With a desire to deepen her practice, she joined Megan for a year-long apprenticeship, beginning in 2021, and is excited to share her love of the practice with new students and seasoned practitioners. Alicia teaches Ashtanga alongside Megan, and she offers Teen Yoga Camps in the summers.
Gabi Szabo-Carney
Yoga Teacher
Physical activity has always been a part of Gabi’s life but when she came to yoga, she noticed that there was much more to the practice than just the movement and toning of the body.Yoga has helped her handle the general aches and pains of daily life, navigate the stresses of motherhood, working and has helped keep Gabi grounded when the swirl of it all creates instability. Gabi’s teaching is rooted in connecting the breath to movements and letting go of tensions, she has practiced yoga since 2005 and has been teaching classes since 2012.
Tammy Bray

Reiki Master
Exploring is a central theme to my life. It fills my tapestry with many beautiful colors and it is part of my balance in life. For me, whether my interest bubbles up from the inside or something on the “outside” is intriguing, it’s all one and the same as it speaks from my Soul. I feel the nudge, “go ahead, see what it’s about”.
Through my explorations, threads are provided that weave my experiences through my life. My tapestry includes lover of nature, dancer, drummer, gardener, sojourner, yoga student/teacher, spiritual companion, therapist/counselor, traveler, Reiki master, healer, bringer of Laughter and light-heartedness, soul artist, cultural explorer, Qigong teacher/practitioner and so much more.
