May Kuckro

May Kuckro discovered yoga in New York City in 1997, and fell in love with the way moving with breath made her feel: strong, free, and happy. Harnessing her natural enthusiasm, she decided this was a practice she wanted to share with others. In 2002, she completed a Vinyasa teacher training with Peter Rizzo, a Jivamukti-trained teacher known for his skilled adjustments. Since then, she’s deepened her knowledge of alignment and heart-centered practice through a teacher training with Anusara teachers Lois Nesbitt, Ellen Saltonstall, and Julie Dohrman. May has taught in New York City, the Hamptons, and Japan. Also a certified Thai bodyworker, she enjoys bringing a deep healing touch to her students.

Anna Holder

Anusara Inspired- Anna teaches in the Anusara style which is based on the Universal Principles of Alignment developed by John Friend, emphasizing optimal alignment, therapeutics, and practicing yoga with intention and heart. Her quest for living fully and authentically brought her to the path of yoga in 1989 exposing her to many teachers in the Iyengar and Ashtanga traditions. Since 2000, she has devoted herself to the Anusara method and her primary teacher, John Friend.

Alex Mclaughlin

 A native to Sag Harbor, Alex fled to New York City to pursue a degree in fashion at FIT. It was not long before she became exasperated by the endless whirlwind and began to search for more meaning. She knew that she needed to slow down and become more present. Her love of yoga and dedication to her own practice awakened a desire to further her study and humbly pursue the possibility of teaching. And once she began, there was no turning back!

Alex has received certifications from Sivananda, Jivamukti and most recently at Yoga Shanti, in a 10 month residency program. Blending the many traditions that she has studied, Alex brings flowing sequences, chanting and mindful instruction to all of her classes. She is grateful to all of her extraordinary teachers: Sharon Gannon and David Life, Manorama, Patricia Borrego, Mary Buffo, Jessica Bellofatto and Colleen Saidman, her family, as well as the many others who bring inspiration to her life daily.

Mary Sammon

A yoga student since her introduction to the practice during her college years in the early 70's, Mary Sammon is a certified Kripalu Yoga instructor. Her personal practice was for many years grounded in the Iyengar tradition and she has studied with many inspiring teachers over the years. After leaving a 22 year career on Wall Street and moving to the East End in 2002, Mary fulfilled her dream to share her love of yoga by becoming a teacher. Her classes are a blend of willful practice emphasizing safe alignment and foundation in asana with mindful breathing--leading to prana flow and an intuitive opening of the body-mind. She teaches gentle, basic, levels 1 and 2, seniors, Chair Yoga and Restorative.

 Anusara Inspired and currently working towards John Friend's Anusara certification with Los Nesbitt and John Seelye. She has also studied with Rodney Yee and the Bellafatto/Saidman teacher training at Yoga Shanti. I love the Energy and Grace which flows through the Body and Spirit when we practice with an open attitude and a focus on alignment and fun. I believe that Yoga helps us to live life more fully with greater ease and to grow/age gracefully.
