Greensburg

Audra began practicing yoga in March 2017 at age 15 as she transitioned out of classical ballet training. In yoga, she found a happy and healthy lifestyle, workout, and a fun activity to share with her mother. Audra’s desire for a deeper understanding of the practice inspired her to complete the RYT200 Teacher Training at Red Brick Yoga. She is absolutely thrilled to have the opportunity to share her practice with you! 

Sarah came to yoga six years ago in the midst of training for an Ironman triathlon, as her body was starting to feel the effects of long hours on the bike and pounding the pavement. She was instantly drawn to the way yoga brought calm to her mind and much needed relief to her body.  After years of casual practice at gyms and studios around the area, Sarah began practicing at Red Brick and was instantly drawn to the way the flow classes connected her mind and body by synching breath with movement.  She completed her RYT-200 certification with Red Brick in 2019, inspired by her own inner transformation and desire to share all that yoga has to offer with the community.  Sarah strives to teach her students that yoga has profound benefits for everyone and that it is more than just an hour of stretching - it can also bring about centeredness, healing, self-acceptance, and profound happiness.  While she certainly enjoys the physical aspects of yoga and the way in which it rejuvinates and strengthens the body, she also uses daily mindfulness practices and breath work to maintain (relative) calm in the midst of raising her two small children.  Outside of the studio, Sarah is an avid runner, road cyclist, mountain biker, and triathlete.  

After experiencing the moving meditation of connecting breath to movement, Maryanne decided to complete her RYT-200 training at Red Brick Yoga. Her classes combine creative sequencing and a dose of inspiration to send you off of your mat feeling refreshed, nourished and balanced.

She also has certifications in Aroma Acupoint Therapy and Reiki Level One. Outside of the yoga studio she loves learning about food as medicine, essential oils and traditional Chinese medicine. She looks forward to seeing you on your mat and will remind you that it is “Yoga Practice – not Yoga Perfect”.

Serafina can remember the power and strength she felt in Tadasana after her first few yogaclasses as a teen in Greensburg. It wasn't until years later that she returned to yoga and found a regular practice at Midtown Yoga in Memphis, TN. Yoga taught Serafina to cope with her sometimes debilitating anxiety, balance her daily life and find happiness through simple acceptance. After completing her RYT 200 with Healthy Body | Peaceful Soul at Inhale Pittsburgh, Serafina realized that her Dharma may have been right under her nose: offering others the tools to improve the quality of their lives through yoga.

Join Serafina for a playful but calming class, usually themed to help you find out a little more about yourself in every pose. Listen for a fun playlist and look forward to a long, centering Savasana.

Her experience with yoga began while enduring a difficult time. She was seeking a spiritual path and friends had suggested yoga and meditation. Once she stepped onto her yoga mat at The Yoga Center in Roanoke, Virginia I never looked back. It was language of the heart. She strives to share yoga in a gentle, mindful and very accessible fashion - the way she has been taught. It's what made her fall in love with yoga, and with her own life.

Yoga, for Sandra, unlocks our capacity for self study. She completed her RYT-200 training at Red Brick Yoga.

After years of working in Western and Indian movement art forms, she was inspired by teachers at Red Brick. Sandra practices a martial art from South India, where she studied under a master teacher in Kerala, India. Sandra's roots are in Pittsburgh where she has returned after 'growing up' two daughters and a husband.
