Alexandra’s yoga journey began in her childhood, when during summer breaks in Romania she would meditate alongside her aunt who taught her practices in forgiveness, focused breathing, and energetic visualization. In her teens she took her first yoga asana class and was hooked–finding the practice perfectly suited her passion for movement and dedication to spirituality. After four years of art history studies in Paris, she returned to New York where she immersed herself in the yogic path with over 10 years of study and teaching various communities since 2010.

Over the last decade, Brittany has traversed six continents exploring and finding inspiration from the knowledge of the people, the land, and the cultures of the world.

Now, fully healed from the brain injury, she desires to share what she has learned with others in hopes of inspiring them on their own journey.

Dylan is a movement enthusiast and recovering perfectionist who discovered yoga during college, taking occasional classes at the local climbing gym. For years she was a climber first, but eventually something clicked, and the yoga began to offer her a greater sense of physical and spiritual awareness that changed her approach to life and fully commanded her attention. Drawn back to her mat more and more often, Dylan began teaching yoga in 2019 after earning her 200-hour RYT certification with Cindy Lunsford. Always a student first, she has since completed training intensives with Jason Crandell, Jimmy Barkan and Gillian St. Clair. Above all, she stays dedicated to her personal practice as a tool for getting back to center and perpetually reimagining what is possible. Dylan teaches alignment-focused vinyasa yoga that lands at the intersection of strength and fluidity. Whether in a powerful, sweaty practice or a grounding slow flow, she offers clear, accessible cues and intuitive sequences, and holds space for students to practice with curiosity, possibility, and play.
Off the mat, Dylan is a software engineer and a Capricorn who loves calisthenics, reading, cooking, writing, live music, lifestyle design, and dancing in the kitchen with her cat, Iggy.

Steven is a former US Marine of 6 years. He then entered the construction industry where he worked his way up from shovel in hand to corporate management. After 17 years of the material grind, he had an existential crisis and began to seek answers through such yogis and philosophers as Ram Dass and Alan Watts. He eventually stumbled upon Raghunath Prabhu and began to follow the Bhakti path. Soon thereafter he retired to the forest with his son for an experiment in off the grid living. After 2.5 years of seeking answers through yoga and philosophy, he realized he needed association to further his Bhakti practice. At that same time, he met Cindy, and the wheels of Yogasoul Bhakti Center were set in motion.
