BIG OM YOGA RETREAT SUMMER LEADERS
We are super excited to have an amazing line-up of talented instructors and teachers to lead the Big Om Yoga Retreat. Read below to learn more about the wonderful humans who will be leading each experience.
Hailey Boswell and Joe Picorale
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.
Joe began practicing yoga in 2010 and is a RYT 200. He was one of the original founders of the I AM Yoga Festival in the fall of 2010 and opened the first Be Love Yoga Studio in 2013. With the help of the growing #belovecommunity at Be Love Yoga Studio Joe has since expanded with a second studio in Downtown Jenks America and two franchised studios in Bristow, OK and Owasso, OK. Joe's passion is connecting people and creating the framework for a community that will change the world. Joe is the creator of the Big Om Yoga Retreat and teaches regularly at Be Love Yoga Studio Tulsa.

Misty Love, Acrolove Certified
Misty Love is a certified AcroLove Instructor and Event Coordinator in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She first encountered acro shortly after coming out of a 15 year abusive marriage. What she discovered was an activity and community that promoted healing on many different levels. Acro helped her learn how to develop trust with other human beings as they lifted her up and supported her both figuratively and literally. Along with presenting opportunities to improve communication skills, Acro also provided her with fun filled ways to become more athletic while enjoying non sexual human touch that we all need to thrive in our daily lives. She views acro as powerful healing tool and confidence booster. Misty became an instructor and continues to sharpen her skills so that she could help spread the passion, love, and joy of Acro with you.
Skye Van Camp "Skye Vision Yoga"
​Skye is a purposeful, professional yoga teacher with a passion for health, wellness, humanity and nature.
​
Nearly a decade ago she began exploring mindfulness practices, various styles of yoga, meditation, breathwork and sound healing, witnessing their transformative effects firsthand. These practices provided a space for her to navigate the depths of despair, grief, anxiety, and self-doubt, fueling her passion and commitment. She believes greatly in the process of alchemy, in the power of self-healing, repatterning, and creating supportive pathways for both inner & outer wellness.
​
For Skye, yoga transcends physical movement; it is a holistic lifestyle that brings clarity and connection with one's heart, guiding individuals towards paths that foster their well-being.
​
Skye works intimately with her clients to curate an attentive, uniquely tailored, progressive experience to learn, grow, and heal together. Her childlike nature encourages a playful approach for each of her students to become inquisitive, embrace imperfection, dissolve negative thought patterns, and enjoy the journey.
​
She is honored to create and hold a space for people to restore physically and spiritually through the practice of yoga and return to their jobs, families, and lives feeling more connected, grounded, focused, and clear.

Tyus Allen
Over the past 3 years yoga has become Tyus's biggest passion. He is truly fascinated by the depths that yoga takes the body, breath & spirit. This keeps bringing him back to the mat. It has become a huge pleasure of Tyus's to guide people through movement & show them that they are way more capable than they may have thought! He is able to bring the heat in a power flow, & also bring it back down to even below a simmer with restorative yin. He's teaching our Saturday morning sunrise flow!
Hannah Bell, RYT 200
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.

Add in the healing power of music and rhythm and breath and a great time is had by all!
