Haleigh Featherly
Haleigh began her journey into spirit and soul in 2010 when her fear of death became so loud that she faced either medication to numb or meeting herself with an open heart. She has since been teaching and studying inner work, Yoga, biomechanics, and creative movement and is 500 RYT certified in Dynamic Hatha from Circle Yoga Shala, where she apprenticed with her teachers for three years. She has continued meeting and incarnating her soul through embodiment journeying with Karla Palomino, privately and in group containers, for 1.5 years. She firmly believes that the knowledge we receive in training becomes ours when deeply embodied through devotional practice.

Emmy Kinnally
Emmy was born and raised in The Ozark Mountains dancing and exploring. She has spent the past couple of years traveling to Central and South America immersing herself in the culture and plant realms of Peru and Costa Rica. There she learned of our ability to connect with plant consciousness and to deeply commune with spirit. Since returning to the States, she embarked on a Green Magic Apprenticeship which grew her knowledge of herbal remedies alongside plant spirit medicine. Here is where she learned the power of common plants and their ability enhance our wellbeing. She is a proponent of reciprocal relationships with the plants and hopes to share ways of relating that open the possibility for plant - human friendships to emerge.

Hailey Boswell, Manager of Be Love Yoga Studios
Hailey first started doing yoga in college for the physical benefits it offered, but it didn’t take long before she felt the change yoga was making in her heart and mind as well as the body. Yoga helped her deal with the stress of working her way through college in a positive way, and continues to do so. She discovered a new sense of love for herself and others, which she had never felt before. Yoga invites her true authentic self to shine through, and allows her to feel more confident in everything she does. Hailey received her 200-hour teacher certification from Everyone Yoga School in May 2016. She teaches a vinyasa flow style class and enjoys teaching all types of classes ranging from soft, medium, to powerful.
Hannah Bell
Hannah Bell completed her 200 hour yoga teacher training in the summer of 2018 at Mount Madonna Center in Watsonville, California. With an extensive background in the culinary arts, Hannah has a wide breadth of knowledge of what it means to serve. While her yoga classes can be challenging in many ways you can always count on a point of levity. Her teacher, Baba Hari Dass, encouraged the attitude of ‘work is play’. Her personal mantra is to be silly, honest, and kind. When taking her class you can always count on her encouragement to lean into the human experience and all of the complexities it has to offer. Yoga can be whatever you want it to be; a stretch, a breath, an hour to just turn your phone off, or something far deeper. She will meet you wherever you’re at with mindfulness and the intention to serve. She knows the real work is stepping off of her mat and carrying the practice into the rest of the world.
Ana Moon
Ana offers a unique approach to delivering messages you need to hear from your higher self and your spirit guides. Ana has been working in the spiritual realms for 30yrs and reading tarot professionally for 6yrs. Ana will be offering answers to your question with tarot and oracle cards. Or just sit down and have a conversation about your spiritual path and pick Ana's expansive knowledge about the path and walk away, knowing more and having more direction.
