Abby
Abby is an ACSM certified personal trainer and in the spring of 2015 completes the fitness professional program at Central New Mexico Community College. She first fell in love with yoga in 2009. Her passion for the practice began to grow and in the summer of 2011, Abby completed a 200HR teacher training in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. She went on to complete her level II Barkan training the following year in Costa Rica. She enjoys many different forms of exercise but yoga is her every day wellness. "It continues to save my life. Together we are healing our own bodies and hearts through conscious breath, and movement. " Her classes will recharge and challenge you at the same time, offering a focus on opening and strengthening different regions of the body.
Anna Marie
"For me, the mat is a mirror that illuminates our areas of growth and yoga is a tool to connect to all aspects of human potential. I believe, for the advanced yogi, the practice of asana (i.e. poses) is not about flexibility, yoga fashion, or trying to progress into pretzel like moves, it is about self-discovery. Over time yoga has the potential to become emotionally therapeutic for those that practice self-awareness and emotional listening. Listening to the body and intuition is the greatest gift of our humanity". Anna is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and emotional educator (MA, PhD. Student). She has been conducting workshops around community health since 2006, and has worked with communities internationally in Mexico and El Salvador. She is a student of shamanic therapy through the Hummingbird Spiritual Center and is passionate about emotional literacy and health. She brings her years of teaching experience and wisdom to facilitate yoga. Her classes promote self-reflection, and are taught in a vinyasa style.
Ashley
I have been teaching yoga for over 15 years. I have been trained in Iyengar, Kundalini, Pre-Natal, Restorative, Bikram, and Hot Yoga practices. Currently I teach and practice at the Hot Yoga Downtown Albuquerque Yoga studio. I am thrilled to be part of such a caring and inspirational yoga community. I began my yoga practice in my teens and was trained and instructing classes by the late 90's. I have worked in various studios and health clubs during this time. On Halloween 2001 I was in a near-fatal car accident. I was left with a broken body and was in a coma for 9 days. I strongly believe that yoga helped to save my life. In the dark coma, the process of coming back, and the slow months of recovery to follow the teachings and physical training of yoga would help to aid me again and again in the healing process. The flexibility and strength that the body and mind gain through the yoga practice is immense. The practice is designed to be individual so there are modifications for almost every level of practitioner. Beyond healing from the accident, I practiced the hot yoga series throughout my pregnancy with my son and believe it was a contributing factor to a healthy pregnancy and ideal labor and birth experience. The practice of yoga is traditionally a therapeutic one. Taught from a long line of Guru's and choreographed into the best format to help us, Yoga has been designed to heal our bodies, help us quiet the mind, strengthen the connection between the two via the breath and in turn become stronger (more conscious) beings. I seek to share the teachings and methods of Yoga I have been trained in and personally practice with others so that they too can enjoy the tremendous benefits that Yoga can provide. See you on the mat!
Brian
Brian began his yoga journey at a very young age with Siddha yoga.Having a background in college athletics and being educated in the health field he brings a well rounded knowledge to his practice and teaching.He started his asana practice with Bikram yoga and then evolved to the Barkan Method. Brian's classes are infused with everything from jazz to reggae to salsa music, being a native of New Orleans he says his heart is touched by all styles of music so he wants to share his heart with his students. His first teaching experience began in Puerto Rico and his education has been influenced by Jimmy Barkan, Pradeep Teotia, Sean Corn, Johnny Kest and Rolf Gates. Brian travels to teacher trainings and workshops world wide with a never ending thirst for knowledge to share with his students. His classes will invigorate you with his yang energy and ground you with his yin philosophy. When Brian isn't teaching a creative loving flow to his students he works as a Fire fighter and spends a great deal of time traveling.
Bruce
Bruce, E-RYT, began teaching yoga in 2003 after being certified in Bikram Choudhury's intensive nine-week training in Los Angeles. He taught the Bikram method and continued to work as a landscape architect before opening Hot Yoga Downtown with Molly Krause in 2006. Bruce later completed Jimmy Barkan's Level II and Level III teacher trainings in Fort Lauderdale and Costa Rica and has assisted Jimmy with his Costa Rica trainings for several years. Bruce, known as a nurturing and compassionate teacher with a playful style, has overcome physical obstacles in his personal practice and offers empathy and experience to those students with injuries. As such, he has introduced a new class at HYDT — Gentle Warm Yoga. Bruce is now certified as a therapeutic yoga instructor for seniors, through the Duke University Integrative Medicine program in North Carolina. Taught by Duke medical school physicians, physical therapists and psychologists, he learned the latest research and techniques for teaching yoga to people facing various ailments, from heart disease, osteoporosis, arthritis, joint issues and replacements, breathing disorders, dementia, cancer and pain. Bruce knows that walking into a new yoga class isn't always easy. If it's your first time, he will spot you and go out of his way to make you feel comfortable. If you are a seasoned yogi, the beauty is in the details. Bruce teaches the subtleties and will take your practice to a new level, places you never thought you could get to before. Experiencing the tremendous healing power of yoga in his own body and spirit, it is with great joy that he shares the process with others. Bruce and his wife Anne have two daughters, and live in Cedar Crest with their cat, dogs, chickens and horse, Biscochito.
Emilie P-R
Emilie Porter-Rand, E-RYT 500, discovered yoga on a date. "What I remember most about the first class I took was the graceful Gumby-spawn practicing next to me. I was stiff as a board, but I knew I had stumbled upon my passion." Emilie approaches her life with a voracious appetite for learning and growth. A yogini with a well developed sense of humor, Emilie finds inspiration in laughter. She is an energetic and playful instructor whose classes challenge and nurture the body and spirit and encourage positive self-reflection. In 2009, Emilie received her 500 hour Yoga Teacher Certification with Sunstone Yoga. "Each posture is an opportunity to explore your truth. When someone is focused and aware, they connect to the divinity within. When I teach, I'm surrounded by the palpable energy generated by an entire room forging that connection. It's awe inspiring. It's humbling".
Fern
Fern is a yoga practitioner of over 11 years. Her practice before becoming a teacher was guided within Iyengar, Ashtanga, and Bikram communities. She received her Bikram teacher training in 2006, Barkan Level 2 Vinyasa teacher training in 2009, and Bikrams Advanced Training in 2010. Fern is also a recent graduate, attaining a doctorate in Physical Therapy through the University of New Mexico 2013. Fern is an attentive teacher whose joyful focus on precise alignment and energetic movement will assist in your development as a yoga practitioner.
James
James has completed teacher trainings with Bikram Choudhury and Bryan Kest, having extensive experience not only in the Bishnu Ghosh, and the Power Yoga lineages, but also many other forms from traditional Ashtanga to playful vinyasa flow. He brings years of enthusiasm and energy to the practice room. Challenging, fun and no judgement - classes structured to allow us to explore and grow.
Jordyn
Having been a lifelong athlete, Jordyn was first drawn to yoga simply as a new and challenging kind of physical exercise. What she did not anticipate were the remarkable psychological benefits and spiritual avenues that soon overshadowed the workout that initially caught her attention. After receiving a 200-hour teaching certification in 2011, Jordyn quit her job as a lawyer, a decision she credits her yoga experience for helping her make, and has been teaching ever since. Jordyn has continued to deepen her study of yoga, including advanced-level yoga teacher training and study at The Ayurvedic Institute. Jordyn seeks to offer students a clear understanding of alignment principles and familiarity with basic Yogic and Ayurvedic philosophy, all while encouraging awareness of inner states of being by returning her students to a focus on the breath. Her teaching style is challenging, yet gentle. She believes that pranayama (breathwork) is the most powerful tool of transformation for modern yogis and, as such, seeks to incorporate various pranayama techniques into each class. When not at the yoga studio, Jordyn can be found playing mom to her daughter and chocolate lab.
Kat
Kat Page, 200 hr RYT, began her yogic journey 12 years ago when she fell in love with hot yoga and has continued her study of yoga over the years. She is primarily interested in Hatha yoga, functional movement and how the two combine to create well-being in daily life of a person's body. She has been teaching yoga since February 2013.
Mericka
Mericka Lehman has spent a life exploring the world, finding knowledge and beauty in all of her experiences. This joy of life and adventurous spirit is passed on to everyone she meets. A life-long athlete Mericka grew up a gymnast and ran college cross country at Duquesne University in Pittsburg PA. In 2005 she was awarded her degree in Biochemistry and returned home to New Mexico to begin a career. In 2006 she began yoga to find relief from a serious back injury. Yoga provided her the relief she was looking for, and so much more that she was not. Her passion and love for yoga and the personal enrichment it provided for her inspired Mericka to change her life. In 2010 she left her job at a laboratory and completed the Barkan method training certification in Ft. Lauderdale, thus fulfilling a dream and opening a new chapter in her life. Mericka focuses on the total yoga experience, embracing individual uniqueness, she is always providing encouragement and assistance to those in her classes. In addition to her life as a yogi, she also operates a business with her family where the focus is on non-invasive whole body healing solutions.
Molly
Born and raised in Albuquerque, NM, Molly began her career in 2001 at UNMH performing nuclear studies on cancer patients and others in various disease processes. It was there that she decided she belonged on the prevention side of things, and attended Bikram Choudhury's 9 week training in 2003. Since then she has trained with Jimmy Barkan and Gurmukh Khalsa, broadening her knowledge of modern asana technique and philosophy. Molly and and her business partner, Bruce Sher, founded Hot Yoga Downtown in 2006 in the spirit of fully embracing the variance in Hot Yoga in the west. The studio is home to several teachers and thousands of students who are currently exploring the practice in all it's nuanced beauty. A driven teacher and constant student of yoga, Molly invites her students to take their practice to the next level with open hearts and inquisitive minds. When not on the mat or chasing after her little girls, she can usually be found elbow deep in some kind of dough.
Nisch
Nisch is deeply grateful to share the experience of yoga as a Barkan Method certified yoga instructor. His practice has brought him physical well-being and ease while it continues to open doors into the mysterious adventures of life. He is fascinated with body awareness, both kinesthetically and in the sense of the subtle noetic. He believes in discipline and focus, but he likes to balance this with some lightness in class as well. He strongly values the idea that yoga can be widely accessible to everyone and anyone. Nisch also designs in the arts as well as consults in technical research and development.
Tim
Like so many other yogis, I began practicing bikram's yoga for the physical workout and the therapeutic efficacy. Soon, however, the focus of my practice evolved and centered in the mind and the spirit. In the summer of 2010 I attended teacher training in Florida, studying the Barkan Method under Jimmy Barkan. My motivation was two-fold, 1) to acquire greater knowledge of the history, philosophy, and the practice of asana, and 2) to return a small portion of the gift that has so freely been given to me in my practice. Yoga has become the perfect meditative vehicle to expand and improve my relationship and conscious contact with a power greater than myself. I strive to create an environment in my classes where the individual has an opportunity to push limits, explore personal boundaries, and grow within the safety of the community energy.
