Our Instructors and Teachers

I’m Damini Celebre, Soul Advocate
I have been an artist and healer for a long time, and like you, I’ve tried different ways to be of service to myself and the world. In the many iterations of becoming, I always come back to being a guide. I am dedicated to helping others on their healing journey. The journey of being the most authentic person you could be (or) to be the highest expression that you could possibly be.

About ten years ago, during a shamanic journey, I asked my healing spirits to show me my next step. Suddenly, I saw (and felt) this big pink book on my lap. The title on the cover was Painting the Landscape of Your Soul. It was at that moment that my life took a right turn, and my healing and creative life came together.

I can tell you, I have so many letters that I can put behind my name that would fill a business card! But the truth is. That the accumulation of letters was trying to fill a hole called self-worth. I also worked with some fantastic therapists and healers. Each step of my journey, and yours, I bet, has been invaluable, but my most significant teacher was myself. When I learned to trust in my heart and intuition, I found my self-worth and inner wisdom/power. Join me and let me help you connect to your Inner Guidance again.

Jennifer Walsh RYT 200

I took my first yoga class at a YMCA over ten years ago. I remember thinking afterward that I had found something I instantly connected to and couldn’t wait to go the next week!  A few years went by before I started to get serious about my own practice. Now yoga is such a powerful part of my life.  It helps me feel grounded and centered and has enabled me to get to know my whole self better( even the messy parts).

I am extremely grateful for all of the wonderful teachers i have had on my yoga journey who continue to help shape my practice.  I completed my 200 hour teacher training specializing in Vinyasa Flow at Enso Studio in Media, PA in March of 2015.  I also have training in yoga for trauma and addiction through Transformation Yoga Project.  My teaching style reflects my belief that yoga is for everybody. I hope to provide an opportunity in my classes where everyone feels able to explore how they are feeling in their own bodies and make choices in their practice that are right for them.

At present Jenn is not teaching in Heart Space.

About Denise Yocco

I offer to this Heart Space community what I love and what loves me back. I am not educated by any university, or particular school of thought, only by what I have sought to learn and what life has offered to me in abundance to learn from. I feel deeply and passionately about self-knowing and wholeness. I feel certain we can self-heal through self-knowing, self-loving and forgiveness. I have taken The Peace Ambassador Training with James O’Dea, and heart honored to be part of the 2nd graduating class. I have taken classes in Non-Violent Communication and in Conflict Resolution, also have taken classes with Andrew Harvey, a modern-day mystic, as I have leaned more into the great ancient mystics, such as Rumi, Hafiz, Nanak, Kabir, and Sanai,, and those modern, as well. I consider Osho to my master teacher.

I have allowed myself to unravel and undo a few times. Have allowed myself to unlearn so that I can be learning in every moment. It is hard to keep learning when we feel we have learned. The space for learning and unlearning needs to be open…always.  I am human and many times have missed the mark that each of these studies has offered to me. But I stay on course and continue to evolve. I possess no special skills to heal another, only the heart that keeps offering to others a way through, as I have found, and what I know works to heal. It will always come down to the work we do to help ourselves, no matter who we learn from, no matter who lays their hands upon us, no matter our teachers or guru, religion, or degree, it will always be our decision to heal ourselves.  Our greatest service to each other is to do that work, and offer, from the heart, what we are learning through life, to be bridges, to be friends. I simply and passionately offer that. Deeply thankful and blessed to be of service.

Solnarehyah

I have had a long-time interest in health and natural healing, which led me to learn and practice Reiki, a gentle but effective hands-on treatment that promotes the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being of the client.  I love the soothing feeling a Reiki session evokes and the meditative state it induces in my clients and myself.

Natalie Strickler, 200 hr Certified RYT

Yoga for me is a journey every time I step on my mat. My practice will tell me something that I need to be paying attention too whether it be mentally, emotionally, or physically. And how to journey off my mat and take what I learned back into my day to day life.

My intentions for this class are to help bring awareness to the practice, de-mystify it‚ image as only for a certain body type, and to help bring a true joy to those who practice on their own terms. . Finding compassion and love for yourself and what you need on your yoga journey.

Slow Flow Yoga is the practice of slowing down the movements and bringing a meditative awareness to your practice. Transitioning from each asana slowly and mindfully, attaining a connection to one’s body in a deeper way.

Natalie is presently not teaching in Heart Space.

Maggie Juliano

I started practicing yoga at age 17, encouraged by my mother who thought it might settle her anxious daughter down a little. My practice waxed and waned for a little while, but after a serious back injury caused by repetitive stress from work, I found myself practicing everyday in 2001. Since then, my weight has ranged between 60 lbs; I’ve practiced with bones pressing into the hard floor, and I’ve practiced with frustration at not knowing how to move my curvier body. Through all of that I learned how to lean into breath. Now when I teach, I modify for every student, remembering my own needs at different shapes. I try in every class to make space for students to find their way to strength and stability. I mix both elements of standing balance and an easy flow-based class.  I try to not take myself too seriously; I like to mix the sacred with the profane.

About Kathleen ~ Tai Chi Chih Instructor:

Kathleen McAllister is an accredited T’ai Chi Chih teacher who is dedicated to helping students of all ages reduce stress and regain balance thru this very “user friendly ” moving meditation. She noticed as a student during the first class she attended, a strong flow of energy manifesting as heat. Because she has Raynauds disease, she was very excited to feel heat in her often cold hands. Kathleen was so inspired by the potential implication of this, that after years of practice became accredited to teach T’ai Chi Chih to others.  She has taught in elementary schools, Corporate clients, hospitals, YMCA’s, Mainline Health Center & private eight week classes.  Kathleen is excited to see what T’ai Chi Chih can do for others.

T’ai Chi Chih is a moving meditation of 19 gentle moves and one pose.  The practice of T’ai Chi Chih calms the body and the mind.  Benefits of practice may include:

* Calming the nervous system, reduced stress and fatigue

* Circulating & balancing the internal energy (Qi/Chi)

* Increasing our physical energy and mental focus

* Improving balance, flexibility, stamina

* Expanding our creativity and awareness

* Pain Relief

* JOY
