Stephanie Peterson


 

Stephanie is the owner and creator of Tribe Yoga Studio, with both her 500 hour and E-200 hour Registered Yoga teacher Certifications. She believes that movement is magic, everything is better with music and mindset matters. In her classes, you will find creative theming and sequences, fresh playlists, and a sense of relatability and humor.

“I truly believe the practice of yoga is for everybody and for every motivation. I hope my students always feel comfortable walking into my class, knowing this is a supportive, judgement free space and that they feel better in some way after practicing- whether that’s stronger, calmer, clearer, more joyful, confident and connected. Yoga has had such a profoundly positive impact on my life, it is a dream come true to be able to share this practice with others.”

When she is not on the yoga mat, Stephanie is usually out running and training for her next marathon or cheering on her teenage son on the sports fields.

Ashley Liguori


 

My yoga journey began in 2001 when I stumbled across Steve Ross on Inhale. It dissolved everything I thought I knew about yoga and I was instantly hooked! I received my first teacher training in 2003 and a second in 2013. I am a wife, and a mother to Olivia, Michael, JohnLuca, and my labradoodle McLovin.

When I'm not with my family, I can be found on my mat. I most enjoy teaching vinyasa flow, power yoga, arm balances, and inversions. My classes are designed to uplift the heart, build strength and cultivate a quiet that enables the practitioner to truly hear the heart.

Yoga is my church. It's the place that no matter what I'm holding on to, it always receives me with open arms and sends me on my way to a better version of myself. It's a place where I can always find God. My prayer as a teacher is that the students I'm blessed to work with leave feeling strong, empowered, and loved

Deana Elwell


 

Deana is a dedicated yoga instructor that will challenge the experienced yogi while also breaking down the basic asana to beginners or intermediate students. Deana was first brought to yoga in 2006 while training for a marathon and received her certification from The Yoga Education Institute in 2012.

“Yoga is an important part of my life, it has helped me grow stronger, more flexible and fearless both on and off the mat. Yoga inspires me to live each moment more mindfully. I will always be a student of the practice. In my classes, I love to combine creative sequencing, a spirit of playfulness and a dose of inspiration to help deepen your practice. I seek to help others nurture their body, mind and soul with yoga so they step off their mat feeling refreshed, nourished and balanced”.

Erica Ramirez


 

Yoga is like taking a full breath of fresh air on top of a mountain by the sea. It's POWERFUL!

This healing practice blessed Erica's life 9 years ago when she began hot yoga to relieve her back pain from childbirth. Once her physical body recovered, she noticed her mental health improving. Stress, depression and self-limiting beliefs were easier to process and eventually let go. Empowered by the profound transformation from her yoga practice, Erica went to study with Ignite Yoga & Wellness and became a certified teacher in December 2018. Her intention has always been to spread the yoga love in a way that's accessible for everyone. Since then, she has taught classes outside, in a studio, private sessions, kids yoga, and yoga with live music!

Erica believes our natural state is Joy and we can return to blissful peace through our breath, movement, and mindset.

With a warm & welcoming atmosphere, Erica's flow encourages an opportunity to see how yoga can work for you. Her style is a mix of Hatha and slow-flow Vinyasa, with the focus on moving mindfully in sync with the breath. Each class includes meditation, breathwork, good music, and a lovely savasana.

Alicia Lowenstein


 

 My love and passion for yoga began after taking a class with my mother in my teens. I fell in love with the moving meditation and how balanced and strong I felt after every class. Yoga became my outlet as a way to destress, fill my own cup, and have this organic, peaceful break from the 9-5 life. I became a 200 HR Certified Yoga Teacher so I could share this ever-growing practice of physically and mentally embodying yoga with others.

My goal for teaching is to assist my students in connecting the mind, body and soul in a grounding and playful way. I love to sprinkle in my studies of astrology, spirituality, and the environment to encourage my students to tap into their most authentic selves on and off the mat.

She believes that Yoga is like a coffer filled with wonderful tools that are going to help you in different situations in your life, changing your perspective, expanding your conscience and encouraging the connection between mind, body and soul.

Frankie Malho


 

Frankie has been teaching yoga in in central Florida since 2021. A major health transformation brought her to her mat in 2019 and she knew she wanted to share this practice of self-care with others.

Her classes focus on pairing breath with movement and finding elements of fun and self care in your practice.

Shannon Potter


 

Shannon began her yoga journey in 2017 when she wanted to stop smoking. She thought yoga felt good in the body and loved learning challenging asanas including arm balances. She wasn’t completely hooked until she went through a dark period in her life. She leaned into yoga, took multiple classes a day, read ancient texts, and took a deep dive into her own mind, body, and spirit. It’s completely transformed her life into what feels like an ever-changing mandala of beauty. Shannon sought her 200-hour teacher training in Thailand, March 2022, where she studied Eastern philosophies with international teachers. She is passionate about sharing the practice that saved her. In Shannon’s classes, you can expect to feel challenged physically and be guided through your mental, emotional, and spiritual landscape.

Shannon also loves to travel the world, in search of adventure, yogic practices, and connection to spirit. She has experienced many hats ranging from white water raft guide to wilderness therapy guide. In all aspects, she is a guide at heart; for her spirit and others.

Let’s create some good energy together!
