Our Teachers

A story is energy that allows us to discover freedom through conscious awareness.

Yoga gives us the space to recreate ourselves through divine guidance & protection. As a yoga teacher, holding a safe space for students to feel and heal is a privilege. Our bodies tell a story. Practicing yoga gives our body the chance to tell the story. When our story flows, we can shift our awareness and change how we perceive ourselves and the world.

Danielle Martucci is an E-RYT and Reiki Master Teacher. Her yoga studies brought her to train in yin yoga, mandala vinyasa, and meridian yoga therapy. Danielle has been practicing yoga since 2016 and has been a teacher since 2018. Through her sadhana (personal daily practice), she studied the four elements and their relationship to the Self.

After years of teaching, Danielle found that she wanted to slow down despite being initially influenced by Ashtanga and Vinyasa. Yin Yoga and Hatha Yoga became the core of her practice and teachings. Understanding the body from the inside out helped her be more confident and stable in everyday life. The yoga practice became less physical and more energetic.

Danielle has traveled all over the world to learn the practice of yoga, including Morocco, Mexico, India, Bali, and Thailand. Her travels humbled her and are a massive part of her compassionate techniques.

Danielle’s offerings have many cultural influences, such as Shamanic, Tantric, Buddhist, and Mayan. The elements, air, earth, fire & water, are beautiful representations of the emotional patterns we experience daily. Through the symbolism of the elements, Danielle can curate the connection to Self in her offerings.

Danielle's therapeutic yoga teachings provide an energetic experience that combines emotional intelligence, introspection, philosophy, and alignment to build strength and flexibility for both body and mind. Through asana, meditation, pranayama, and mantra, we can surrender to our internal reality and become more familiar with truth. Join Danielle in class for self-discovery and self-mastery. We are opening ourselves up to the unconditional love of the universe.

Alexa first came to her yoga mat in 2014. While at the time she was drawn to āsana (the physical practice of yoga), in her heart she felt a call to something deeper. It was in savasana (final rest) where she recognized a safe place where the mind could be at ease, as the affects of her āsana practice could be noticed.

Through continued practice and observation, Alexa came to realize yoga as a way of being. As a mirror for life, the practice returns us to our innate nature, empowering us to see beyond the layers of conditioning. This practice of self-observation touches each aspect of our lives, and it is this Alexa shares through her lifestyle and teaching.

As a teacher, Alexa guides her students to find a home inside of themselves— encouraging introspection and self-exploration. Expect to move through challenging yet thoughtful sequences that leave you feeling physically stronger, mentally lighter, and more connected to yourself and the world around you.

A lifelong student, Alexa is committed to her sadhana (daily personal practice) and continues to approach the practice with love and curiosity. Her training spans vinyasa, hatha yoga, and meridian yoga therapy. With immense gratitude, she receives ongoing guidance and mentorship from Danielle Martucci.

 Watching her mom practice yoga in their living room was Tabitha’s first look at the magic of yoga.  She set foot on her own mat in college in 2010 in search of that peace she saw years before. She has a BA from Rutgers University in Linguistics and Psychology, and has been decoding body language ever since. 

It wasn’t until finding Hot 26 in 2018 that Tabitha began a continuous, sincere practice of yoga. That year she completed her 200hr training in Hot 26, aka Bikram Yoga, and so began her teaching journey.  She stepped into this leadership role by assisting her teacher, Jagadisha, with the following teacher training in 2019 and discovered a passion for helping others find their voice. In 2020, during the pandemic, she completed 500+hrs of Hatha Yoga Training with Cloud Nine Yoga, focussed on Yin and Vinyasa and realized the importance of slowing down, introspection, and acceptance. Recognizing that she wanted to support her students more intimately, she received her License in Massage Therapy in 2022, and creates personalized sessions to reach each persons specific goals. In 2023, Tabitha had the opportunity to co-lead a 200hr teacher training with Cloud Nine Yoga and her teacher, Erika Faith, in Kauai, Hawaii. This 2-week room and board experience was a culmination of all her passions in hosting safe spaces, communicating, movement, and wellness.  This led her to find the magic inside herself. Her hope is to facilitate a journey home to your body, connect with your mind and create a safe space for you to get to know your Self more deeply and Remember. In 2024 Tabitha established herself professionally with Remember Yoga and Massage Therapy LLC. 

Tabitha likes to say, “The slower you go, the more you can feel. The slower you go, the more you can see.”  In this class you will be flowing through a set of asanas ( postures ) at a very mindful pace; giving the body, mind and spirit a chance to fully experience the medicine that each shape has to offer us. You will be challenged and given an opportunity to practice breathing through anything that comes up. As you move through this creative sequence she will help you to fine-tune the details of a posture, helping them become more accessible and enjoyable! All levels are welcome. 

A lifelong seeker of meaning, connection, and purpose, Jill has always been driven by a desire to understand herself and the world around her. This deep, spiritual curiosity naturally led her to yoga in 2012. In 2017, she earned her RYT 200-hour certification and shortly thereafter began teaching full-time in New York City. The unique challenges and rewarding moments of teaching deepened her commitment to sharing yoga as a path of self-exploration and healing.

With additional certifications in yoga meridian training, yin yoga, barre, and mat Pilates, Jill offers a well-rounded approach to her teaching. A nurturer at heart, Jill fosters an environment where students feel supported and encouraged to explore their personal practice. Her teaching focuses on building postures from the ground up, with an emphasis on structural integrity and energetic alignment. Her classes feature thoughtfully crafted sequences, which guide practitioners to connect more deeply with themselves and clear away the noise, always rooted in the belief that yoga begins in the heart.

Many years ago, I found himself in my first yoga class sometime in 2008, and didn’t take my second until years later. It was not love at first sight. It was not romantic. It was uncomfortable, hard, and confusing. And it wasn’t until I was ready that I was able to dedicate myself to both the outer and inner yoga. Knowing this, I am super keen on meeting students where they are and supporting them on their unique path.

My classes are a reflection of me and the students I am working with. Public classes blend some of the deeper teachings of yoga while keeping a strong intentional based foundation that allows for a curious playful embodiment practice, filling in gaps with presence, compassion, and always a little humor. I am inspired by my many teachers like Amy Petty and Noah Maze where I completed my RYT 200, Jason Crandell, and Adriana Rizzolo.

I’ve done extensive inner yoga trainings with David Harshada Wagner with whom I’ve completed thousands of hours of study on applied yoga philosophy. My sadhana has lead me to India many times on pilgrimage where I was initiated into death work at the Missionaries of Charity while working with the sisters caring for the destitute and dying. I was part of the 2018 Death Doula Training with Ram Dass, Bodhi Be, Deanna Cochran, and Amy Glenn Wright. 

The outward expression of Bhakti Yoga has drawn me to Parvathy Baul, a true mystic and master, who perfectly weaves together what lights me up; poets, saints, singers, and dancers. Here my background as a musician has turned my practice to namasankirtan; singing the names of the divine. I use the voice, the body, and instruments as a way to call out for the Beloved. 

I currently lead trainings, retreats, and workshops around the US and online with a focus on Bhakti Yoga , Death/Grief work, and yoga asana. It is my deep honor to carry on and pass down what my teachers have so graciously passed down to me. My hope is to connect you to your inner love and spotlight your superpowers so you can be a servant of love.

Nicole Bartzak is a Trauma-Informed E-RYT 500 and KRI 200, with additional training hours in Yin and Energy Healing.

She received her first 200 hour certification in Ashtanga Vinyasa in Goa, India with Lalit Kumar in 2012, and shortly after immersed herself in Kundalini and chakra healing classes and trainings in India with Viriam Kaur.

From India, Nicole traveled to the Peruvian Amazon where she remained for four years living and working at an Ayahuasca healing center.  While she shared yoga with guests, she herself remained a student but this time of Plant Medicine under the tutelage and guidance of the indigenous Shipibo tribe.  She continued on this path to become a certified Kambo practitioner through Tribal Detox.

In 2017 upon returning to NJ, she completed her 300 hour Hatha/Vinyasa certification at the Vastu Yoga in Montclair with teachers including Kanan Kapila, Nevine Michaan from Katonah Yoga and distinguished instructors from the Iyengar Institute in India.

She completed additional training hours in Yin Yoga with Naomi Fox at LifeTime Florham Park

In 2019, Nicole returned to India - this time to the foothills of the Himalayas in Rishikesh, where she completed her 200 hour Kundalini training with Gurmukh.

In 2020, Nicole became a Trauma-Informed practitioner in the lineage of Peter Levine, as offered by Will Rezin and Aurianna Joy.

Nicole is naturally inspired by the complexity of what it means to be human, always seeking to learn more about life through her own embodied experience and through connection with others. She believes that we are here to heal, love and remember the joy of creation, imagination and play.. and recognizes what an extraordinary amount of courage it can take to do just that. Through yoga, she strives to hold a space that empowers each person to honor their sovereignty and connect to their own inner wisdom.

Nicole walks her path with the utmost reverence for her teachers in all realms, the students that step into her space and the tools and teachings themselves. In the name of Green Tara, Nicole dedicates her work to The Highest Good of All.

Since childhood Steve always had a feeling that there was more to life than meets the eye, and that there is more to Me than simply what I think of myself. There was also, from a very young age, a desire for inner peace. This ultimately led him to meditation, the study of Eastern philosophy and religions, and the practice of Yoga. Over the last twelve years he has practiced in the traditions of Swami Sivananda, Swami Satchidananda (Integral Yoga), BKS Iyengar (Iyengar Yoga), and has dedicated countless hours to the study of the Bhagavad Gita, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and many other spiritual texts of the Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism). In 2016 he received his 200-hour teacher training certification at Naturally Yoga in Glen Rock, NJ and has been teaching (and practicing!) ever since. He currently works as a Registered Nurse, a profession he credits completely to the transformative effects of a dedicated yoga practice. In his classes you will learn very quickly that there is much more to yoga than physical exercise, and much more to yourself than you think.
