Nathan began his teaching journey with Vinyasa Yoga in 2011 and has since been certified in multiple styles of yoga, fitness, and dance. A graduate of NYU’s theater program and a lifelong athlete and artist, he brings creativity, mindfulness, and joy into his teaching. After years in New York, he returned to the West Coast to continue sharing movement and meditation practices that are accessible, safe, and uplifting.

Sound healing became a natural extension of Nathan’s meditation practice and artistic path. He leads breathwork and sound meditations at a leading behavioral health center in Southern California, blending recovery principles and Nonviolent Communication (NVC) to create spaces for healing and self-discovery.

When he’s not teaching, Nathan enjoys quiet moments with his two cats and exploring creative expression through art and comedy.

Ava Moreno entered the yoga and fitness community through her first love: dance. She began her dance training as a toddler, training in all forms of dance. After having struggled with a severe eating disorder when she began her professional dance career at age 16, Ava found Colleen Quinn, an incredible mentor and inspiration to her through the form of a personal trainer and physical therapist.

Ava has also struggled with several injuries in dance due to her hypermobility, including a medial patellofemoral ligament knee reconstruction at age 20, leading her to look into deeper ways of understanding and helping her body. Although Ava had first been introduced to yoga at age 11 through dance, it was not until she entered recovery from her eating disorder that she began practicing regularly, discovering the peace, focus, and stability–both physically and mentally–it brought her. Throughout her recovery, Ava studied nutrition and began to explore the yoga, fitness, and wellness world.
