 Eiric Øvrid
Eiric has been teaching yoga in Seattle since 1998 and has
since become a well-loved teacher students seek out and follow
wherever he holds classes. A bicycle crash in '95 brought
him to the path of yoga and it immediately became his life's
passion and direction. His classes creatively explore asana
and pranayama while delving in to the esoterics of yoga- the
philosophies and sutras. He has a fluid style, creates a safe
and engaging space, and inspires students to discover their
peace and inner teacher, offering students layers of levels
they can explore. Eiric's been inspired by many great teachers
including Kathleen Hunt, Anna Forest, Richard Schactel, and
Jivamukti's David Life and Sharon Gannon.
 Julie
Andres
My love for the science of yoga began in lifetimes past. I
have found a purpose in this western world, and that is to
help people who struggle with addictions through the use of
breath and movement. I am passionate about this need for nurturing
as I have had many internal struggles in my past with addiction.
It is a reality in so many of our lives, how do we recover?
How do we act without reacting? My intention is to teach others
how to sit quietly and listen, to be compassionate to themselves
and others. Healing the mind and body is a life changing journey.
As a teacher I open my heart as taught by my mentors, Eiric
Ovrid, Kathleen Hunt, Dee Hein, Alice Waters, and my Dad,
Henry. Thank you god for bringing me here, for the four seasons,
for this gift of light. Namaste.
 Julie Dillon
Julie's earliest memory of doing yoga was as a young gymnast where she believed she "invented" Karnapidasana, or Knee to Ear Pose. An avid athlete with a vivid imagination and seeker of something "more" beyond the tedium of gym aerobics in the early 90's, Julie was hooked on yoga from the first empowering Warrior 2 pose and blissful heart-opening guided chakra meditation during Savasana. The potency of the healing path of yoga revealed itself to her while working in the stressful environment of the high tech world. At Onhealth.com, Julie produced an online slideshow called "Yoga at Your Desk" with teacher, Theresa Elliott. Soon afterward she became a dedicated practitioner sharing her love of yoga through teaching and other yoga-based healing modalities. With15 years experience, Julie is certified in Samadhi Yoga, Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, The Old Medicine Hospital School of Thai Massage and, most recently, Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga through Seattle Holistic Center. Teachers of influence include Kathleen Hunt, Anne Phyfe Palmer, Annette Romano, Eiric Ovrid, Douglas Ridings, Colette Crawford, Karen Hasskaral, Bianca Raffety and many others. Her experience teaching beginning students at Seattle University, ESL Yoga for new immigrants and refugees at St James - a program she developed with fellow Samadhi yogini, Marcie Spahi, onsite Yoga-at-Work, "Rowga", or Yoga for Rowers with the athletes from the Mt. Baker Rowing and Sailing Center, and privately with students and clients of all backgrounds and abilities, has affirmed her belief that "If you can breathe, you can do yoga!" Gymnastics and dance infuse her yoga with fluid, awakening movement. Julie has built her dream backyard garden yoga studio in SE Seattle where she sees clients privately. She is delighted to offer Rest and Renew classes at YoBe.
 Jenn Strano
The healing properties of yoga drew Jenn into the practice, almost a decade ago. Coming from a dance background, she was recommended yoga for back problems. As her practice began to positively effect all aspects of her life, she knew that this would be a piece of her forever. Fortunate to study primarily under amazing teachers Tami Hafzalla and Kathleen Hunt, Jenn organically found herself in a community that fosters students and teachers alike. After doing her first Teacher Training program with Kathleen and Tami in 2008, Jenn began teaching. Jenn enjoys a holistic approach to yoga, working with all of the eight limbs of Hatha yoga. Her classes are traditional with rich a influence from traditional and modern scripture and texts. She prides her classes on unique sequencing and nurturing her students. Her goal is to create a space where her students can let go of the past and make room for the present and future. Jenn continues to deepen both her awareness and her own practice, through intensives, workshops, and classes. She is always expanding her knowledge and finding ways to share this with others.
