ZACH MOSES

Growing up, I was surrounded by yoga, my mother being a yoga teacher and my father and sister practitioners. I attempted a few hot yoga classes but I was always more of a karate kid so to speak.

It wasn’t until December 2010, that I decided to try my first class in six years, and before I even took the class, Rhonda approached me about becoming a hot yoga teacher. I was shocked! I kept thinking, “how can I teach others who have been practicing for years?”

To this day I still have to fight off those thoughts. But the more I practice, the more I learn that we are all teachers and we are all students. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been practicing hot yoga, it matters how dedicated, and passionate you are about your practice.  "Time" "inexperience" "not good enough to teach" - these are just barriers we put up to separate ourselves.

For me, hot 26 yoga is an incredible 90-minute meditation that centers you, spiritually and physically! Outside the yoga room, I am an aspiring musician. Listen to my band, Dirty Bird, and come to our shows in NY, NJ and Philly.

JAIME CAHALAN

It was my own health struggles that led me down this path to complete health, body and mind.
After earning a B.S. in Marketing and spending a few years in the corporate world, I decided to pursue my passion for nutrition and a healthy lifestyle.  I became Certified Health Coach and a member of the American Association of Drugless Practitioners.
As a hot yoga teacher,  I combine my passion for nutrition with exercise to serve as the greatest detox.
I am bringing my passion to Riverflow with programs like The Green Goddess Spa and the Hot & Healthy Hot Yoga & Diet Challenge.
I will also be offering personalized Diet Coaching through Riverflow Yoga.
And when I'm not making smoothies (I am the Green Goddess blogger on this website!) I am doing hot yoga and Capoeira Morro Verde, my two favorite ways to work my body!

Whether navigating the chaotic streets of New York or a whittled path in the forest, Hot Yoga has taught me to draw strength and happiness from within myself rather than circumstance.

Outside the yoga room, I am an aspiring writer, a long-distance cyclist and hiker, urban explorer, and music-lover.

A good teacher sees herself in her students, and uses that perspective to cultivate compassion, understanding, and commitment. I am dedicated to helping change lives – my own included - in the hot yoga room, and I am honored to join the Riverflow community as a Hot 26 Yoga Teacher.

In 2009, I enrolled in a 30-day Teacher Trainer Immersion course in Baja Mexico at the Yandara Institute.  Before my departure, I found Riverflow Yoga, and Rhonda found me…and the pieces fell into place.

Hot 26 Yoga cleanses, detoxifies, and helps just about every ailment plaguing humankind.  Riverflow Yoga has connected me with members of the community;I look forward to expanding my connections with all of you.

I am also a pet sitter and you can contact me at fluxahedra@gmail.com to care for your beloved pets.

 

ALISON CUTTS 

From my very first hot 26 yoga session, I knew I had found my practice.

I have struggled my entire life with food-related problems. I spent years trying to discover the root. I tested every allergy and special diet available. I saw specialists and psychologists. No matter what I did, I was in pain every day, and it seemed inescapable. Within the first few weeks of regular hot yoga practice, the pain nearly disappeared. I couldn’t get into the hot yoga room fast enough, knowing that after class I would be able to live another day eating like a normal person.I was so excited to be asked to become a teacher! I can practice the series I love, and as an added bonus I’ve found a truly incredible yoga community.

I am currently a midwife-in-training; I have a nursing background. I love "catching babies" and have attended scores of births to date. I am passionate about helping women feel empowered in the birth experience. I am also training as a Doula and teaching women about the benefits of placenta encapsulation.

DAWN LOWE

Hot yoga has given me a new body, and worked on my mind and soul like nothing else.  Arthritis in my elbow and hands is gone. Chronic pain in my shoulders and low back have disappeared. I sleep deeper and awaken with energy - and I need LESS sleep. I lost 18 pounds!  Focusing on myself and on the 26 poses for 90 minutes is my own meditation. As both a teacher and a student of hot yoga, I walk out of every hot yoga class feeling relaxed, refreshed and rejuvenated. I am very happy to be part of the Riverflow hot yoga community – see you on the mat!
