Reiki Master Teacher, Universal Life Church Minister,
Certified Silver Sneakers Yoga Instructor, Sound Bath Practioner
"I was first introduced to Yoga through an employee wellness program while in my mid 50's. The first few weeks I didn't know what I had gotten myself into but finally at week 3 something clicked; there was a huge shift and suddenly I was highly intrigued by all things Yoga. A few months later I was registered to become a certified instructor myself! While earning my 200 hours at a local community college on Long Island (during the pandemic!), I felt myself transforming and being drawn to courses to enhance my skills. Following that certification I went on to achieve certification for Trauma Informed Youth Yoga, Chair Yoga, Yoga Nidra, as well as my 300 Hour Certification through Yoga Farm Ithaca which integrated Kundalini, Ayurveda, Enneagram and Moon Cycles. I am currently continuing my Ayurvedic education in order to help individuals live longer, happier and healthier lives."

Micaela
My yoga journey began in 2018, it was always something I had been interested in, to engage and experience the mind-body connection. Yoga, having a wide range of benefits and an interconnectedness to life, won my heart through this deep connection to my inner world in a South Florida college gym. Throughout numerous ups and downs in life, my yoga practice has always been a means of support. Through yoga/life, we get to witness ourselves grow and change in a wholesome, loving way. Whether you are looking for mindfulness, strength, relaxation, flexibility, spirituality, or a space to practice all of those and more, yoga is an outlet for us to do so, and I am honored to be able to share that space with others. I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2023 to deepen my understanding of the practice and philosophy of yoga. I am a Psychology student at UCF, a Licensed Massage Therapist, a Reiki 1 practitioner, and forever a student of life who believes we are all incredible self-healing individuals who can create a beautiful collective in nature within and around us.

Deva
Hi there! My name is Deva Gambus, and I am a Venezuelan yoga teacher and wellness enthusiast. I discovered yoga when I was struggling with a difficult time in my life and was immediately drawn to its ability to calm my mind, strengthen my body, and connect me to my inner self. I have since devoted my life to studying and practicing yoga, and I am passionate about sharing its transformative power with others.With over 8 years of experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a playful, supportive energy to my classes. I believe that yoga is for everyone, and I strive to create a safe and inclusive space for my students to explore their practice. I integrate elements of mindfulness, pranayama (breathing techniques), and meditation into my classes to help students cultivate a deep connection with their bodies and minds.Outside of my yoga practice, I love to spend time in nature and learn languages. I hold a 200 hours certification in Hatha Yoga and I am always seeking opportunities to continue my education and growth as a teacher.I am grateful to have the opportunity to share my love of yoga with others, and I look forward to meeting you on the mat soon!

Juliana
Juliana, a certified yoga teacher, knows yoga can save your life because it saved hers. When Juliana was a teenager, she battled with anxiety, depression, and grief following the loss of her stepfather. This profound loss left Juliana feeling like she needed to “fix herself” and searching for dopamine in blonder hair or a skinnier waist. Then, Juliana found yoga, meditation, reiki, and spirituality. It changed everything. Instead of searching for the next emotional high from a pair of designer jeans, Juliana dove head first into a decade of self-healing. She spent four months living in an ashram in Vrindavan, India, where she found her passion in the Bhagavad Gita, the yoga of love and devotion, and other modalities that helped her land back in her body naturally, and heal herself from the inside out Juliana is a healer, because she has been through the dark, and brought back her own light. Now she teaches other yogis to do the same. Her yoga classes are a mixed of creative flows that always surprise you paired with inspiration words. You leave her class feeling present, expanded, and inspired. When Juliana isn’t teaching yoga, you can find her roller skating, doing acro-yoga with her husband, cooking vegan gluten-free food, or watching Bones.

(aka Shining Angel)
I was born and raised in the U.K. where I graduated from Plymouth University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Geographical Sciences. This study of Mother Earth's features, rocks, and plants has been my passion ever since; fueling my teachings and travels. I was drawn to Hatha (sun moon) yoga at 23 years old and have practiced ever since. Soon after moving to the USA in 1998 for a work opportunity I took my first yoga teacher training course with the eminent Shakta Kaur Khalsa in Northern Virginia. I have provided affordable outdoor yoga to the community in Osceola County for many years now and also instruct at CF Fitness here in Saint Cloud, Florida.
As well as being my own personal lifestyle, yoga is also the "backbone" of my Shining Angel Healing Ministry where I focus on energy medicine, meditation for health and wellness, and metaphysical healing. I am an Ordained Minister, Certified Spiritual Healer, Reiki Master Teacher (7th in lineage from Dr. Usui), Certified Life Coach, and Psychic Medium Spiritual Advisor.
I can't wait to serve you in some way at the beautiful Blue Lotus Yoga & Wellness studios very soon.

Yoga Nidra Guide
“I began taking yoga at a gym in Hunters Creek back in 2004. I fell in love with the way it made me feel! I continued the classes while living life and making a home for my two children and husband. Then in 2015-2016 I wanted to learn more about the spiritual path behind yoga and enrolled in my yoga teacher certification at New World Wellness in Kissimmee. Once I completed my 200hr, I continued on to get my children’s yoga certification. I infused these teachings into my job as a teacher as well as running yoga events in Saint Cloud from 2016-2019. I am looking forward to sharing space with all of you and continuing to learn in this life’s journey.”
