Trish grew up in the beautiful Willamette Valley and has been practicing yoga there since 2007.  She has 3 kids and loves to cook & entertain family & friends. She gardens, remodels homes, and has a successful career in mortgage lending.  Her teacher trainings have focused on the Baptiste style of yoga - a practice that combines a power flow with a heated environment. “I love the challenge that yoga provides. The blend of a physical flow with concentrated holds and a warm room allows me to narrow my mental focus.  Which in turn, brings me more in touch with my emotions and how I show up in my life.” Power yoga is a great counterpart to weightlifting and cross-training. 

Jamie found her passion for yoga starting from a young age in 2016. She grew up in San Jose, California, and attended an art university in Los Angeles. During the pandemic, she found a kitten in a bush, which further pushed her to move to Oregon. She now has 3 kitties that she loves wholeheartedly. Jamie completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training with Samadhi Yoga Kula at Sole to Soul Yoga Studio with the guidance of Valeria Pearson and Rose Kress in 2024.

Her desire is to help others to find a channel of creativity, self-expression, and equanimity in their life. Jamie guides creative vinyasa flows that develop strength with a mindful focus on the breath and conquering constructive views of the self to free the mind and spirit. She provides modifications for each asana and welcomes everybody.

Jamie has practiced for 8 years, which paved the way to share her wealth of knowledge and deep love to others seeking peace. No matter the circumstances or the discomfort that life throws at us, she believes yoga helps anchor us in our authentic selves. Having seen the mystic sign, yoga led her into a balanced lifestyle with a disciplined mind and a grateful heart.

During her free time, she loves to dance & do tricks with hula hoops, hanging out in the forest or the river, fulfilling her artwork, reading any good book, and of course, spending time with her kitties. You can find her teaching Intermediate Vinyasa on Saturdays @ 11 am - 12:15 pm

Hi, I’m Samantha Schacher, and I’ve been practicing yoga since I was 16 years old. My journey into teaching began after my COVID deployment in 2021 when I earned my 200-hour certification. Yoga has been an anchor for me through life’s challenges, and it’s my honor to share this transformative practice with others.

I specialize in Vinyasa, guiding classes that are accessible and welcoming to all bodies and experience levels. For me, yoga isn’t about how “good” you are at the poses—it’s about showing up for yourself, connecting your mind, body, and spirit, and creating space to just be.

In my classes, you’ll find a judgment-free zone where you’re encouraged to explore, grow, and breathe. Whether it’s your first class or your hundredth, my goal is to make you feel at home on your mat and help you connect deeply with yourself during our time together.

Let’s flow, breathe, and grow together!

Say hello to Maria, a new yoga teacher passionate about helping you unleash your

inner Zen while having a blast! Maria mixes ancient wisdom with modern flair to make

yoga not just a practice but an adventure for everyone—from curious rookies to

seasoned yogis.

Maria didn’t stumble into yoga—she limped into the studio! Years ago, after multiple

injuries and amidst the whirlwind of daily life, yoga revealed itself as the perfect

antidote. What started as a quest for physical fitness quickly transformed into a mission

to master the art of body-mind harmony. Today, Maria is on a mission to share the

magic of yoga with everyone, one pose at a time!

Certified, verified, and bonafide! Maria honed her skills under Rose and Valeria’s

tutelage at Samadhi Yoga Kula and earned her registered yoga teaching certification in

breath-based, trauma-informed training influenced by Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, Kundalini,

Gentle, Adaptive, and Life Force Yoga styles, making her classes super versatile and

enjoyable!

Yoga isn’t about pretzeling yourself into impossible shapes or touching your toes while

reciting poetry—at least not in Maria’s classes! Here, it’s all about progress over

perfection, celebrating your unique journey, and laughing along the way. No pressure,

just fun, and growth in an inclusive, supportive space!

When not transforming lives through yoga, Maria is busy exploring her other passions

like binge-watching feel-good shows, tending her chickens, or traveling to new

destinations. These experiences often inspire creative class themes that add an extra

dash of fun to every session.

After nearly 15 years of cultivating her personal yoga practice, Charlotte followed an intuitive call to embark on the next adventure in her yoga journey – becoming a teacher!

Her deep respect for the ancient roots and cultural origins of yoga is reflected by her intentional integration of mantra (sound), mudra (hand gestures), and pranayama (breathwork) into her Hatha/Vinyasa influenced classes. She compassionately invites students to apply the wisdom of Yogic/Vedic philosophy to face the challenges and fluctuations of the present moment. She believes yoga to be one of many streams leading to an inevitable ocean of liberation and unity, at both the individual (micro) and collective (macro) scale.

Charlotte spends her time away from her mat leading a social justice-centered community garden, and connecting with Mother Earth by frolicking around the wild landscapes of the PNW. She loves to dance with hula hoops and other flow arts props, especially if there is live music involved.

She completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training with Samadhi Yoga Kula at Sole to Soul Yoga Studio with the guidance of Valeria Soares and Rose Kress in 2025. She considers movement a pillar of her daily practices, fortifying her physical, mental, and spiritual vitality. She looks forward to pursuing more movement certifications, like Pilates and Barre, to offer fusion fitness classes in the future.

Kat finds connection, invigoration, and relaxation in yoga. She discovered her love for yoga in 2015 when she was looking for a place to just be, and found a local yoga studio where she made new friends and found personal support. In her practice, Kat enjoys the physical and mental benefits of moving her body while tuning in to herself, freeing her mind from worries and other thoughts. She loves incorporating vinyasa into all of her classes for the energizing flow and heat it creates, followed by longer-held yin-like postures for deeper relaxation. As a mom of three, Kat craves the balance between invigoration and relaxation that yoga provides. She even became certified in prenatal yoga before her second pregnancy with the goal of bringing this practice to the Corvallis Albany area and building a community of fellow gestating moms.
