Years later, I would complete the “Power of Awareness” mindful meditation course taught by Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield, receiving a certificate from the University of California, Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center and the Awareness Training Institute. Yoga encouraged me to build a connection with myself and look inward. I would eventually complete a 200 hour yoga teacher training program (200 RYT), as well as the Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher (RPYT) certification. I am blessed to be a part of an extraordinary community at Guruv, as well as share the journey of yoga and provide a deeper, more accessible way of practicing yoga for all students in mind.

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. I am so grateful and blessed to have had incredible teachers appear in my path when I was ready to receive them. Having been involved in a lifetime of fitness, beginning with ballet and gymnastics moving on to aerobics and weight training, I was reluctantly pushed in to an Ashtanga yoga class. My preconceptions of yawning and soft stretches were immediately put to rest. I was hooked on the physical aspect of yoga. It wasn’t until years later due to life happening… and a shoulder injury that I began looking deeper into the mind body connection. Finally deciding to simplify my life and pursue my passion I immersed myself in my training. Finding peace, joy and bliss in my practice on and off the mat. It is one of my greatest pleasures sharing the gift of yoga and what I learn in the process is priceless.Peace and Love, BelindaFaith means living with uncertainty – feeling your way through life, letting your heart guide you like a lantern in the dark.

“Do everything with a mind that has let go” -John Chan
I stepped into my first yoga class back in 2014, I was searching for peace of mind and a way to manage stress and anxiety. What I learned in that first class was how to let go. I was able to breath a little easier, tune out everthing that didn’t matter on the mat and dive into a world of just being present. From that first class I was hooked. I became intrigued by yoga and wanted to learn everything that I could about this ancient practice and deepen my personal practice. I found a 200hr YTT Yin and Vinyasa teacher training program at Guruv in 2019 and quickly knew this was the path I was supposed to take. While in the YTT training, I wanted to broaden my knowledge on other types of yoga and participated in a Prenatal Immersion Course at Guruv Yoga and learned just how incredible the human body can be. Over the years, I have discovered how much peace, joy, community, love and compassion there is in yoga and through the YTT program, I became eager to share this passion of yoga with others. Kiah has completed her 200hr RYT through Guruv Yoga.

After living a very inactive existence, Tracie started running in 2005 and tried yoga to help stretch and build strength. She loved how yoga complemented running, as well as provided a mental escape from the daily grind; however, she still let a demanding career control her schedule so everything else came a distant second. In 2009, Tracie participated in a 21-day yoga challenge during one of the busiest months of the year for her job. Somehow, she completed the challenge and realized she could and needed to make yoga a priority in her life. Since then, Tracie has enjoyed exploring and practicing different styles of yoga and their respective benefits, as well as being part of an amazing yoga community. For years, she wanted to take teacher training to gain a better and more complete understanding of yoga, as well as deepen her physical practice. When the stars aligned and Tracie completed her 200-hour Yoga Alliance certification at Guruv, she was pleasantly surprised to learn she loved teaching yoga and did not want the journey to end. Tracie is a long-distance runner and hiker who returns to her mat to recharge physically and mentally. She also attended a 10-day Vipassana Meditation course in Thailand. She looks forward to continuing and sharing her journey with you.

Emma Koi
My first exposure to yoga was in an Iyengar Yoga course as an undergraduate dance and music major at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in the early 2000’s. What started as a required course for my degree turned into a refuge in my daily life. Since then, the practice of yoga has
been a constant friend to me, a place to turn whenever my body needs movement or when my mind needs quieting. In 2010, I received my 200-hour teacher certification from Kanyakumari Center for Yoga and Ayurveda in Glendale, Wisconsin, and I have been teaching yoga ever since alongside my career as a classical flutist. My hope as a teacher is to send students away with tools that they can take with them wherever they go, to move, stretch, calm, breathe, strengthen, or just check in at any given moment. As a lifelong student of yoga and movement, I honor my own teachers: Meg Lucks, Sarah Filzen, Cheryl Silberman, Janet Lilly, Simone Ferro, Elizabeth Johnson, Luc Vanier, Ferne Bronson and Ed Burgess.
Emma Koi is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance, which acknowledges the completion of yoga teacher trainings with approved and active Registered Yoga Schools (RYS). She completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher certification at Kanyakumari Center for Yoga and Ayurveda in Glendale, Wisconsin and most recently completed an Advanced Yoga Teacher apprenticeship with Meg Lucks at Heart Revival Center for Yoga. Emma holds bachelors degrees in dance and music from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and a Master of Music from Carnegie Mellon University. In addition to teaching yoga, she performs as an orchestral flute player in the Orlando area. She lives in Lake Mary, Florida with her husband and two children.
