Scott Feinberg
Founder, Depth Work Coach & Teacher Training Director
I don't know where I would be on this journey without the gift of yoga. I was initially introduced to the practice in 1998 and for the first time in my life I felt at home within myself. I was and am still to this day so deeply blown away by the transformative power of this practice to meet us where we are and guide us into the places we've yet to arrive. I chose to become a yoga teacher in 2002 as a means of sharing the profound healing properties of this practice with others. Yoga has given me a place to become inward facing, to lead with curiosity and warmth, to observe my blind spots, to explore new ways to inhabit my body, my mind, and my heart.
My intention for my work as a yoga teacher and depth coach is simply to support accessing a felt sense of Self amidst the raw, messy, sacred, and beautiful journey of life.
I am an E-RYT 500 hour level teacher with over 30,000 teaching hours and have trained and mentored over 500 yoga teachers since 2009 as the Director of Kula's 200 Hour YTT and Co-Director of Kula's 300 Hour YTT. I am the Co-Founder of Kutuhala Institute of Embodiment Studies and Co-
Director of Kutuhala's Embodiment Coach Training Program. Central to my path is the notion of yoga as service, having launched yoga outreach and community service initiatives in over 100 cities across the world through my non-profit work. I have been a presenting faculty member at The Omega Institute, The Caribbean Yoga Conference, and The Omega Yoga Conference. I am the author of the book: Reverse Graffiti, The Sacred Art of Unbecoming an Amazon World Wide Top 15 New Release in both Poetry and Meditation.

I remember my first ever yoga class….it was almost 15 years ago. At a time that I was exploring my substance use and what being sober would mean/look like for me.
We were seated on our mats, waiting, impatiently. Anxious, nervous, crawling out of our skin, scared.
The teacher instructed us to “relax our eyes”.
RELAX MY WHAT!?
How in the world do I relax my eyes? Don’t they just open and close!??
And. I WAS relaxed. My eyes didn’t need relaxing. (They did, in fact, need to relax. My entire being was wound tighter than a top).
I wanted to bolt. Just like I had been doing for most of my life. Running.
So….although I didn’t know or understand most of what the teacher was saying… I stayed on my mat. For the first time in my life. I stayed.
I left that space soon after, but brought something home with me….Me.
I believed something had always been missing….needed fixing….if I could just find the thing (and I tried all the things) I would be ok.
I never found “the thing”.
What I did find was a way back….inside. Where I remembered I was always, already whole and complete.
I was learning that what had been “missing” was my own Presence. That every time I looked, reached, stepped out and away from myself, I was getting lost deeper in the woods.
My yoga mat/practice became my way home. Or maybe it was one of the guides on the path that my own heart was laying out before me. My heart atlas.
Which led me to Kula Yoga Shala where I’ve been practicing as a student ever since.
My studentship eventually shifted from taking classes to embarking on the magic carpet ride that is Kula’s Yoga Teacher Training. And so in the Spring of 2019 I graduated from my 200 hour YTT and forever changed the trajectory of my life.
Since that time I was invited to be Kula’s social media coordinator, given the great honor and privilege of being a mentor in the subsequent teacher trainings, completed The Brilliance Academy Empowerment Coach certification with Amy Lombardo, host the women’s group “Wonder for Women”, and in early 2020 stepped into the role as Studio Manager. (What a year!!!)
My process has not been linear….it has taken a while to get my bearings….like walking out of the darkness into the sunshine. And. I am so very grateful to those that have walked along side me with their flashlights (literally, their heart lights) as I made my way home.
My hope is that I may be a flashlight for you when you need it.

I fell in love with yoga while I was pregnant with my son. Through the physical asana I found a sense of connection with my most authentic Self. Ever since, I have committed to share with others how to live Yoga embodied; taking their practice off the mat and connecting with their truth.
This, for me, is the greatest gift of yoga. I am passionate about living an active lifestyle, and believe in the power of nutrition to heal the body. I am a NASM certified personal trainer, and registered with Yoga Alliance as a RYT-200 through Kula Yoga Shala. For me, the greatest gift of teaching is guiding others to their truth, and in turn, raising the vibratory field one conscious practice at a time!
Paola Cala
With a background in Art, Human Rights and Social Work, my approach to yoga is one that integrates heart, emotion, thought and action into the discovery of one’s greatness. My classes include philosophy, breathwork, chanting, meditation and movement, guiding students into the discovery of their own talents, to uncover their own power and to connect to all life with a kind, compassionate and loving heart.
My intention is to bring the essence of yoga into a simple practical way of living through the cultivation of awareness, food education and soulful practices. I specialize in teaching: Hatha Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Corporate Yoga, Kids Yoga, Meditation and Plant Based Lifestyle Coaching. I work with groups and private clients.
Dara Lorena
I have a passion for yoga and healthy living. I have been teaching yoga, registered with Yoga Alliance (200RYT), since July 2017. I teach a variety of styles including Vinyasa, Hatha, and Yin all over south Florida. With a background and education in the fields of Social Work and Nutrition, I have a deep appreciation not only the physical benefits of yoga asana, but also the mental and spiritual healing benefits of a holistic yoga practice; and strive to incorporate all of these aspects into each class I lead. I find so much joy, love, and light in my yoga practice, and hope to be a part of bringing the same to others through their practice. Outside of teaching yoga, I am a nature lover and enjoy spending my free time at the beach, on the water, doing acro-yoga, and traveling as much as possible.
Lauren Hsu
Early on in my practice, I found myself entranced by the shapes. Movement into and out of these shapes created what felt like freedom in my body. As it evolved, I began to recognize that there is more to yoga than movement and exercise.
This revelation sparked curiosity. In 2014 I immersed myself into a training that I will forever value. After dedicating over 200 hours of learning, studying, and exploring a wealth of knowledge not only found in books but within myself, I earned my certification to teach yoga.
The actuality of teaching a yoga class was not something I had planned, but fast forward almost ten years, and countless breaths later…
Within those years, I became certified in teaching yoga for children, pregnant women, and SUP yoga.
Most recently my yoga practice has been remembering to breathe. Remembering that I can breathe. My own practice has had its ebbs and flows through the years, a natural evolution.
I recognize that yoga extends beyond the time spent on the mat, and that no amount of practice will lead to perfection. But that was never the point.I offer a space of practice and healing for every student to deep dive into their personal journey and meet each and every student where they are at. Yoga is truly the journey and discovery of self, Namaste.
Marissa Huddle
I first discovered yoga, more specifically Kula, after I moved to Jupiter in 2015. Throughout my adolescent life I trained as a competitive dancer and naturally fell in love with the practice of yoga as it mirrored my warm ups with the exception of one thing; the breath. The inclusion of breath would be the element that granted me the freedom to navigate deeper into my spiritual practice and acted as the catalyst for my curiosity. Having been captivated by practice, I craved more and knew that the best way to understand something was to study it.
I decided to embark on the OMazing journey known as yoga teacher training and graduated from Kula’s Teacher Training program in June of 2016. I am also a graduate of Florida International University with my Bachelors of Arts in Psychology and thoroughly enjoy blending the teachings of yoga with the studies of the mind. I look forward to guiding you through your practice not only on your mat but off it as well.
Hannah Ford
Yoga for me is all about presence in being alive, moving in community and mental and physical fitness. A college athlete, I had to find a new way to move my body after undergoing brain surgery in 2018 - leading me to finding yoga when I lived in Bermuda. I have since lived in Sonoma, Los Angeles, and now Florida. Yoga teaching has been a thread to each of these chapters.
Yoga for me is all about creating the right energy of music and sequencing and intentionally to create FLOW and PRESENCE to simply be. To feel all the things you need to feel. To create a deeper mind-body connection. To push your body to experience something new. I hope this is what you take away too.
Thank you for entrusting me with your Sundays, I know how precious they are.
Jacquelyn Myrin
MY interest in yoga started when I was 16 years old. I didn’t know at the time what drew me to a yoga practice besides that it helped calm my anxiety. I realized that breath and movement were powerful tools then but didn’t fully understand what was happening at a deeper level until much later. Throughout my twenties, I meandered through life’s ups and downs and found myself always coming back to my yoga practice. It wasn’t until right before I turned 30 that I wanted to dive deeper into understanding the experience I was having on the yoga mat and to really be able to learn how to take yoga off the mat. I completed my Yoga Teacher Training in 2019 at Kula Yoga Shala and have furthered my education by taking a pre-natal yoga certification course, a yin training course, and Kula's 300 hour training course.
Pasha Niroo
10 years ago, I was struggling with depression, obesity, addiction, and ADHD. By some
miraculous grace of the universe, I ended up in India at an Osho Meditation Center.
I spent a year in India and traveling abroad, losing 100 pounds, and totally transforming my
outlook on life. Afterwards, I spent 7 years training and living in a meditation and therapy
institute in the Netherlands called the Humaniversity. There I received training in several
ancient and modern therapeutic and meditative techniques to support personal growth.
I am immensely grateful for the unconditional love that I have received on my journey.
Especially from the founder of the Humaniversity, Veeresh. Even though he has left his body, I
can close my eyes, feel his love and tears of gratitude just fall from my eyes. I cannot explain
these tears, but they leave me with so much gratitude and the wish to share the love that I
have received. I look forward to being in a space where we can share our hearts, quiet our
minds, grow, and ultimately become friends.
Kaela Browne
As I’ve heard from many others, I found yoga during a very hard time of my life at 18 years old. Dealing with immense grief from loss of a family member, I stumbled upon a traditional ashtanga vinyasa practice.
With devotion to the practice, I soon realized this was not only a great workout but a deeper way to align mind, body, spirit. A way to return home to my essence by aligning the mind and heart. After a few years of solely practicing traditional ashtanga vinyasa, I began to branch out to many different types of yoga like organic vinyasa, 26&2, yin, restorative, breath-work, chanting, ecstatic dance, the list goes on.
I began to appreciate the multitude of different paths of yoga for the multidimensional beings we are, all with a common thread to return home to our essence. As Johnny Kest has shared, “You stop seeing the poses as idealized linear shapes that you try to achieve, but as tools for learning and moving towards a deeper level of self-understanding and acceptance. You no longer use your body to get into a pose, but instead use the pose to get into your body.”
My goal in teaching is to create a safe environment using the asanas to develop more bodily awareness and acceptance while diving deeper into self. I offer a short themed message for you to incorporate on and off the mat before flowing through a fun, dynamic, and powerful flow syncing breath to movement.
Josh Lanphear
I am a men's coach and group facilitator who helps men wake up to who they truly are—grounded, powerful, and free.
My journey began with unpacking years of disconnection, depression, anxiety, repressed anger, shame, sexual dysfunction, imposter syndrome, and burnout. This profound exploration ignited a passion for holding space for other men to grow.
Since then, I have devoted thousands of hours to individual and couples coaching, exploring emotional expression, nervous system regulation, embodied leadership, purpose-driven living, authentic confidence, masculine/feminine dynamics, conscious coupleship, sacred intimacy, and more.
I have attended and facilitated dozens of retreats, earned two facilitator certifications, and is currently enrolled in a 3-year, 1,000-hour teacher training with John Wineland.
In 2022, I founded my first monthly men’s group in Jupiter, Florida, guiding men to slow down, open up, and connect with themselves and their loved ones.
Today, alongside my full-time career as a lawyer, I offer individual coaching, lead in-person and virtual men’s groups, and facilitate transformational retreats and workshops.
Phoebe Olsen
I started my journey in a strict religious environment, but as I grew into adulthood, I felt a calling to find my own spiritual path, ultimately leading me to become a meditation teacher.
From the age of three, most of my life was just focused on my dance career. My love for movement led me to the NFL as a professional dancer. However, it was during my darkest times that I realized dance wasn't just about performing; it was a gateway to meditation and healing.
Fast forward to early adulthood, life gave me a wake-up call in the form of a near-fatal accident. It made me reevaluate everything. I started asking, "Who am I, and what do I want to give in this lifetime?" This soul-searching journey led me to where I am today.
My mission is simple: I'm here to help others discover the love within themselves, a love that can not only heal their own heart but also contribute to a more compassionate and peaceful world.
My mission took me to the Netherlands, where I learned unique meditation methods tailored for the Western mind. These active and interpersonal meditations are the tools I'm excited to share with you.
I’m also a certified dharma coach to help individuals find deep fulfillment and explore the depths of the heart and spirit together.
I'm deeply grateful to share this work and to connect heart to heart as we navigate this journey of life together
Jane Li
My yoga journey has been my healing journey for the last ten years. Yoga made a miracle of healing in me. The power of devoted, consistent and mindful yoga practice helped to restore the health to my body, the evenness to my mind and the vitality to my soul, and the journey continues on. It has been both outer work and inner work on and off my yoga mat. Today I continue on this life long learning and healing journey with my outmost gratitude and humbleness for yoga and for our community.
It is my great honor to hold a safe space for people who come to roll their yoga mats out to practice with me, to serve as a gentle and respecting guide, to be there to assist them to feel free to explore their potentials, to create an environment where they feel loved and safe to connect within, and to witness their unique yoga journeys along the way.
Jan Hanniford Goetz (Priti Sandeep)
I followed my first passion in life into an extremely rewarding career in dance, performing in companies in New York, Italy, and Holland.
Always deeply guided by spirit, my introduction to Kundalini Yoga, in 2008, eventually led to Los Angeles and my mentor Tej Kaur Khalsa. Tej is among the first generation of Yogi Bhajan students. Appointed Custodian of the Archives of the Teaching of Yogi Bhajan, she is a recognized authority on yogic knowledge. And, for me, continues to be a beacon of light and grace.
I took my Level One Kundalini Teacher training and several level two modules with Tej, Harijiwan, and Guru Jagat at the Ra Ma Yoga Institute in Los Angeles.
I am deeply committed to sharing the powerfully transformative technology of Kundalini Yoga with reverence and love.
Amanda Medell
As a girl from Utah who doesn’t enjoy colder weather it was a welcome invitation when a friend suggested that we take a Hot Yoga class. Just one class sparked something in me and I was hooked! During that phase of my life I had been struggling with my health and moving through a lot of physical pain. Practicing yoga asana gave me tools to turn down the volume of that pain and since 2010 I’ve explored many styles of yoga. In 2024 I completed 500/hrs YTT and these days, as a Yoga teacher I enjoy playing in the spaces between and beyond the postures including soma, pranayama, guided meditation and sound to create a unique experience and safe space for my class.
I am passionate about being a student of yoga and sharing the tools that I gather along the way. This path of yoga has helped me through the hardest times of my life and has reminded me time and again that I am always already enough!
Travis Suit
As a lifelong athlete, I've cultivated a deep understanding of the mind-body connection through years of personal practice in various physical disciplines. My path into QiGong and Kriya Yoga began as a natural extension of my commitment to holistic wellness, blending physical fitness with mental clarity and spiritual balance.
In addition to my work with QiGong, I have a successful entrepreneurial background, having launched Piper's Angels Foundation, a non-profit that serves families living with cystic fibrosis. The experience of social impact and serving a chronic illness community has honed my ability to inspire and lead others; skills that I thread into my teaching.
My classes are light hearted and fun, focus on inner harmony, resilience, and the integration of ancient wisdom with modern living, making them accessible and empowering for people from all walks of life.
Deja Gamble
Before Kula, I felt lost in my body. The years of abuse I inflicted upon myself and the involuntary involvement with traumatic events had led to me to become a ghost stuck inside my own being. After years of dissociating from reality and struggling with health issues, a part of me wanted to be better. I found Kula through a coworker and decided to try it out before I could change my own mind. I originally thought of yoga as the latest fitness trend and wanted to take classes as a way to improve my body in the social light.
However, when I attended a movement mediation class, I realized there was so much more to the practice. Kula’s atmosphere felt genuine and welcoming. The teacher asked us to close our eyes and to dance for ourselves until our hearts were content. Moving my body the way I wanted to with no judgement made me feel free and alive for the first time in forever. As we all laid down on our mats afterwards, I felt the pulse from my heart reach towards my hands and all the way down to my feet.
I cried from this overwhelming sense of love and connection. Since then I continued to show up on my mat, and soon enough, I was able to become a person inside my own body once more. I understand the struggle of dissociation from one’s Self and I wish to help those who want to reconnect with their inner spirit and body once again.
Tara Beaulieu
My name is Tara Beaulieu, and I am a certified 200-hour RYT specializing in gentle, slow-style yoga and meditation. I love using props for support and offering a wide range of variations to accommodate all bodies. Yoga holds a special place in my heart. In a world full of uncertainty, yoga consistently provides exactly what I need.
Every time I step onto my mat—whether as a teacher or a student—I feel a deep sense of "I am here, I can exhale now. Everything will come together somehow, just breathe."
It is truly an honor to share this gift of connecting breath to mind, to inner wisdom. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to pass it on.
April Burgin
I was a professional dancer with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in New York City. During that time, I had an injury that disabled me from dancing, but through the hands of the in-house massage therapist, acupuncturist, and yoga instructor, I was back up and dancing within the month. From that experience, I realized how powerful energy is and decided that helping others heal was the path for me.
I graduated from Educating Hands in 2000 and am now a Certified TCM Doctor, Acupuncturist, and Registered Yoga Instructor.
Through my practice of Eastern Medicine, I have experienced and become aware of how powerful chakras are. Through a Mindful Flow, my practice seeks to align your chakras and balance your yin and yang energies.
Dylan Chase
I’m Dylan, a new yoga teacher as of 2025. I am excited to share this transformative practice with you. My yoga journey began in 2019 when I took my first yoga class with the goal to enhance flexibility and relaxation. That first class humbled me with its challenge but left me amazed by its calming power—rhythmic movements and mindful breathing that soothed my nervous system and energized me for work.
Hooked ever since, I deepened my practice at Kula Yoga Shala, eventually completing teacher training to explore yoga’s ancient wisdom alongside an inspiring community.
Now, I’m thrilled to guide others toward balance, strength, and peace on the mat.
Sarah Steele
I first started practicing yoga in 2004 simply to get fit. I quickly realized something else occurred while on my mat: my anxious mind slowed down, and I discovered a deep sense of peace and contentment. I often wondered why…deep down I knew there was something happening beyond the movement and exercise. In 2024, I enrolled in teacher training at Kula to deepen my practice and find out. I never expected I would tap into a source within me that would open my heart to sharing this experience with others.
As a yin yoga teacher, I strive to create a space where students can fully experience themselves while truly embodying the essence of yoga. Together, we explore the depths of who we are through meditation, mindful movement, and our breath. Each practice is one of kindness and gratitude for the body and soul. Understanding that every person is on a unique path, my intention is to offer guidance by meeting each individual exactly where they are, without judgment or expectation.
Krista Brandenstein
I received my trauma-informed 200 hr + 300 hr RYT certification at Kula Yoga Shala in Jupiter (2022/2024 respectively) as well as my certification in Embodiment Studies + Transformational Coaching as a graduate of The Kutuhala Institute of Embodiment Studies. I am passionate about walking alongside others on their journey to heal, to return home to themselves, and to reconnect to their natural state of peace, calm + balance.
It is through yoga, breathwork, plant medicine ceremony + somatic healing that I have been able to heal, reclaim forgotten aspects of myself & move through some of the most tumultuous times in my own life — meeting myself again + again on my mat and in ceremony from a place of curiosity, compassion, grace + wholeness. I believe that when we lean into the spaces of heart-centered openness within a safe community and in relationship with another, we can begin to cultivate and heal the deeper relationship we hold with ourselves.
My group offerings can be found in the spaces of crystal sound bowls, teaching gentle yoga, yin yoga, meditation, vocal toning + activation, and dharma teachings. I am deeply honored and grateful I get to be apart of your journey, to be a tether + a witness to you and all of your parts — in all of your movement, in your stillness, through your vocal sound + inner work integration within the sanctuary and safety of a trauma-informed container. I am beyond excited to embark on this journey as a transformational and spiritual embodiment coach at Kula Yoga Shala, to be apart of this healing community, and to get to walk alongside you in your most sacred and profound work.
Cassidy Wagner
My yoga journey began at a young age by practicing and experimenting in my backyard. Little did I know that yoga would open my eyes to the mind body connection that sometimes seems to be lost in our fast paced society. Yoga became such a powerful modality, outlet, and way of being in my life. After years of going to classes and pacticing on my own, I decided to complete my teacher training at Kula Yoga Shala.
As much as I am a yoga teacher, I am also a forever student that is inspired to take my knowledge for this sacred practice further and share that with others. Yoga is a gift that sparked the fire of transformation within me, and that is what I want to share with others, and help them remember too. While yoga is a physical practice, it is also a place for self-discovery and offers the ability to re-learn the felt experience and gift of what it means to BE human. I hope to be a vessel that can aid my students up the path to becoming their most authentic, aligned, and best selves.
Ali Coulas
For me, teaching and practicing yoga is a vehicle of self-expression in its most divine essence. Even more so, it has awakened an energetic force of inner power & potential, yogis know as prana, that has been so life-giving. Each time I show up to my mat, I deepen this connection with my soul's truth & like a compass, it guides me through life's journey.
As a birth-worker, I have gratefully been witness to over a thousand beings birthed into this Earthly realm. I recognized the same magic (prana) awaken within women during childbirth -time & time again, and now, with clarity, see it as a conduit for spiritual transformation & transcendence.
My prenatal yoga class is a devotion to honoring childbirth as a sacred rite of passage, as well as, an offering to women as they journey into motherhood. My intention is to be a guiding light on the path to awakening. My wish is that all the moms, the moms that were, are, & will be, not only be free from suffering, but be spiritually transformed within the divine feminine matrix of creation.
I guide my students to drop into their own present experience through meditation, conscious breathing & movement, sprinkled with embodiment practices that integrate the mind, body, & spirit.
I'm here to remind you that you are safe, supported, & more powerful than you could ever imagine. You are pure magic, mama!
