Iana Edwards | Founder
"My mission to help people feel better in their bodies through yoga was inspired by my own struggles with depression, ADD, anger, motor nerve neuropathy and unfortunately, much more. A short time after starting my yoga journey, I started to gain a sense of knowing, a soul GPS you could say. For the first time in my life, I truly felt good. Yoga taught me to be calm in the face of chaos and to be still in times of stress. The process can be tough, but the benefits that exist on the other side are so worth seeing it through. Yoga has changed my life in a multitude of ways; Allow it to change yours too."
- trained by 5x hatha yoga champion Ida Ripley

My specialty is Yin Yoga as it provides a decompressing, deepening of breath, and a gentle/progressing stretch. As an instructor I like to highlight breathing and intention for your flow. You will feel rejuvenated and leave your mat with a sense of clarity and peace. This is an equal exchange, so thank you for joining me. <3
Qishanda La’ree
Hiii, I’m Qishanda La’ree from Los Angeles & a newbie to Atlanta. When I’m not acting or directing I am teaching yoga & chiiiiillld do I love yoga! It’s literally the best thing. I found yoga back in 2014 & shortly after lost 30lbs. And I've never looked back.
I am passionate about helping others look & feel good from the inside out & understanding what that means for themselves. Yoga for me isn’t just physical, it’s mental a whole lot of mental strength. With mental mastery, mastery of self follows, it follows you all the way to the moment your sitting in traffic AND you're already 10mins late AND people are constantly cutting you off AND... your ok. LOL yea that’s Yoga.
As your instructor I will push you to challenge yourself mentally, spiritually, & of course physically! And have fun while doing it. Yoga, is compassion, grace & peace, let’s give that to ourselves daily. Can’t wait to see you in Class!
Briah Stinson
Yoga is everything to me. Yoga is what has been the most prevalent tool in guiding back to my true self. Yoga and my daughter are the only 2 things to finally help me love myself and see the purpose in this experience here, and spreading this ancient art and practice that has transformed and elevated my life in the way it has is a huge part of that purpose. Through teaching the style of vinyasa yoga it’s my goal to have every student feeling more connected to their breath, bodies, and ultimately themselves after every class.

Seitebatso Kabi
"My name is Seitebatso Kabi. I am a yogini from the Kingdom of Lesotho, also known as the Kingdom in the Sky. I started practicing yoga 4 years ago at my university gym at the height of my anxiety and depression and then I didn't quite understand what yoga was other than that people became flexible when they practiced it. I could not believe the world I was introduced to when I realized it was so much more than just Asana but more of mental and spiritual refinement. It was the practice of Pranayama that convinced me that yoga needs to be the center of my life. I've seen myself navigate situations in my life with a different mindset and clarity because of the practices I've been privy to from yoga. Yoga has saved me countless times and most importantly made me believe in myself and my aspirations. I knew immediately after I started my practice that it was something I needed to share with others and I'm humbled to be finally on that journey."
