Skaya – Resident Yoga Facilitator 

Skaya is a 500 hour certified Vinyasa, Hatha and Yin Asana teacher. Her journey to a spiritual practice started in sport science and health, naturally merging her love of the human form, dance and wellness she began exploring yoga. After 6 years of teaching she decided to deepen her knowledge and journeyed to the birth place of yoga, India. 

As an established teacher she found herself developing new practices, and identifying areas within her teaching style that could be expanded on. Tying together traditional Indian practices with her extensive knowledge of western movement based flow she provides a deeply relaxing asana experience. 

Her gentle nature and attention to detail allows all levels of students the chance to confidently explore their asana, pranayama and meditation practice with ease. Her passion for alignment, a moving meditation, and pranayama developed a style of flow that leaves one feeling supported, spacious and light.

Portia – Resident Yoga Facilitator 

Originally from Los Angeles, CA, Portia’s yoga journey began in 2008, with her first meeting on the mat awakening something that had always been a part of her– a deep connection to the divine, which is something that we all share. Since becoming a teacher in 2016, it has become her mission to help people from all walks of life connect with their inner teacher, truth and wisdom.

With a practice that draws equally from each of the eight limbs, Portia encourages her students to draw upon the power of breath, meditation, mantra, and movement to form a holistic, heart-centered relationship with Yoga, and to discover union with the self.

Over the years Yoga has taken her around the world where she has taught Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin Yoga on retreats and at studios, as well as on 200 HR YTTs alongside her teacher, Tanya Popovich. Yogic philosophy and Advaita Vedanta have been a major focus in her studies and she seeks to impart these beautiful concepts to others. She is a 500 HR certified teacher through Shri Gaia Institute.
