Our Team

 

Ania Lesniak

Ania was born in small mountain village in Poland, where nature has taught her a way to live in peace and in tune with its cycles. Traveling throughout India and Brazil later introduced her to the spiritual way.
The Ganges and the Himalayas, mountains and the forests, shamans and the elders are the parents of her philosophy. Hatha Yoga and Ashtanga bring discipline and understanding to the alignment and the mechanical movement to the physical body. Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine and the Medicine of the Land in Poland are the schools of taught. Capoeira, a Brazilian Martial art, showed her how to be a warrior and how to grow strength not only in the muscle and bone but the one of the mind.
She brings it all into her teachings as a healer and mentor. Movement, meditation in motion, Yoga therapy, prenatal, postnatal practice, pranayama, Reiki, the elements, sound healing and rituals that heal the boy, mind and soul. Ania provides you an opportunity to become the witness, to dive deep, and sit in the questions, so you can heal.

Liza Leondard

Liza is walking the path of yoga with her whole heart. She is not a perfect practitioner (no one is), but she is deeply called to constantly learn more, going to the source of truth, testing everything for herself, and creating beautiful experiences for herself and others. Liza found yoga over 10 years ago, and has since studied with world-class teachers like Saraswati Jois (daughter of Patabi Jois,) Rose Erin Voughan, and other hidden gems in India. But beyond all that, she believes that we all have to be our own teachers, and ultimately, life itself is our best teacher! Join Liza for classes that bring you to your true self, through breathing, moving, focusing, concentration, fun energy, and also stillness. She also loves to share sound healing, cupping, and kirtan.

Charlotte Allen

Charlotte Allen is a teacher at heart, a forever student of the natural world, a writer, and an avid explorer of her own embodiment. She has been teaching yoga since 2016, and knows from personal experience the healing power of embodiment practices like yoga. 
Her teaching is a strong alignment-focused practice that uses pranayama as the glue between the inner and outer experience. She teaches a deep, yet approachable class that strives to close the distance between therapeutic physically and healing spiritually. She incorporates vinyasa, restorative, and pranayama practices into each class.
Over the past six years, she has spent her time exploring coast to coast, learning many different lineages of yoga, various healing modalities, holding women’s circles, and ultimately getting more in touch with her own connection to Mother Earth. As a CT Native, she has returned to her roots and now lives in Woodbridge, CT with her husband, Roger. In her time off the mat, she teaches high school students about life, growing into who they are, and sharing their voices with the world, also known as English class. 

Alyssa Romano

Alyssa has been teaching yoga for over a decade and was formally trained at Saraswati’s Yoga Joint in Norwalk, CT. 
Alyssa finds that the center of her yoga practice is about building a deeper connection to oneself. She believes that yoga brings up what you are hiding and also turns you to look in the eyes of all the beauty you hold.  The movement of yoga helps you to stay strong in the looking. Allows you to hold the space to see deeper. 
She is very much inspired by poetry, namely Mary Oliver, nature and her closest personal relationships, particularly her son and fiance.
Her classes focus mostly on connecting to one’s own heart, using a mix of poetry, music, and alignment rich instruction. She balances the ethereal power of the heart with the earthly grounding of the body. Her main focus overall is to allow you to explore and find what feels good in your body. You will leave her class softer, stronger, a hint sweatier, and a little more grateful to be alive.    

Sarah Linsky completed her 200-hour YTT with Lotus Gardens Yoga in 2018. Her classes focus on exploring the body, breath, and movement through an intuitive and playful flow, creating a space where yoga is accessible to all. She encourages students to connect with their bodies by honoring and embracing the natural ebb and flow of their own organic movements throughout class.

Captivated by how yoga cultivates self-reflection, Sarah believes in its power to guide individuals toward peace, positivity, and happiness, ultimately enriching and deepening their experience of life. To her, yoga is a lifelong journey -- one filled with endless opportunities for growth, learning, and self-discovery. She hopes to empower and inspire you on the mat!

Rosalee is a sound facilitator and artist from the Hudson Valley.  She fuses her passion for music with compassion, connection, and healing intention by using her voice, Crystal Tones Singing Bowls, and other instruments to create a soothing soundscape. Her sound baths are intended to promote deep relaxation, stress reduction + mood elevation, while allowing space for healing and transformation.

Rosalee received her Sound Healing Training from the School of Resonance in Nosara, Costa Rica. She has been writing, singing, and recording her own music for the past 4 years and recently started incorporating these healing frequencies into her music to fully allow the process of feeling, expression and transmutation. These sound healing frequencies have the power to heal and create harmony on a cellular level and she is deeply honored to share these frequencies with the community. 

Sara’s yoga practice started after 18 years of classical ballet. After suffering an ankle injury, she was introduced to yoga and instantly fell in love with the practice. Sara found she could combine movement, breathing, and solitude that she had found with dance to this beautiful asana practice.

After 10+ years of self practice with differing yoga classes, in 2022 she became a 200 HR certified yoga instructor. She is proud to share this practice with anyone willing to find calm, flowing movement and expand their minds.

When Sara isn’t practicing, she enjoys baking, crocheting, reading, crafting and doing anything outside including gardening, hiking with her dog Shea, and reconnecting with nature. She has a passion for making herbal remedies and tinctures.

Natasha Marie is a mama, registered nurse, womb and pelvic keeper and sound alchemist. With a lifelong devotion to the power of music, she brings a unique magic to every sound journey. Natasha's offerings immerse participants in celestial sounds and healing frequencies that gently recalibrate the nervous system and promote profound relaxation and harmony. Through a blend of multi-instrumental healing, she creates a sacred space where body, mind, and spirit unite in deep restoration. Each session is an invitation to reconnect with your own inner rhythm and embrace the transformative energy of divine sounds.

Yoga has been one of Elizabeth's guiding lights since she was 16. In 2019, she deepened her practice through certified Yoga Teacher Training (RYT 200) and is set to complete her additional training for her RYT 500 certification in April 2025. Elizabeth is also a certified Reiki Master Level III Practitioner, Meditation Guide, and Sound Healing Practitioner, weaving these healing techniques throughout her teachings to create a holistic and transformative experience.

Over the years, she has had the honor of guiding students in a variety of yoga styles, from the gentle stillness of yin and restorative to the dynamic flow of vinyasa. Her classes emphasize the importance of balance—both on and off the mat—by embracing the interplay of yin and yang, effort and ease, movement and stillness. Through this approach, she encourages students to cultivate harmony within themselves, recognizing that true well-being comes from integrating both strength and surrender.

When we find balance within, we align with the natural rhythms of the earth—the ebb and flow of the tides, the cycles of the moon, the changing of the seasons. In this alignment, we step into a dance with nature, becoming co-creators of our own reality. From this space of harmony, we can manifest a life rich in health, abundance, creativity, love, and wisdom. We open ourselves to receiving all that is meaningful to us, living in flow with the infinite intelligence that surrounds and resides within us.

Time and time again, Elizabeth is reminded of the profound healing power that resides within each of us, and she is honored to help others awaken to their own inner light.
