Yoga Instructors

I am Cyndi Allen.  I’m an ERYT 500, YACEP, Curvy Yoga certified teacher with a graduate certificate in lifecoaching.  I love helping people, especially larger bodied  and hypermobile people, find connection to their body and their breath through movement, self observation and awareness. 

I try to meet each student where they are in their practice, and create an empowering experience for all.  When not in the studio, I sit on the board for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Chattanooga and enjoy  gardening, reading and hanging out with my rescue pups.

My transformative journey with yoga began 30 years ago. In 2010, I discovered Power Yoga and Stand Up Paddleboard Yoga, igniting my passion for movement and nature. In 2012, I completed my RYT200 training, enhancing my understanding and ability to teach. The next year, I trained in Aerial Yoga, adding creativity and fun to my classes. For the past twelve years, I've taught various styles to all ages and abilities, fostering challenge and self-discovery.

Despite my sweet voice, I will challenge people to go beyond their mental limits and find their physical limits. Join me for Go With the Flow Yoga, a supportive yoga class that encourages everyone in their journey!

I am Chamar Drane, a wife and mother of two, as well as a dedicated Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200) yoga instructor. My belief is that yoga truly is for everybody and every body, regardless of where one starts. Through my classes, whether they are power or gentle yoga, I aim to create an inclusive environment that promotes personal growth and balance.

In private sessions tailored to each individual’s unique needs, I help them to discover their own path toward reaching personal goals. In my experience, finding balance is essential not only in yoga but also in life. Each pose and breath taken on the mat enhances the journey we undertake beyond it.

I’ve been sharing the joy of yoga since 2010, blending movement, mindfulness, and a touch of sunshine energy in every class. As a lifelong dancer since the age of three, movement practices have always been second nature to me. My yoga style weaves together breathwork, strength, stretching, and stillness—infused with gentle shaking, dance-inspired movement, and uplifting energy. Yoga was the spark that led me to massage therapy and eventually to creating Jillian’s Healing Arts Center, where I continue to help others reconnect with their smart bodies.

While I don’t teach weekly classes, I love offering specialty workshops and seasonal events that are fun, lighthearted, and deeply nourishing. Expect a unique experience filled with essential oils, Reiki, and spontaneous moments of inspiration as we move, breathe, and reset together. Let’s shake, flow, and feel amazing! Make sure you join our email list to be updated when I offer these specialty classes.

I started practicing yoga in the 90’s while I was in high school. For almost 30 years yoga has been a constant in my life. I enjoy my practice so much I wanted to share my experience with others. I started teaching yoga in 2021. I am certified 200 hr yoga teacher. (CYT-200) I am also certified in Chair Yoga, Children's Yoga, and Restorative Yoga. I hold a sunrise classes and a mat class which are Hatha based classes. Chair yoga class might be for you if you are dealing with decreased mobility or conditions that restrict your movements. Adding a chair to your practice lets you experience the benefits of yoga while still being kind and gentle to your body.

A little about me, I have been married to my husband Michael for 26 years, mom of three boys, and a Nana to two beautiful granddaughters. I am also a dog mom to 2 Great Pyrenees.

If you have ever been interested in yoga and would like to try it out. I would love to help you start on your journey. For those of you who have or are practicing yoga, I'd love to continue our journey together.

I am a breast cancer survivor who has embraced my journey by becoming a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200), specializing in yin yoga, visualization, and affirmations. My approach to yoga emphasizes the gentler aspects of the practice, making it accessible to individuals seeking healing and tranquility.

I am a certified Holden Qigong teacher dedicated to helping people create a harmonious flow of energy in body, heart, and mind. Through qigong, I guide people to release stress, cultivate vitality, and move with effortless ease, all while fostering mental clarity and emotional resilience. 

Certified in qigong in 2021, my journey was deeply influenced by my earlier training in yoga, which helped me tune into my body and become more aware of both the physical and subtle energies within. Yoga taught me to listen to my body in a way I had never experienced before, allowing me to better understand the flow of energy and movement—insights that naturally led me to explore the healing practice of qigong.

In my classes, I guide students through a variety of exercises designed to relax the body and cultivate abundant energy. I focus on developing a strong and flexible foundation, encouraging a smooth flow of energy, and supporting a calm state of mind. My approach empowers people to move with greater fluidity and tap into their body’s natural capacity for healing. Whether you're seeking to release tension, boost energy, or develop a deeper connection to your body, these qigong classes offer a rejuvenating experience for body, heart, and mind.
