ABOUT OJO'S YOGA INSTRUCTORS

Doug Gilnett, Certified Yoga Instructor

Doug took his first yoga class at a YMCA in Dayton, Ohio in 1996 and was hooked. His immediate love of the science of yoga took him to the source – India -- where he spent four years living and studying in an ashram. He completed his Yoga teacher certification through the University of New Mexico-Taos. His teaching style is interdisciplinary and incorporates elements of Hatha, Restorative, Svastha, and Myofascial Yoga. He thanks his teachers: Joyce Beason, Monique Parker, Kirstie Segarra, Michelle Marien, and Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev for joyfully sharing their teachings. An experienced therapeutic bodyworker, Doug is sensitively attuned to the mind-body healing process, leading students of all levels through their own practice of self-discovery. His playful personality and contagious sense of humor brings a lightheartedness to each class he teaches. Doug continues to expand his Yoga studies on and off the mat, incorporating all he learns into his work as a massage therapist.

Ashleigh Beyer, Certified Yoga Instructor
Born in Denver, Ashleigh is excited to come to Taos by way of Boston, Chicago and most recently, Brooklyn, where she had been teaching yoga full time for the past four and a half years. Ashleigh found yoga seriously in 2001 after sustaining a lower back injury and finally got the guts to complete her teacher training in 2007 at the Laughing Lotus College of Yoga. Ashleigh has been fascinated to watch how yoga has changed for her over the years. At first, Ashleigh was only interested in the therapeutic aspects of the practice, and once healed, she only wanted to answer to the call of the flow. More recently, she has been re-inspired by The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and the practice of seated meditation. Ashleigh’s classes are a healing, playful and challenging roadmap to letting go. She is grateful to the teacher in everything.

Suki Mierzejewsk, Certified Yoga Instructor

Suki thanks her parents for the gift of yoga as a young child. She learned from them about our profound relationship with nature, and the power of our embodiment. Upon completing a Level I teacher training with Noah Maze and Naime Jezzeny in 2005, she began teaching Anusara Inspired classes in Taos. Encouraged by the blossoming delight she experiences in the every day, she continues to share the possibility of more joy with her students. She has completed an Anusara Level II Teacher Training and Advanced Therapeutics with John Friend and continues to study with her other generous teachers including Karen Dalury, Darren Rhodes, Desiree Rumbaugh, Genevieve Oswald, and so many more. The Anusara method heartens Suki to uphold the most basic of tenets; respect for everyone’s potential as we are all ultimately graced with Shree. She lives with her lovely family in Taos and enjoys playing in the dirt.
