Our Teachers

---

Kevin has been practicing Kundalini yoga for over ten years. His first yoga teacher training was in 2016 under Brynn Byrne (Elemental Yoga), Shanti Nolan (Keller Yoga), and Dr. Kari Rollins. In 2017 he was trained and initiated into Kriya Yoga by Sri Rangin Mukherjee. In 2018 he completed training with the Kundalini Research Institute under GuruMeher Khalsa, Gurutej Kaur, Simran Khalsa, and Santokh Khalsa. In 2017 he partnered with Dr. Kari Rollins and started Raja Yoga. Mentoring under Dr. Rollins for over five years taught Kevin how to use yoga in practical and prescriptive ways to help address common physical and mental health issues. Kevin’s practice and personal transformation fuel his passion for teaching others.

“Most of us sense that there is more to life than what we are experiencing. Yoga philosophy teaches us that the foundation of our being lies beyond our mind and body. The implications of this profound truth are life-changing and must be experienced to be known. We are already what we are trying to become. The practices of yoga are designed to remove the obstacles that are preventing us from experiencing what we are. When the obstacles are removed, the rest happens on its own. I teach Kundalini yoga because it’s a safe and effective way to remove those obstacles”.

Tiffany's yoga journey began with the goal of improving anxiety and depression. It quickly became the foundation of her well-being. With each asana, she found peace and untangled her thoughts. Her breath became a soothing melody, calming the storms within. Getting her YTT certification under Shanti Nolan and Tripura Leighberman unearthed a spiritual connection she never knew existed. Her mat became a sacred space where she discovered connection, clarity, and purpose. Physically, she experienced weight loss, reduced blood pressure, and increased flexibility, strength, and vitality. Now, Tiffany passionately shares her life-changing odyssey by teaching traditional Hatha and Yin Yoga to beginners and intermediate students. Her classes provide a comfortable and inspiring space for others to evolve.

Misty Green has taught yoga since 2010, both privately as well as in group classes: from yoga studios, rehabilitation facilities, and schools to corporate offices+. 

She says, “Yoga is a profound presence and a playful curiosity. It is a non-hierarchical, infinite exploration of ourselves and all we relate to. Yoga is a moving, flowing, endlessly morphing observation. Yoga is breath, life, death, and rebirth over and again. Yoga is returning home to the self".

Linda Mack fell in love with yoga and its benefits over 20 years ago.  Obtaining a 200 hr teacher certificate at the Himalayan Institute in Palatine IL allowed her to share her passion with others; both in her personal and professional life as a nurse.  Every class she teaches will focus on breath work, as it is our life force. Any level student will feel welcome, learning to connect breath, movement, to the mind and spirit. 

Courtney’s Yoga Journey began over 10 years ago in Los Angeles when she stepped into a Hot Yoga Studio.  What started in a quest to find a great workout, she quickly discovered Yoga had so much more to offer.  She found that yoga is the ultimate practice.  From stimulating our inner light and quieting the mind, it is both rest and energy. Courtney has practiced many different limbs of yoga from Hot Yoga to Hatha to Kundalini.  She recently came back to Hatha Yoga and Meditation.  Working towards her 200hr Certification with Shanti Nolen of Keller Yoga and learning the teachings of the Himalayan Institute has once more transformed her into a completely different kind of student, a teacher.  She looks forward to being able to share her knowledge and how yoga has transformed her own life in ways she never thought possible.  

“True yoga is not about the shape of your body, but the shape of your life. Yoga is not to be performed; yoga is to be lived. Yoga doesn’t care about what you have been; yoga cares about the person you are becoming. Yoga is designed for a vast and profound purpose, and for it to be truly called yoga, its essence must be embodied.” — Aadil Palkhivala
