and profound love of Ashtanga and Vinyasa Yoga. The  transformative power of yoga has changed my life in ways I never expected, and for that I am grateful. My practice infuses me with such peace, love and clarity, that I am compelled to share my passion with others. I am most excited about the collaborative effort that yoga can bring to the members of a community, and I am honored to be a part of the yoga energy in L/A."

Nerys Bayley

Nerys Bayley  My practice is firmly rooted in the traditional style of Ashtanga Yoga which I was introduced to 9 years ago.  I had previously tried other styles of Yoga, but this was the one that really fitted for me.  Being committed to a daily practice is not always easy, but the rewards are well worth it and resound palpably in all aspects of life.  Being able to share this with others through teaching is an honor, and my faith in the practice is continually affirmed by seeing how it touches students. I have been very fortunate to have studied with some amazing teachers, including Nancy Gilgoff and David Swenson. I am very fortunate to study with Kimberly Dahlmann and Karen Varney from YogaEast in Portsmouth, NH.
