Inna Milko
Inna is a very passionate yoga teacher. She started her yoga journey in 2012 while working as a fashion designer in Kiev and struggling with maintaining good physical health. Yoga practice helped Inna through a lot of hard times and big life changes. She finds yoga very therapeutic and empowering. After exploring different modern yoga practices around Europe, from Hot, Hatha to Ashtanga practices, Inna got her traditional 500 E-RYT training here in Atlanta. With her love for people, Inna finds teaching yoga very rewarding. Bright smiles and small wins of her students are her biggest inspiration. During this teacher training program, Inna will help you find your own voice as a leader. She will teach you how to use authentic yoga practices in a fresh and creative way.
TJ Mangrum
TJ has been teaching yoga asana, pranayama, and meditation since 2012. Her sharing of the practice is deeply rooted in observance of the lineage, history, and the importance of practice. Studied in alignment focused asana, her offerings offer athletic inspired practice with safety and lineage focus. She believes in the power of choosing to breathe. And she practices and believes in the power of a good physical practice that invites the practitioner to get uncomfortable with staying comfortable and more comfortable with being uncomfortable. She encourages and appreciates a good sweat to play with stilling one’s mind and opening oneself to the possibility of seeing the things that we may try so hard not to see.
Sharon Caplan
After a successful career as a professional dancer in both ballet and theatre, Sharon found her next path and another way to express her love and joy of movement when she stepped into her first yoga class back in 2000. The style of yoga was Ashtanga, a very classical lineage, which she studied for 10 years. In 2005, Sharon moved to Colorado where she taught for 9 years. She was formerly co-owner of Telluride Yoga Center and studio manager for O2 Aspen. Then in 2014, Sharon moved back to Atlanta and rejoined the yoga community teaching throughout the city. With her passion to inspire others through movement and music and from her previous training, teachers and experiences, Sharon’s unique style of yoga is an uplifting moving meditation focusing on fluid, dynamic and intelligent sequencing designed to create heat as well as help us get out of our heads and into our bodies.
Kate March
Kate began practicing yoga in 2009, receiving her 200hr RYT in 2018 through Infinity Yoga, Atlanta. Although the postural yoga practice is only a small part of the lifelong spiritual practice of yoga, Kate understands it is an essential somatic tool in the journey toward a more mindful and purposeful life. A believer in the sentiment that how we do one thing is how we do everything, she implores her students to engage in their practice with grit, curiosity, humility, and, above all else, joy. Kate is also a certified personal trainer, which informs her emphasis on mobility rather than flexibility in her classes, highlighting modifications, structural alignment, and use of props to ensure her students feel strong, stable, and confident in their asana work.
