Lauren Bell

Lauren Bell

Yoga Teacher - Retreat Chef

View Lauren's Bio

Lauren is an environmental educator and a permaculture farmer. She deeply values connection and care of the earth, something she takes into her yoga practice and teachings. She spends her time teaching people how to tend the earth and curiously exploring the natural world around her. She believes that when we connect on a deeper level with nature, we connect on a deeper level to our higher selves, and vice versa. Yoga is a beautiful way of traveling a path of boundary-less connection with the world around us. This connection can create ripple effects of compassion around the world.
Lauren has always loved the intensity of sports and fitness, but found yoga while earning a  Bachelor’s Degree in Geography and Sustainability at George Washington University. Yoga opened up a whole new world of healing, body movement and spirituality for her.  In her practice, she finds joy in pushing herself out of her comfort zone to grow in body and mind, while also finding peace and clarity.
After a couple years of living on Maui, Lauren decided it was time to further her study of yoga and teaching. She earned her 200 hour YTT with Jennifer Lynn and feels blessed to share Wisdom Flow Yoga. Lauren loves empowering others to love themselves, enjoy an active lifestyle and live in harmony with nature.

Tara Castleberry

Tara Castleberry

Yin Yoga Teacher

View Tara's Bio
 
 
 
In 2014, Tara decided to immerse herself more deeply in yoga & meditation practices, philosophy, ayurveda, community studies and service through her participation in a 3-month residency at the Mount Madonna Ashram in Watsonville, California. There, she began a journey of healing and connecting more deeply with herself and others through the sacred yogic teachings that feed her spiritual growth, inspire, and inform her on the eightfold path. 

She is registered with the Yoga Alliance as a RYT-500 teacher and has completed trainings through her home yoga studios in Santa Cruz, CA. Over the years, she has studied and drawn inspiration from yoga and meditation teachers including Kenny Graham, Emily Perry, Sally Kempton, Paul Grilley, Darren Rhodes and Janet Stone.  

Now a resident of Makawao, Tara is enjoying connecting with the upcountry community to share this transformative practice. Her teaching style focuses on linking breath with movement and guiding students through an alignment-based sequence that supports their ability to gain the maximum physical, emotional and spiritual benefits of each posture, by feeling into their own bodies and creating an inner peace they can tap into on or off the mat. Her flow classes are slow and strong, allowing students to attune to the wisdom inside each of them and make the practice their own. Her restorative and yin classes facilitate an experience of connecting with the heart to deeply nourish. It is important to Tara that all students have the opportunity to experience the magic of this ancient practice, regardless of the experiences, identities, or abilities they bring to class. She seeks to meet each individual where they are, to facilitate a safe and loving experience for all. 

Outside of the studio, Tara works for a national nonprofit founded by teachers, that works at every level of the public school system to help partners achieve goals for students. She is also the founder of Healthy Buzz LLC., which offers programming and workshops that introduce adolescents to self-care practices and tools to support their development of healthy habits in the coming-of-age years. Off the mat, Tara is nurtured by spending time in nature with her pup and enjoying all things ocean, hiking, surfing and snowboarding.

Sarah Gray

Sound Ceremony Leader

View Sarah's Bio

Sarah is a lover of liminal spaces. One of her favorite ways to explore the mystery is through the non-doingness of sound bathing. She believes that gathering as community in ceremony is one of the most reassuring and healthy practices we can share, and that sound baths are especially welcoming because or their nondenominational and wordless nature. She utilizes koshi chimes, crystal bowls, the rain drum, and a planetary gong as her primary tools in the sessions, and encourages people to wear and bring along what makes them most comfortable to settle in.
