Yoga has always been an instinctual practice for Roni. The connection of movement and breath was a natural way of stretching for her. As her practice continued and her learning of yoga grew deeper she found that yoga was not just a way to loosen muscles but that it was a way of life. The focus she found in her physical practice brought self awareness and balance into her daily life.

As a teacher Roni wishes to share the benefits of self awareness with her students. Roni incorporates discussions in her yoga classes that originate in the philosophies of yoga and how they pertain to everyday life. The students get involved in the discussions, sharing from their own lives and as each student shares their personal experiences it enhances the lives of the others in the room.

'Roni does not only talk about her philosophy, she lives it. She really tries to make Yoga affordable so that many people can take advantage of learning about this practice. But let me tell you, this is no ordinary yoga studio. (been there, done that) This is where you learn to be better in body and spirit.' - Judi Jakhelln

'Roni made sure to teach me the right way to position my hands in downward facing dog so that I would be able to practice yoga for twenty years without damaging the ligaments in my hands. It is because of her care and loving instruction that I believe that I will be practicing yoga for that long.' - Fran kriegel"

Leslie began practicing yoga in the year 2000, when she was pregnant with her first child. However, it was not until she began practicing at Inner Spirit that she learned that yoga is much more than a physical practice but a way to live life.

Leslie is a Certified Hatha Yoga instructor and is thrilled to be teaching at Inner Spirit while she continues to explore and deepen her own personal yoga practice. Her classes focus on instilling feelings of empowerment and fostering the belief that yoga can enhance each student's life. It is Leslie's goal for each of her students to feel welcome, at ease, educated and inspired. She hopes to provide the tools for her students to progress on their own personal journeys, while experiencing all that yoga has to offer.

I don't like writing in third person, so I'm just going to talk a little bit about myself. My name is Bianca and I'm so happy to have the opportunity to teach here at Inner Spirit. I've been practicing yoga for 3 years. I was introduced to yoga through my voice coach. I'm a singer and was having problems with my breathing, so he suggested I start taking yoga classes to increase my lung capacity. I began taking Bikram yoga classes, and loved it, but it just wasn't enough and I wanted to learn more! About a year later, I researched teacher training and enrolled myself into the Yoga teacher training institute of Long Island and graduated in Dec 2008 with a 200 hr certification. I was recently introduced to Acro-yoga, (www.acroyoga.org) and am inspired to bring this practice to the students and family of Inner Spirit. I encourage everyone to check it out, and if you have any questions about it, please feel free to contact me! Looking forward to sharing my practice with all of you.
