Marjut Vahtola owns and operates the studio.
Marjut took her first yoga class in 1995 after studying tai chi for many years. The class changed her path as she experienced deep relaxation and was completely hooked on yoga. She received her teacher's training certificate in 2000 from Mount Madonna in California. She has also studied with Donna Farhi who inspired her to expand her yoga beyond the mechanics of physical exercise to an enriching and complete life practice.
Marjut is currently a student of Maharishi Krishnananda Ishaya in order to further her experience of meditation and consciousness. She also has an extensive background in energy healing modalities such as healing touch, reiki, and therapeutic touch. Marjut teaches a classic blend of yoga from the teachings of Classical Yoga/Raja Yoga with Patanjali's Yoga Sutras as the foundation.

Susan Cole received yoga teacher certification in 2002 at the Lotus Centre in London, Ontario. This training emphasized individual growth and practice - adapting poses to the individual rather than an individual to the pose. Hatha yoga, the practice of poses or asana, is enriched by pranayama (breathing technique), mindful meditation, and an awareness of energy flow. Most recently, she has studied with Judith Hanson Lasater (Restorative), Todd Norian (Anusara) and Monica Voss (Esther Myers studio).
