Ginger completed her 200 hr training in 2014 and her 500 hr training in 2016. Initially drawn to yoga for its physical benefits, her practice has evolved toward cultivating peace and breath awareness and noticing what makes her body feel good. Ginger enjoys sharing the practice of relaxing into postures, rather than tensing and competing.

With 4+ years of teaching experience, her goal is to provide a space for practitioners to develop a personal practice that feels good and enhances their bodies and minds.

Donna began her practice in 2013 and came to one | o | one in 2014. She completed 200 hr training at White Lotus Foundation with renowned teachers Ganga White and Tracey Rich.
Donna writes:
"Finding yoga in my mid-50s has been one of my greatest joys! Yoga, for me, means profound connection. It provides a holistic way to connect flexibility, strength, balance, concentration and mindful awareness. Yoga activates that part of us which is pure, whole and loving. Emotionally, I think of yoga as a laundering process, wringing out the negative and allowing the bright, human spirit in each of us to shine. Yoga moves us forward with gratitude, acceptance and awareness."

Scott Timmons
Gentle Yoga, Wednesdays, 9:00 - 10:15am
After 50 years and many miles on my body, I realized I needed a plan to ensure several more years and many more miles. I noticed that many older adults I knew who were in good shape practiced yoga. So, in 2013 I started to practice 2-3 x / week, quickly noticing the benefits in strength, balance and flexibility that yoga brings. In January, 2018, I headed to Katmandu Valley, Nepal for my 200 hour teacher training. Following that, I recently, enrolled to get my 500 hour training over the coming year. My goal in teaching is to enable everyone in class to participate in each pose at their own level. Starting yoga at an older age, I feel equipped to assist with guidance and modifications for those with limited flexibility, or early in their yogic journeys.
