Staraya McKinstry Robinson
MPH, AHP
Staraya finds grace in all forms. Her studies and teachings of yoga, ayurveda and ceremony are based on a strong commitment to help herself and others realize their true vibrant selves. A few years ago Staraya decided to make yoga and ayurveda her full time focus and went to study at Kripalu where she received her 200 hour Registered Yoga Training (RYT) certification under the guidance of Brahmani Liebman and Jashoda Edmunds. She then applied to Kripalu School of Yoga and Ayurveda to pursue her 500 RYT, Ayurveda Yoga Specialist and Ayurvedic Counselor Certification. Upon completion, Staraya continued her studies at the world-renowned Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque, NM under the guidance of Dr. Vasant Lad, Maria Garre, Nomi Gallo and Jennifer Ayres, where she earned her Ayurvedic Health Practitioner Certification. Since then she has also been certified in Yin Yoga and Ayuryoga©. Staraya loves the science behind Ayurveda and enjoys the creativity that yoga allows. She draws from both traditions in order to help people optimize their health through diet, lifestyle and following the Earth's patterns.
MALLORIE BUOY (PREM)
Yoga began for Mallorie as a journey towards relaxation, which quickly unfolded into a spiritual path, a practice for deep core strength, and a connection to an expansive life philosophy. This newfound passion led Mallorie to the Akhanda Yoga 200 hour YTT (2010) with her teacher, Yogrishi Vishvketu. She went on to complete her Yin YTT, Restorative YTT and Vinyasa YTT, and became certified in Kundalini Yoga and Yoga Lifestyle Counseling during a 500 hour YTT in Rishikesh, India. The path and practice of yoga continue to support and awaken Mallorie to the vast and beautiful nature of this life, clarifying her purpose to teach and learn in the presence of compassion, uniqueness, and devotion.
