Our Hatha Yoga Teachers
We wish to acknowledge all of those teachers who have come before us and who graciously shared their knowledge of the traditional teachings of Yoga. Each of our teachers has a unique gift and approach, linking mind, body and spirit through the practice of breathing exercises and asanas (postures). A Hatha Yoga practice involves asanas that reinforce the body's inherent wisdom, while respecting the emotional, physical, mental and energetic needs that are unique to each person. Students are encouraged to honor their limitations and to work at their own pace. Breathing techniques heighten the awareness of the body and provide tools to support moods and energy levels. While the body stretches and strengthens, physical and emotional tension is released. Each class ends with a deep relaxation, integrating a freshly energized self. At THE YOGA LOFT we are committed to share these teachings to the best of our understanding with all those who pass through our doors.

- VICTORIA NICHOLS, M.S., RYT
Victoria began practicing Hatha Yoga in 1974 and has been teaching Yoga since 1985. She has studied and taught in the USA, U.K., Europe, and with the Iyengars in India. Her interest in health and well-being began in 1969 when she connected the cause of “dis-ease” with an imbalance in the whole person. Since that time she has explored into the realms of what it is to be human and the relationship of the mind, body and spirit to restore wholeness. She has additional training in nutrition, meditation, breathing, metaphysics, non-violent communication, movement and art therapy. She has a Masters of Science degree in Recreation Therapy and has worked with many special needs populations. Victoria brings to her teaching an understanding of the philosophical teachings of Yoga and the techniques of B.K.S. Iyengar. She also enjoys traveling, cooking and gardening. She opened the YOGA LOFT in 1999.
- RADHA (Simin Rahbar)
Radha was born in Iran and has been practicing Sivananda/Integral style Hatha Yoga for 30 years and teaching for 20 years. She is also a Reiki practitioner and brings her heart, passion and healing energy to her teaching. She believes Yoga is a "journey within" a path to the very core of our being, which is ultimate truth. She gave up her career as an accountant to devote her life to teach Yoga and share the experience of peace and serenity with others.
- BOBBI BOSTON
Bobbi began practicing yoga in 1997. She knew from her first class that this was her path; to learn and to teach. She is in awe of the healing potential of yoga. Her emphasis in her own practice and teaching is a holistic approach that includes meditation, pranayama (breathing techniques) and asana (postures) as well as the daily practice of gratitude, compassion and determination. Bobbi has studied, taught and practiced yoga in Austraila, Thailand and India. Her classes are warm and safe encouraging each student to explore themselves with sensitivity and kindness. Classes are creative, challenging and playful with a focus on a balance of breath and movement in the vinyasa style. She is a dedicated student and a gifted teacher who continues her teaching education and practices daily.
- AMY-LOUISE
Amy-Louise's studies in Tibetan Bon Buddhism, Astrology, Taoism, Meditation and Mantra eventually led her to Hatha Yoga. She received certifications from the Rishi Institute, White Lotus and Sacred Energy Arts, and has studied Vinyasa Krama with Srivatsa Ramaswami. Amy creates an informal but supportive atmosphere where Eastern thought is effectively communicated to the student in order to cultivate breath, strength, grace and inner stillness.
- SONY TRIEU
Sony was trained in Vinyasa Yoga. She is a dedicated practitioner and teacher for the last decade. She teaches with a firm foundation of alignment and draws inspiration from various styles of yoga. She is especially interested in the balance of a flowing sequence, deep stretching and Restorative Yoga. Sony's intuitive ability assists students to go deeply inside to find their inner teacher, to trust in the wisdom of the, body and mind to open and flower into a state of grace and beauty. She also practices Thai Yoga Therapy, an ancient healing in the form of a massage that is said to date back to the time of the Buddha. The work is on the major Sen or energy lines stimulating the flow of healing energies within the body and opening the areas that are blocked.
May We All Continue Towards Our Highest Good
