Shiva (Neil) Edsall, ERYT
Shiva's personal practice is greatly influenced by all aspects of yogic and spiritual philosophy. As a Jnana Yogi he continues to make his sadhana the study of all spiritual traditions. It is Shiva's belief that the core teachings of all the world’s philosophies and religions are the same, the differences coming from the pulpit. Shiva's discourses blend the best of the world's teachings with his experiences as a yogi, husband, father, and inhabitant of this incredibly diverse world. As a natural extension of Shiva's practice he artfully crafts malas and inspirational pieces of jewelry while practicing his mantra, infusing the piece and creating malas which are unique and Divinely inspired. Shiva's life has been inspired by the teachings of his Guru Sri Reverend Jaganath Carrera, as well as many of life's other Gurus including his wife Sheryl, without whom he may not have found the path of yoga when he did. Shiva aknowledges the teachings of many other great Teachers who have influenced him such as; Sri Swami Satchidananda, Sri Swami Rama (and senior disciples), Sri Swami Brahmananda Saraswati, and Paramahansa Yogananda.
Krishna (Damian) Boscardin, RYT
Krishna is a Certified Yoga Instructor and has been teaching since 2001. He feels fortunate that he has been studying with great teachers from different Yoga traditions. He is a disciple of his revered spiritual teacher Sri Reverend Jaganath Carrera and an active member of Yoga Life Society. His classes are creative and playful as well as filled with the ancient Yoga Philosophy and spiritual teachings that make us reflect and open our minds and hearts to other aspects of our being that may be dormant in one's busy modern living. As a devoted student and teacher in Yoga his highest purpose is to promote health in the body, peace in the mind, and happiness in one's own heart and then share the blessings with others.
Lillie Kae fell in Love with Yoga in 1999 and has since been inspired by the joy, awareness, wisdom and challenges of how Yoga so beautifully opens the heart, mind, body and soul. A graduate of Om Yoga Center in NYC, she received additional certification for Pre-Natal and Children’s Yoga. She has a passion for studying various traditions, which allows her to infuse her teaching style with sacred teachings, anatomy and refined detail to alignment. Her classes are harmoniously colored with humor, music/chanting and a great respect for the practice of meditation and Pranayama. As a former dancer, Vinyasa Yoga organically emerged as the style of Hatha to most resonate with Lillie Kae. Yoga has enriched her life with humility, compassion, curiosity and open-heartedness. She continues to learn with great reverence under the guidance of her teachers Sheryl Edsall, Jason Brown, and her Spiritual Teacher, Sri Reverend Jaganath Carrera.
Parvati (Carol) Seigel, RYT
When Carol began practicing yoga in 2000 the connection was immediate and powerful. She felt like it had given a name to the path she was traveling on for a long time. When Carol takes a seat as a yoga teacher, her intention is to create a space in which each student can discover his or her own yogic path. Through our flow of asana, breath work and meditation we realize the gift…that yoga can strengthen the body, calm the mind, open the heart and awaken the spirit. As a schoolteacher, Carol has the opportunity to share this gift with her students and colleagues. At the studio, she has the joy of working with prenatal students and those seeking a gentler, informative class. Carol feels honored to be a part of the Naturally Yoga community and hopes her classes help connect students to their strength, joy and serenity, both on and off the mat. Namaste.
