 Tana Martin,
RYT 200
 I
am co-owner of Eight Stones Yoga studio and recognize that it is a
privilege and indeed my pleasure to serve our community in this way. I
have been studying and practicing yoga since 1993.
I’ve
studied with Suzie Hurley, Beryl Bender Birch, Barbara Benaugh and
Victor van Kooten. I studied with Moses Brown, certified Anusara
Teacher Trainer, for four and a half years and take weekly classes with
Stan Andrzejewski, the director of Greater Baltimore Yoga Center.
I have also studied with JJ Gormley-Etchells for many years and
I’m currently enrolled in her program at the 700 hour level. I hold a teacher certification from The Yoga
Center of Columbia, MD and maintain a daily personal practice. I feel that breath awareness is an integral
part of yoga practice and from that a natural sense of movement and
grace evolves.

David Horwitz, RYT 200
 I
am co-owner of Eight Stones Yoga. I began practicing Yoga in San Diego,
California in 1976. My
first teachers were trained by B.K.S. Iyengar in India.
I began to teach in 1977. I moved
to Houston Texas
in 1981 where I continued my
personal Yoga
practice. I moved to York PA
in 1991 and began teaching at Eight Stones Yoga Studio when it opened
in 1999. I hold a 300 hour Yoga Teacher certification from Sun &
Moon Yoga Studios, Arlington,
VA. And
I am currently working to complete my 700 hour certification with JJ
Gormley. I am passionate about my yoga practice and teaching, and
approach yoga as a lifetime practice. I follow Patanjali’s Eight
Limbed Path which helps me to focus on proper body alignment, breath
control and inner strength to work through barriers. I have studied
with JJ Gormley, Seane Corn, Jonny Kest, Suzie Hurley, Moses Brown,
Barbara Benaugh and Victor van Kooten. I regularly attend nationally
presented Yoga Conferences and enjoy a variety of Yoga paths. For the
future I am committed to making the Eight Stones Yoga community a
guiding light for likeminded people.

Yvonne
Cantler,
RYT
200
 Yvonne’s
background in martial arts brought her to Eight Stones in 2005 looking
for a way to increase her flexibility and add to her meditation
practice. What she found was a love of yoga and a way of living that
has brought better health and balance to
her life. Her current training has taught her to pull from all styles
of yoga to find what is most beneficial for her students.
Her passion for teaching and helping
others,
comes thru in her class as she uses the principles of proper alignment
and breathing to help bring self awareness to each individual. She has
completed her 300 hr certification with JJ Gormley Etchells and is RYT
200. http://www.vons-serenity-yoga.com/ |
